140 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



This year, Mr. Lowe revisited the same locality, occupying the time 

 between the 6th and 30th of June in exploring that district, with the view 

 of securing further specimens of marcellus. In this respect his zealous 

 and praiseworthy efforts have not been crowned with success ; not a 

 single marcellus was seen during the whole period ; probably the chry- 

 salids had perished in consequence of the severity of the past winter. 

 Several Papilio thoas were seen, but none taken. 



Among his captures we observed two handsome examples of Limenitis 

 Ursula ; also, fine specimens of Papilio troilus and asterias, Eudamus 

 tityrus, Neo)iympha eurytris, Hesp, oileus, Alypia Langto7iii, Spilosoma 

 collar is Fitch (said to be a variety of Euchetes egle), Baptria albovittatta 

 and several other species which we were unable to determine. There 

 were also several handsome Diptera and Hymenoptera. 



Among the Coleoptera was a female specimen of Phanaeus caruifex f 

 captured near Windsor, an insect, so far as we know, never before taken 

 in Canada ; also, good examples of the following species : Trichius 

 bidens, Desmocerus palliatus, Clytus speciosus, sEdilus obsoletus, Cetotiia 

 fulgida, Cot alp a lanigera, Necrophorus Americanus, Callandra pert ma x t 

 several handsome Curculios new to us, besides a number of other species 

 less noteworthy. 



BOOK NOTICES. 



Field and Forest. — We have received the first two numbers of this 

 new periodical, devoted to general Natural History, to which we tender a 

 cordial welcome. It is an eight-paged monthly, uniform in size with our 

 own journal, in every respect well got up, and containing many things to 

 interest the Entomologist, the Botanist and general Naturalist. It is 

 edited by our esteemed friend, Chas. R. Dodge, of the Agricultural 

 Department, Washington. While this serial is to be devoted to Natural 

 History in general, it will also be the Bulletin of the Potomac-side 

 Naturalists' Club of the District of Columbia. Under the control of such 

 an energetic and pains-taking man as we know the editor to be, we doubt 

 not but that this journal will prosper, and be the means of furthering the 

 interest of many departments of natural science. We sincerely wish it 

 long life, and commend it to our readers. It is published at one dollar 

 per annum; address — Editor "Field and Forest," P. O. Box 273,
