Excerpt from The Entomologist's Record and Journal of Variation, Vol. 7: September, 1895, to April, 1896
We have, on the completion of another volume, to tender once again our warmest thanks both to our subscribers and contributors.
The 12 numbers comprising this volume have been issued in eight months. The contents, we venture to think, will bear comparison with those of any previous volume, and, in spite of the frequency of our publication, two double numbers have had to be issued to clear off accumulations of material.
The publication of the Magazine, however, more frequently than once a month, has not, as one would have supposed, been univer sally approved, and after the completion of the next volume when a new volume commences with the new year) it is our present intention to revert to the monthly issue. At the same time we are very grateful to those who have written so kindly and asked us to reconsider this decision. Amongst others, Sir Archibald Buchan Hepburn writes I regret to see in the last number of the E'ntom. Record that you propose to revert to the original monthly publication. This you will no doubt agree with me in considering a retrograde step; one great advantage of the present mode is that notices, etc., are kept up to date. The more often the publication is put into my hands (and I am sure this is the opinion of the larger number of your subscribers) the better pleased I am, at any rate, I hope you will see your way to publish 48-page numbers monthly I do not often interfere in matters of this sort, but on this occasion I feel that the majority of your subscribers would support you in con tinning the present arrangement, and if you are not afraid of the increase in your labour of editing, they need not fear the slight increase of the annual subscription. Mr. Horne, of Aberdeen, writes I am very sorry that you intend to revert to the old plan of publishing the Record monthly. I would petition in favour of a continued fortnightly publication. My entomological education has mostly been received from the pages of the Record, and it cannot appear too often for me. I fully believe that others could say the same, although they might not care to openly admit it. We are, of course, in our subscribers' hands. Our own services and those of Mr. Page, are absolutely gratuitous.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the resting habits of insects, particularly as exhibited in the phenomena of hibernation and aestivation. The author argues that while factors such as cold and heat may trigger these phenomena, they are not necessarily the direct causes, and that other stimuli and internal forces within the organism play a significant role. Drawing on examples from the insect world, including butterflies and moths, the author examines the complex relationship between environmental factors and the physiological adaptations of insects, shedding light on the remarkable strategies they have evolved to survive in diverse climates. Ultimately, this book deepens our understanding of the intricate interplay between insects and their environment, revealing the hidden wonders of the natural world.
