110 THE entomologist's RECORD. 



nata, Girsch., taken at Tarrington, August 1st, 1902, and K.truncata, 

 Zett., taken at Avieniore and Glenmore, Inverness, between May 19th 

 and July 5th, 1904, and others from Golspie, Sutherland, and Porth- 

 cawl, Glamorgan — to the British list. He also confirms, as British, 

 E. inteniieilia, Ztt., from specimens taken at Porthcawl, between May 

 12th and July 1st, 1903.. All the examples were captured by Colonel 

 Yerbury. 



An excellent further contribution to the fauna of the Balkans has 

 been published by Dr. H. Rebel (published by Alfred Holder, 1, Roten- 

 turmstrasse, 13, Vienna), with two first-class plates — the one on Colias 

 myriiiidone and its aberrations being particularly beautiful. All our 

 British collectors of European butterflies must of necessity get Dr. 

 Rebel's papers. 



Mr. Morice adds three sawflies to the British list, Famjiliilius yyl- 

 Icnhali, Dahlb., from Colchester, Awauronematus, nioricei, Konow, from 

 Doddington, in Kent, and Lijc/aeoneinatHs paedibas, Konow, from Hunt- 

 ingfield, also in Kent. 



Mr. Champion adds MalacMus spinosns, Er., to the list of British 

 coleoptera, from specimens taken at Sheerness, June 6th, 1869, in 

 company with M. rirhlis. 



The Eiitomolo(/ist's Directory, recently published by W. Junk (22, 

 Rathenower-Strasse, N.W. Berlin), is by far the best book of its kind 

 ever offered to the entomological public. In the first part, the ento- 

 mologists of every country, in every continent, are _separately dealt 

 with, and the number of names and addresses thus brought together 

 is enormous, and, considering its extent, the errors are remarkably few. 

 We notice the names of a few deceased entomologists, and a few occur 

 twice, at old and new addresses, possibly taken from out-of-date lists, 

 but it is astonishing, however, how few there are. The second part 

 consists of a classified list of entomological books on sale in every 

 branch of entomology. It is an excellent 5s. worth, and one that no 

 doubt will have an enormous circulation, as it fills a great want. 



Mr. W. Neuberger, of Berlin, sends us a detailed exchange list 

 (28 pp.) of the Palsearctic Macrolepidoptera, with varieties, etc., 

 arranged after Staudinger and Rebel's Catalogue. It can also be used 

 as a label list, the names being printed on one side of the paper only. 

 It can be obtained for 2s. from the author, 45 Luisen-Ufer, Berlin S. 

 42. 



On the evening of March 11th, Mr. A. Sich invited a few entomo- 

 logical friends, members of the South London Entomological Society, 

 to dine with him at the National Liberal Club. Politics and 

 evening dress were barred. A most pleasant evening was spent, 

 and, after dinner, many entomological subjects were informally dis- 

 cussed. Among the friends present were Messrs. R. Adkin, F. N. 

 Clark, S. Edwards, A. Harrison, H. Main, R. South, E. Step, H. J. 

 Turner, and J. W. Tutt. 



It is with the greatest regret that we announce the death of Dr. 

 Alphaeus T. Packard, on February 14th last, at the age of 67 years. 

 He was one of the giants of early American lepidopterology, and when 

 the history of progress of that science in America, in its early and 

 more difficult days, comes to be written, few names will bear a more 

 honoured position than that of the enthusiastic and learned entomolo- 

 gist for whose loss we now grieve.
