A new species of Aleurodes L — Pale golden -yellow ; antennae and legs paler, 

 infuscatcd beneath ; eyes oval, black, almost divided in the middle ; tip only of the 

 rostrum blaek ; wings clear milk-white, without any spot. 



To-day I found these iiiSeets in great abundance on brambles, in one of the old 

 pits on Biuckheath. At first I thought I had obtained A. rubi, Sign. (Ann. Soc. 

 Ent. Franco, 4e Ser., viii, p. 382, 186S), but it cannot be that species, which is 

 " yellow, spotted with brown-black, the elytra with one black spot. Head wide, 

 large, almost entirely black ; 2nd and 3rd joints of the rostrum black, the 3rd black 

 above, yellow beneath. Antennre brownish. Eyes reddish-brown, much divided. 

 Thorax and breast more or less black. Legs, except at the joints, black. Abdomen 

 yellow, the last segment black beneath," &c. It is far more in agreement with A. 

 carpini, Koch ; that species, however, has hitherto been believed to be special to 

 the hornbeam. The present, form, I believe, is distinct ; I name it provisionally A. 

 rubicola. TJie larva, in autumn, should afford good characters. — J. W. Douglas,

The New Forest: projected spoliation. — In "The Times" of to-day, June 

 12th, is advertised for letting on building lease by H. M. Commissioner of Woods, 

 the freehold enclosure, Coxleaze Plantation, containing 33 acres, and also the freehold 

 enclosure, Ironshill Park, containing 44 acres, both near Lyndhurst. Can nothing 

 be done to prevent this continued diminution of the forest land ? The Entomolo- 

 gical Society formerly did yeoman's service in preventing encroachment on a larger 

 scale ; can they do nothing now ? — C. A. Beiggs, 55, Lincoln's Inn Fields : June 

 I2th, 1891. 



The Butterflies of North America ; 3rd series, part xi : by W. II. 

 Edwards, Boston : Houghton, Mifflin, & Co. ; London : Kegan Paul, Trench, 

 Triibner, & Co. 1891. 



This Part refers to only three species, but of each of these the life-history is 

 worked out and figured in an exhaustive manner. The first is Apatura Flora, Edw., 

 from the Southern States, the plate for which contains nearly thirty figures. This 

 is followed by Satyrus Meadii, Edw., from Colorado and the neiglibouring mount- 

 ainous States, with about twenty figures. Lastly, Chionobas Chri/xus, Dbdy. and 

 Westw., and its var. Calais, Scud., from the Rocky Mountains and British N. 

 America, from Newfoundland to the Pacific, with nearly thirty-five figures. Each 

 species is traced ab ovo, and the Chionobas is especially interesting, owing to the 

 habits of the species of the genus, and their difficulty to rear from the egg. Alto- 

 gether this is a capital Part from a biological point of view.

Robert Oillo, of Bath, who has recently died, was well known as a Colcopterist 

 in the west of England, and was very successful as a collector ; on a specimen which 

 lie captured near Bath, a new Amara (nitida, Sturm) was introduced into our lists ; 

 he used also to take several good insects in considerable numbers, among them, 

 Copris lunaris and Onthophagus ovatus, and he was always very liberal in distri- 

 buting them to his friends ; it is to be hoped that some other Colcopterist in the 

 district will be found to carry on his work, as the locality seems to have been but 

 little worked, and to be capable of producing many good insects.
