90 THE KNTOMOLOGISt's KECORD. 



On Thursday, April 22nd, the South London Entomological and 

 Natural History Society will hold its usual spring exhibition devoted 

 to objects of all orders other than Lepidoptera. Friends and visitors are 

 cordially invited to bring exhibits. This somewhat recent innovation 

 has, on the two previous occasions on which it has been held, been a 

 marked success, and must be a gratification to the Hon. Curator, Mr. 

 W. West of Greenwich, at whose suggestion it was first held. The 

 exhibition will be held at the Society's Rooms, Hibernia Chambers, 

 adjoining London Bridge, South, and will commence at eight o'clock. 



We are preparing a Bibliography of books and articles in maga- 

 zines in which the sexual apparatus of the Lepidoptera are discussed, 

 figured, or form an integral part of the subject dealt with, and should 

 be pleased to have our attention called to anything published previous 

 to the classical contributions of Buchanan White and P. H. Gosse, in 

 1876 and 1882 respectively.

The Societe lepidopterologique de Geneve is one of the most virile 

 of the smaller societies of the Continent. The annual Bulletin issued 

 by the Society is more than a return for the small subscription paid by 

 the members. The matter contained in its pages is of the highest 

 order, and to say that the plates, at least four in each issue, are the 

 work of M. Culot, is to say that they are as nearly perfection as is pos- 

 sible. A notice recently to hand says that the Officers and Council for 

 the ensuing year are as follows : — President, M. J. JuUien ; Vice- 

 president, Dr. J. L. Reverdin ; Treasurer, M. H. Gallay ; Secretaries, 

 MM. M. Rehfous and J. Mongenet; Council, M.M. J. Culot, Ch. 

 Blachier, and Dr. A. Pictet. Members pay a subscription of 12 francs, 

 while those who live outside the canton (foreign members) pay only 

 8 francs. We can strongly urge our readers to belong to this society, 

 the address of the Treasurer is Pinchat, Geneva, Switzerland. 



We wish to again remind our readers that Mr. F. N. Pierce and the 

 Rev. C. W. Metcalfe are working hard at the genitalia of the British 

 Tortrices, and would be glad of any material which can be spared. A 

 single preparation of a species is quite insufficient, as with the small
