8th December 1837 Curtis to A.H.H. Dear Haliday, In my haste I forgot to enclose a volume which as you already possess it perhaps you will do me the favour to present it to your sister who obligingly drew the Rose; connected as this volume is with yourself it may I hope prove acceptable on that account. Fearing it may be too late for Baillieres parcel I remain in haste, yours most sincerely, J. Curtis.

Feb. 23rd Curtis to A.H.H. I really despair of ever sending you this sheet but I shall make an effort. I regret in publishing the genus Phytomyza it entirely escaped me that all your contributions were not contained in your first list and not finding any species there I have unfortunately not noticed it in my paper. I am happy to say that I have just finished putting your contributions into my cabinet and shall therefore have the full use of them and not overlook anything. I am now about to figure your Lissonota crenicornis it has no areolet but I find two or three others have not. Your Tryphon curtisii has a most remarkable character, the claws are pectinated. I thought at first it was a Tropistes. I regret exceedingly that I have pubd. the genus Microgaster as your russatus is a fine species, Microleptus splendidus is most valuable as it sets me right Drapetis will be pubd. on the 1st March. Tryphon and Xylota 1st April Melous and Scathophagus 1st May. ….. Mr. Dale says if you will send a Guide marked he will be most happy to transmit to you some new Haustellata. ….. I am delighted to hear that you have discovered the antennae of Pulexo I assure you I spent 3 days in examining and dissecting P.canis and could not discover them. ….. I looked at the Acad Caesar at the Linn. Soc. and Vol. 10 is unfortunately the first they had and that was published in 1821 three years after the volume you want to seen I have seen a proof of your paper in the forthcoming number of the Zool. Journ. and I see that there are a considerable number of species of Dolichopidae publd and described in a late number of the Isis a German paper which you ought to see.

Curtis to Haliday 25th April 1832,

….. We do not seem to understand each other as to the Cryptus aphidium of Fab. I either have misstated my opinion or forgotten the reasons I gave for thinking it of any other genus than Microgaster. I have looked and I think I doubted whether Linnaeus insect which is the same as Fabricius's be not a Microgaster as stated in my Guide - be good enough to give me your opinion. ….. I am sure any observations of yours will be highly valued by the men of science whom I have the pleasure of knowing. I hope therefore you will when you have leisure undertake the Conspectus of the Hymenoptera pupivora. I need scarcely add that you may command me as far as my time will allow and any materials I may have. ….. copied a wing of Ichneutes from Klugs Ber Mag No.7 ad 1825 ….. I have specimens which agree so well but I cannot doubt but I have the genus and send you my I major male which you may keep and also what I concieve to be the ? of I.. recusitor, if you have this last you can return it if you please but pray do not do so if you have it not. Give me your opinions of the two as I wish to figure the genus. Curtis to Haliday 28th April 1832 I am happy to hear that Mr. Templeton's insects arrived safe and I am much indebted to him for the offer of the Phalanus which I forgot, The net I will order and hope to be able to send you the pins herewith. I assure you it gives me great pleasure to illustrate those genera that you have investigated and saw so kind as to transmit to me and no-one can be more sensible than I am of the value of your communications and the handsome and liberal manner in which they are conveyed and it only vexes me that I cannot make so general a use of them as they deserve and I desire but I think all the Linnean and Fabrician genera must be established in my work, I must therefore not lose sight of my object and if the work were to put 500£ a year into my pocket I would not continue it beyond 4 more volumes: it is killing work Hoping to hear from you in the course of the summer and wishing you as much success and honor in your profession as you have gained in your amusements.

Dear Sir,As you have kindly invited me to name some of our desiderata in Coleoptera I have written down a list of some of theca being uncertain whether they are (generally) such as are easily obtained in France. I hope you had a good passage without delay and that you will have tranquil times in France until such time as you think of revisiting this country. I am [	] your very obedient faithful servant.A.H. Haliday 23,Harcourt Street, Dublin 8 Nov. 1868 :caesus or rotundatus,3 Cnemidatus 1 Microrrhagus or [Gerophytoma] or [Milasis],Lymexylon,2 Hylecaetus,[Mastigius], Pterbloma, Sphaerites, Leptinae,Sperrhaeus, Myodites, Mycterus, 2 Alticopius,[ ],[Phlaactrobus], Megagnathus, Cucujus, [Fbugrotophilal, C megetis,	Epilachna,Medobia, types or examples of any of these genera, Ptilinum, Clypeaster,apterum Guer,pusillus Dj.,testaceus, lividus Dj.,inquiltnum suturale,canaliculatum,excavatum,[                ]

Haliday and James Charles Dale (1792 - 6 February 1872) One of the foremost entomologists of his day and who died aged eighty having devoted most of his adult life to entomological pursuits.Dale was the son of wealthy landowners and received his education at Cambridge where he became MA in 1818. He was a friend of J.F. Stephens who makes numerous references to him in his Illustrations of British Entomology, 1828-1846, and of John Curtis who refers to him frequently in his British Entomology, 1824-1840. In the 'British Entomology' his name is on almost every page, and it was from his collections that Curtis derived a vast portion of the material from which his elaborate work was drawn up. The two worked hand in hand, and their names came to be considered as almost synonyms'. Dale's entomological interests extended to all orders.

I see Ellis has Curtis's book at a reduced price now and I fear C. has made a sorry affair of his speculation as I always feared he would, but he thought different then'.Dale to A.H. Haliday dated 6 February 1833. Though I ought to beware until I finish my thrips, Ceraphion , Diprea and Cynips, of an order so attractive as Diptera I confess I have yielded to the temptation of ordering Zetterstedt. (Haliday to Dale 10th July 1846)

TRANSCRIPTION OF LETTERS FROM J. CURTIS TO A.  H.  HALIDAY 1830-1835 — ODDMENTS R. NASH 1986

2nd December 1837 It has for several years been my wish to pay you the only public testimony in my power of my regard by dedicating a volumne of my work to you. The many and essential services you have rendered that work during its progress would entitle you to such a compliment were you only a correspondent and the numerous proofs I had of your kindness and friend-ship make me only regret that it will not be better with your acceptance. I assure you one of the greatest pleasures in the progress of my great undertaking has ~een the associating my name with those whom I esteem and who like myself fare devote to the study of our branch of Natural History I may have only two more opportunities of thus gratifying myself and I shall be truly happy if they afford me the same unmixed pleasures as the present one does…..

8th December 1837 Curtis to A.H.H.

Dear Haliday, In my haste I forgot to enclose a volume which as you already possess it perhaps you will do me the favour to present it to your sister who obligingly drew the Rose; connected as this volume is with yourself it may I hope prove acceptable on that account.

RESL LETTER LIST Box 1

1–90 Correspondence with Dr. Hermann Loew, in Meseritz, Prussia, 1847–1869 (In English and German) 37 Letter from Haliday, Monte Benelli, Lucca, 21 June 1862

‘Wollaston has declined my challenge to him to bivouac on the Sardinian mountains this Autumn – He sticks fast by his Canarian collections & books for the present; and by his Atlantic islands, when he roams. Still it is not impossible I may compass an autumn encampment there, above the zone of malaria; though I have no intention of going alone. Sicily is too lawless & sanguinary, at present, to invite a peaceful Entomologist–but the Sardinians though addicted to blood feuds are hospitable & honest as things go; though I should scarcely do, as one may (according to Wollaston) in the Canaries & Madeira, sleep in an open tent with your purse for pillow, without a fear of molestation & with no snakes either.’ Box 2

1–62 Letters from Francis Walker at 49 Bedford Square, London, Brighton, Arno’s Grove and Grove Cottage, Southgate, 1834–1845

35 Letter: Arno’s Grove, 14 December 1840:

‘I attended the last meeting of the Ent. Society. Schomburgh (who is about to start again for S. America) was there, & a communication from him was read on the flights of emigrating butterflies sometimes seen in S. America, he calculated that upwards of fifty thousand million past him on one day, they all pursued the same course over the tree tops, & when they came to a stream they invariably descended to its surface & rose again having crossed it. Their caterpillars mixed with cassavas or turtle’s eggs form part of the food of the natives. It was said also that in some parts of N. Holland after the rainy season immense herds of caterpillars appear & destroy all vegetation before them, they also are the food of the natives of two birds, a hawk & an ibis. This was observed by Gould who has lately returned from N. Holl. & has brought with him some new Kangaroos & many new birds, & has just commenced publishing figures & descriptions of them.’

61 Letter. J C. Dale, Newton Montacute alias Glanville Wootton, 5  November 1841:

?Being our Court day I take the opportunity of beginning a letter to you whilst the Steward is about other matters.... Before I proceed with Enty. however I will mention that the place where I am now writing was the property of the famous Duke of Marlboro & the Pond in front of the House has never been filled since it was let down on his departure till now,–this Pond I hope may produce me a few good pond aquatics as it comes from the old pond in front of the House I reside at, this only being occupied by the Tenant–I am going to make a Willow Bed at the upper end of the Pond so as to increase the chance of sport & in other improvements I keep Enty. in view... I have just named and dispatched a small Box to (Mr. Little) wh. he sent for that purpose a week ago–I have now 3 or 4 I want to send off but find difficulty for want of Day-light as I can only devote an hour or two for that purpose & in the evening the candle light wont suit my eyes for small objects–I am now relaxing & near setting & arranging my small Hymenoptera wh. were never in tolerable order before & the insight your names have given me has been of great assistance … The Breakfast is now on the Table & as soon as that is over I start for Sherborne so therefore I conclude rather hastily

Yours (respectfully) J: C: Dale’
