THE Eighth International Zoological Congress will be held in Graz, 

 Austria, August 15 to 20, and all persons interested in Zoology are 

 invited to become members of the Congress. The meetings will be 

 held in the great Stephaniensaal and there will be interesting excur- 

 sions to Erzberg and the Leopoldstein See. Trieste and possibly to the 

 Royal Castle of Miramar. Also special excursions to Dalmatia, Bosnia 

 and Herzegovina. 



WITH reference to Mr. Banks' note on the 'date of Guerin's ''Icono- 

 graphie du Regne Animal," the correct date of the text is 1844. In a 

 letter from Adam White dated London, January 9, 1845, and published 

 in the "Annals and Magazine of Natural History" XV. 1 19, he writes : 

 "I have seen, for the first time, the text to Guerin's admirable 'Icono- 

 graphie du Regne Animal' (a work which on the title-page bears the 

 date of 1829-38, although I see on the wrapper it was not finished till 

 1844, through some mistake of the printer [?]." It is therefore evident 

 that the text was actually published in 1844. The plates had been is- 

 sued some time previously and were cited by the contemporary writers.

A FULL size specimen of Tliysania ccnobia was taken at Louisiana. 

 Mo.. November 10, 1909. It was resting on a board, with its wings 

 flat against the surface, and from the appearance of the hind wings 

 was quite fresh ; but, unfortunately, the boy who brought it to me car- 

 ried it by the tip of one fore wing, and, in its struggles to escape, it 

 had ruined both wings. Isn't it unusual to take this moth so far 

 north? R. R. CROWLEY. 



NOTE on Dry<j)phthorus bituberculatus Fab. -As the above specir- i- 

 still retained in Prof. S. Henshaw's list of North American Coleoptora. 

 a note of correction may not be amiss. If I am rightly informed, 

 California has been given as its habitat. However, to the best of my 

 knowledge, it does not exist in any of our collections of North Amer- 

 ican Coleoptera and is not likely ever to occur within our faunal 

 limits. In a rather large series of Rhynchophora from New Zealand
