the size of the right, also a fine dark var. of Papilio inachaoti and one 

 paler than usual ; Mr. Croker, a specimen of Coremia ferrugata with 

 one antenna, $ , the other, ? , the specimen also exhibited some varia- 

 tion in the wing markings on opposite sides, also a dark Spilosoma 

 lubricipeda ; Mr. Turner, a killing tin made on the plan suggested by 

 Mr. Farren {Ent. Rec, vol. ii., p. 67). This attracted some attention. 

 Mr. H. Moore, the Orthopteron, Acrydium peregritium, which has 

 caused so much devastation in Algeria this year, and Acrydium tartari- 

 ciim, which did great damage in Cyprus, some 8 years ago. An account 

 of the excursion to Eynesford was then given by Messrs. Carrington 

 and Lewcock, from which it would appear that 17 species of Diurni, 

 8 BoMBVCES, 3 Nocture, 22 Geometry, 3 Crambid^, besides other 

 Lepidoptera were captured; also many good species of Coleoptera. — Ed.

A List of the Macro-Lepidoptera of Leicestershire with 

 Dates and Localities. By F. Bouskell and C. B. Headley. Pub- 

 lished by Geo. Gibbons and Co., 49, King Street, Leicester. Price 

 6d. Another county list to hand. This time that of the Macro- 

 lepidoptera of Leicestershire compiled by Messrs. F. Bouskell and C. 

 B. Headley. Of these local lists there is generally nothing but praise 

 to bestow, and this is no exception to the rule. Done from pure 

 love of the subject those responsible have executed their work well, and 

 there is only one regret, that they have not added notes to the most 

 interesting species. These local lists always call to mind the great 

 show that the South London Entomological Society made four years 

 ago for producing a fauna list of Kent and the adjacent counties. 

 With every opportunity of obtaining the fullest and most complete 

 information, and after spending as much money in preliminaries as 

 many a local list has cost to produce, there has been absolutely 

 nothing done, the committee seem to have died from sheer inanition, 

 and, unless the members strongly take the matter up, it would appear 

 that the council will let the idea collapse completely. One would 

 think that with such a comparatively large income, the general body of 

 members would insist on the production of some scientific work instead 

 of allowing the money to be frittered away on an Annual Report, 

 which, good enough in its way, if brought out to date, is highly ridicu- 

 lous when two to three years behind time. 



The Dover Pictorial just issued by Messrs. Goulden for the small 

 sum of sixpence contains no less than thirty photo-print views, with 

 information upon a variety of topics. Amongst others there is an 

 article on Entomology, with a list of lepidoptera. This, we notice, has 

 been revised by members of the Dover Field Club, and is something 

 more than a mere catalogue of names, as the latest dates of capture, 

 the localities, and distances from the Dover centre are given in all 

 the principal instances. Some of these comprise specimens unre- 

 corded in the entomological literature of the day, such as Sesi'a 

 andreniformis in 1889, 1890; Clostera anachoreta, 1888; and Phycis 

 obductella in 1S89. The list will, we think, be very useful to those 

 visiting the town. — Ed.
