This highly respected Journal was first published in October, 1840 and continued for two years. It subsequently merged with 'The Zoologist'. Due to the increase in the number of entomological articles ‘The Entomologist’ was re-established as a separate journal in 1864, and continued for 110 years, ceasing publication in 1973 with volume 106. It was briefly resurrected 15 years later with vols. 107-116 (1988-1997)
