Lor Osh le LONDON : PRINTED BY A. NAPIER, SEYMOUR STREET, EUSTON SQUARE. PREFACE. Seven years have elapsed since we submitted our first number to the Entomologists of this country. That this was effected with some amount of misgiving, is not to be denied. We knew that former disinterested attempts to establish purely Entomological Journals had, sooner or later, succumbed to what appeared an inevitable, and large, pecuniary loss. It is with pardonable self-congratulation, then, that we see the close of our Seventh Volume; and we believe that any deficiency in the collective balance-sheet of the undertaking, so far as it has gone, is likely to be eventually, if but slowly, reduced and ex- tinguished. We thank our supporters for so ably and successfully seconding our endeavours to furnish Entomologists with a standard serial at a moderate cost; if each of them will continue his assistance, and introduce the Magazine to the notice of his friends, we shall not fear the future. 1, Paternoster Row, London, E.c.
