THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER, 
197 
touching the nature and progress of the 
study of Entomology, and concluded by 
commenting on the delicate and beautiful 
appearance of the insect: the magnifi- 
cent and harmonious blending of colours 
he described as 
“Mv wings are of the finest blue, 
Grand as the turquoise stone, 
Like the blue of yonder sky, 
When seen at early morn.’' 
A vote of thanks to Mr. Hind was pro- 
posed and carried for his kindness, and 
the meeting adjourned to the first Mon- 
day in April. 
THE GRADUS. 
TO THE EDITOR OF THE ‘INTELLI- 
GENCER.’ 
Sir, — Some time has now elapsed 
since a letter appeared in your columns, 
offering, in the names of our respective 
Societies, to supply the demand that had 
been made for a Gradus of the names of 
British Lepidoptera. 
The Entomological Societies of Oxford 
and Cambridge have been since then 
working at the subject, and now we are 
able to state that, early in the summer, 
we hope to issue two publications. Of 
these one will be ‘ An Accentuated List 
of the British Lepidoptera,’ with the 
quantities of the names marked: of this 
(we hope) the price will be about 3d. 
The other publication will give the deri- 
vations of the generic and specific names, 
the times when, the persons by whom, 
and, as far as possible, the reasons why, 
the several names were given : of this the 
price will probably be about 2s., but this 
will depend on the number of subscribers’ 
names we receive. 
We hope that thus the List will be 
within the reach of all classes of ento- 
mologists, and that the discussion about 
the Gradus will terminate. 
We shall be glad to receive the names 
of those who will take copies of our 
work. 
We remain, Sir, 
Yours very truly,
