THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 367 



Habitat — Jordan Harbour and Saint Kits, Ontario, Canada. 



Received from Mr. Lawson Caesar, who bred it from a leai- 

 mining larva on blackberry. The species is named for the Rev. 

 C. J. S. Bethune. It is closely related to rubi, but readily separated 

 from that species by the more oblique and blunter saw-guides. 



BOOK REVIEW. 



The Natural History of the Farm. A Guide to the Practical 

 Study of the Sources of our Living in Wild Nature. By James 

 G. Needham, Professor of Limnology, General Biology and 

 Nature Study in Cornell University. Ithaca, N. Y. The 

 Comstock Publishing Company, 1913. SI. 50.

 marked by a freshness of viewpoint and a vigour of style entirely 

 his own. Its aim is to give to the student something of that

 the pioneer, that personal acquaintance with common wild things, 

 which was indispensible in the days when men were dependent 

 upon their own hands for obtaining a living from the wilderness.

 charm. The author's intimate first-hand knowledge of out-door 

 nature and his keen sympathy with all her moods, are reflected 

 throughout the book in such a way that the reader can scarcely 

 fail to feel some of the charm of the wildwood, if he is at all

 that sentimentality which is apt to result from an attempt to 

 record the charm of Nature in words. 



The course of studies outlined, is divided into three parts, 

 adapted respectively for the fall, spring and summer terms ol 

 the- college-year; each part including 10 exercises. The studies 

 cover a wide range of subjects and are all designed to bring the 

 student into close contact with nature in all seasons and all
