ENTOMOLOGICAL INTELLIGENCE, ETC. 
upon various species of insects which attack fruit trees; such as 
the American blight, the pear-leaf blister moth, &c. 
The Entomological Society of London also, desirous of acquiring 
public support by giving proofs of a desire to render its labours 
useful, instituted prizes for memoirs on destructive insects, and if no' 
other good had originated from the society than the publication of 
Mr. Le Keuxs memoir on the turnip Haltica, and Mr. Newport's 
on the Athalia Centifoliae, it would have amply merited the support 
it has received. 
A series of papers appeared in the early volumes of the 
Entomological Magazine, by an anonymous writer, on different 
species of obnoxious insects, and in 1837, I commenced the 
following series of articles in Loudon’s Gardener’s Magazine : — 
No. ]. The Turnip Flea-beetle ( Haltica 
nemorum), including descriptions of 
two new British species. 
2. Otiorhynchus sulcatus. 
3. The Turnip Saw-fly (Athalia Centi- 
folice). 
4. The Onion Fly ( Anthomyia Cepa - 
rum). 
5. Wheat Flies ( Chlorops glabra , &c.) 
6. The Asparagus Beetle ( Crioceris 
Asparngi). 
7. Rose Moths (Argyrotoza Bergman- 
niana ). 
8. The Small Ermine Moth (Ypono- 
menta padella ). 
No. 9. The Slimy Grub of the Pear, &c. 
(Selandria jEthiops). 
10. Caterpillar of the Apricot-bud ( Di- 
tula angustiorana). 
11. The Wire Worm (El a ter lineatus). 
12. The Codling Moth ( Carpocapsa 
pomonella).

Moreover, in Loudon's Arboretum Britannicum, I have given an 
account of the insects which attack the principal genera of English 
trees. 
In Scotland, Mr. J. Duncan has also published a series of 
articles in the Quarterly Journal of Agriculture, on obnoxious 
insects, of which the following is a list, together with references to
