THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 155 



cceridca, vzx.territa, Ckll., Entom., 1898, p. 89, is perhaps a distinct 

 species; in the description, line 15 from top of page, tinge is mis- 

 printed "fringe." A. nigrocceru/ea, from the same region, has the 

 tubercle concavely truncate, one might say slightly emarginate, but 

 it is otherwise different from ccerulea. 



Andrena subtilis, Smith, 1879. 



" Tubercle A ; abdomen tessellated, hardly punctured ; area smooth, 



not ridged laterally." Vancouver I. I do not know this species. 



Andrena Candida, Smith, 1879. 



" Abdomen dull green, scarcely punctured ; area with rugosities 



slight, no ridge ; labrum ? a little emarginate." Vancouver I.; 



Olympia, Wash., June 18, 1895 (Trevor Kincaid). In Mr. 



Kincaid's specimen the hair at apex of abdomen is blackish, but 



the species is doubtless the same. A. geranii, Rob., is closely 



allied. 



Andrena auricoma, Smith, 1879. 



" Can't see labrum; a pretty insect with fulvous upright pilosity 



on discs of segments and golden fasciae at the apices ; area 



granulose, not margined." Vancouver I. Unknown to me. 



BOOK NOTICE. 

 Report of Injurious Insects and Common Farm Pests during the year 



1900, with Methods of Prevention and Remedy. By Eleanor A. 



Ormerod, LL.D. London: Simpkin, Marshall & Co., 1901 (is. 6d.; 



pp. in). 



It is with deep regret that we learn from the preface of this her 

 twenty-fourth annual report that the talented authoress has decided that 

 it shall be the last. For almost a quarter of a century Miss Ormerod has 

 labored hard and well in the service of her country, without any remuner- 

 ation and with scanty recognition from the officials who should have been 

 the first to express their gratitude to her. But, on the other hand, she has 

 won for herself a high reputation in Great Britain, in America, in South 

 Africa and Australia, and also in several European countries. She 

 is known far and wide as a painstaking entomologist, a keen observer, a 

 diligent collector of facts and observations, a, thoroughly practical and 

 sensible adviser, and one who has been all through these years most 

 unselfish in placing her time and her work at the disposal of those who 

 needed them most — the farmers and gardeners of her native land.
