“The present volume is more than an amplification and 
correction of its predecessor. It has been my aim, by the 
insertion of more readable matter, to render the c Companion’ 
more entertaining, without sacrificing any of its usefulness, 
and without enhancing the cost. 
“ One main object of this book is to induce Entomologists 
to observe and record their observations. We must multiply 
the number of observers. Every nook and corner must be 
ransacked by some observing Entomologist ; and the more 
labourers in the field the sooner will the harvest be gathered 
in.”— Preface .
