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.
