In the last sentences of the series of lectures on Insect Contrivances," which Professor Mill brought to an end last month at the Royal Institution, he gave some advice to intending entomologists. It was not to make collections, or lists of local specics-these things had already been done, and thoroughly done but to study the life histories of insects, which, especially in the dipters, were still very much to seek. He added the counsel, which the illumin. ting charm of his own methods of imparting information entitled him to offer, though few would be able to emulate bim in accepting it that the young entomologist should not be content with facts, but should make them the basis of reflections.
