 specially for subscribers. 



In answer to a large number of other enquiries, we are prepared to 

 issue the volume as vol. viii of The Natural History of British. Lepi- 

 doptera, as one of the regular series of that work, to those subscribers 

 (and those only) whose names are on our own private subscription list 

 for the latter work, at the usual subscription price for each volume 

 of tbis work. The volume is published to the trade at purely net 

 prices. The volume is called vol. viii because, circumstances permit- 

 ting, it is intended later to publish (1) the completion of " The Aluci- 

 tides" as vol vi, and (2) an account of the more generalised super- 

 families of the Hepialo-Papilionid stirps as vol. vii. This will lead up 

 naturally to the butterflies on that stirps. 



We have received from Mr. C. Head some samples of excellent 

 lantern-slides, relating to Protective Resemblance. To those lecturing 

 on the subject they will prove most valuable ; we have already put 

 them to the test of practical experience in this direction. 



Eggs of Thecla pruni are very badly wanted for our new volume of 

 British Butterflies. Bad luck at hatching time last year lost us all 

 chance of getting a complete account of the early larval stages. Can 

 anyone help ?

Another of the successful series of meetings of the Entomological 

 Club was held in the Entomological Salon of the Holborn Restaurant 

 on January 22nd, when Mr. G. H. Verrall was the host. A preliminary 

 informal reception and meeting took place between 6 p.m. and 8.30 p.m., 

 supper being served at the latter hour. A large number of well-known 

 entomologists were invited, but, owing to several causes, ;i few of the 

 regular visitors were unavoidably prevented from attending. The 

 company, however, fell little short of a hundred, but that "little" was 

 evidently a matter of regret to the genial host, who had evidently 

 set his heart on a record meeting. Among the members and friends
