Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, 1871-72, Vol. 8 It is expedient to have no more synonymy, a word which has now lost all its original meaning. When, out of chaos, synonymy was born, it served a very useful object. Then, six persons called the same insect by as many different names, because they used different books. All the descriptive works on entomology were costly, and few people could possess more than their one author. Then, entomologists of different countries knew nothing of each other s books, and there was real confusion in the names of species and of genera. In short, the error among entomologists was then not communis the majority knew nothing of any other name than that which they themselves used. The case is now so altered, that synonymy does not any longer answer its former function. All entomologists use one name in the vast majority of cases. There is no real confusion, even if different names are used; as, in the very few cases of doubt, entomologists know and use both the names Doom and its synonyms), and no list-writer would be much of a guide in such contested cases as those. The evil in fact now is felt in quite the opposite direction to that in which it once showed itself. Of old, entomologists knew one name only and held to it right or wrong: now they are never satisfied. If a name has been long and generally in use, it is all the more eligible, the writers seem to think, as a victim to the shrine of This restlessness is utterly absurd but the only cure for it is a good broad rule, that entomologists will henceforth ignore all names but those in use now.

Excerpt from The Entomologist, 1916, Vol. 49: An Illustrated Journal of General Entomology IN vol. Lxvii, p. 185, of this magazine, there is an article on Wicken Fen from the able pen of Mr. H. Rowland Brown. Different people, however, view a subject from different standpoints, and thus a few jottings on certain impressions I formed during a visit in June last may not be without interest. It was then about forty years since I commenced to take an active interest in matters entomological, but during the whole of that period I had never once visited the Wicken district any impressions were, therefore, those of a stranger, and to pick up some local knowledge I spent a considerable time conversing with certain Of the natives respecting the past and the present condi tion of the Fen.

Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine: Vol; 5-6 AT the conclusion of the fifth volume, we beg to express our thanks to our supporters, to whom is due the steadily increasing useful ness of the Magazine hoping also that the termination of a second lustrum will find us enjoying then, as now, the same amicable relations with them, and the same unity of purpose amongst ourselves with the satisfaction of knowing that, in having constantly held in view the advancement of Entomology, we have maintained an independence of party feeling, the entertainment of which, even in the slightest degree, is fatal to scientific progress, and a thing to be eschewed by all true naturalists. We regret exceedingly that for many numbers of this volume we were unable, through extreme pressure, to give prompt attention to many important communications, and this notwithstanding the issue of several enlarged numbers: our correspondents will please bear in mind that our constant aim is to clear ofi' accumulations of materials as soon as possible. In answer to enquiries as to the financial condition of the under taking, we simply say that experience seems to prove that each volume recoups its expenses (and nearly exhausts our present limited impression) in about four years, a result we had scarcely hoped for at our commencement, and which gives an additional guarantee for a long existence.

Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, Vol. 12: June, 1875 Muscidce are very sluggish in their movements, and are incapable Of ight. Four species are common. One of them is abundant on Pringlea, crawling over the leaves. When it is approached, it feigns to be dead, and, tucking up its legs, drops down into the axils Of the leaves; or, if it happens to be upon a plane surface, one need only look at it closely, and it throws itself promptly upon its back and remains motionless until the threatened danger is over, when it gradually ven tures to move its limbs and struggle to regain its footing. Its wings are represented by minute gemmules, and it possesses halteres. The ovipositor is extended, its apical joint alone being retracted. The larva feeds upon decaying vegetable matter. Another species occurs on dead birds and mammals, as well as beneath stones near the highest tide-mark. It is completely destitute Of even the vestiges Of wings and halteres. It and the preceding species are rather smooth. A third species, slightly hairy, is common amongst tide-refuse and on the adjacent rocks, which are coated with Enterommpha, on which plant, inter alia, the larva feeds. It has very small triangular rudiments Of wings, slightly emarginate near the apex Of the costa, and possesses halteres. The fourth species occurs amongst grass growing on the sea shore and also in Shag-rookeries. Its linear and very narrow wings are almost as long as the abdomen. It can jump, but cannot y.

Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, 1864-65, Vol. 1 The first Volume of The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine being concluded, its Editors take the opportunity of saying the following few words on their reasons for bringing it forward. They felt that the Entomologists of this country had no periodical, exclusively devoted to their science and procurable at a moderate price, which could be used as a medium for publishing discoveries or observations. With that feeling, and at the request of numerous friends, they instituted this Magazine; resolving at the outset that, although of a sufficiently scientific character to contain descriptions of new species, and memoirs of similarly high interest, - it should also act as a chronicle Wherein any observer could register note-worthy captures, or observations on the transformations, habits, &c., of insects; such records being of great value as a source from which writers of monographs or papers on geographical distribution, &c., may draw much information.
