A list of British birds compiled by a committee of the British Ornitholo- 

 gists' Union {London: British Ornithologists' Union, 1915, 2. rev. ed., pp. 

 XXII-\-430). — This is the second revised edition of the British Ornithologists' 

 Union list, the first of which was published in 1883. Under each species are 

 given the common name, synonymy, distribution in the British Isles, and 

 general distribution. The appendixes include a list of species which have 

 been recorded as having been found in the British Islands, but on evidence 

 which the committee do not regard as entirely satisfactory; a list of names 

 which in the opinion of the committee should be retained, together with the 

 corresponding names under the Rules of Nomenclature as drawn up by the 

 International Congress of Zoology at their successive meetings ; and a discus- 

 sion of the reasons for the change of old names or for the nonadoption of 

 changes which have been advocated by recent authors, together with the method 

 of fixation of the types of the various genera used in the list. 



Birds of the Indian hills, D, Dewab {London and New York: John Lane,

 collectors. 



Agricultural entomology, H. Osborn {Philadelphia: Lea and Febiger, 1916,

Insect pests of Lima beans in St. Vincent, S. C. Habland {Agr. News 

 IBarbados], U {1915), Nos. 352, pp. S46, 347; 353, p. 363).— An undetermined 

 Cryptorhynchus borer; the bean leaf roller {Eudamus proteus), held in check 

 by parasites ; an undetermined leaf blotch miner ; and the larvae of an unde- 

 termined moth are said to be the most important enemies of Lima beans in 

 St. Vincent. 



Insect pests of the orchards and gardens of Idaho and their control, W. O. 

 Edmundson {IdaJw Sta. Bui. 87 {1916), pp. SO, figs. 12). — A popular descriptive

The locust borer (Cyllene robiniae) and other insect enemies of the black 

 locust, H. Gabman {Bien. Rpt. State Forester Ky., 2 {1915), pp. 32-63, pis. 

 21 ) . — The locust borer, an extended account of which by Hopkins has been pre- 

 viously noted (E. S. R., 18, p, 159), is said to occur throughout Kentucky, its 

 numbers being in proportion to the abundance of locust trees. Biological ob- 

 servations of this beetle and its natural enemies are reported. 



It is pointed out that since the adults are dependent on goldenrod pollen and 



are abundant only where it may be secured, the destruction of goldenrod in 



the vicinity of plantings or the spraying thereof with arsenate of lead about 



the middle of September are valuable means of lessening the injury. As a
