BIBLIOGRAPHY. 223 



Mr. Eustace R. Bankes describes the larva of Eupacilia pallidana, 

 which was first found feeding in seed-heads of Jasione montaTia some 

 few years ago. He also records {E.M.M.) Acrolepia marcidella and 

 Ephestia pinguis, from the Isle of Purbeck. 



Major-General Garden captured seventeen specimens of Calliniorpha 

 hera in the neighbourhood of Teignmouth in five days, in August last. 



Mr. E. W. Janson died at Stroud Ore n on September 14th, aged 69. 

 He joined the Entomological Society of London in 1843, was Curator 

 from 1 85 5- 1 863 and Librarian from 1 863-1 874. He did a great deal 

 of good work as a Coleopterist. 



The Rev. G. H. Raynor's collection is to be sold on October 27th, 

 at Stevens' sale rooms. The beautiful condition of the specimens in 

 this collection is sure to attract a number to the sale rooms. 



This has been a great year for rarities, among the Nocture especially. 

 Nonagria concolor has been taken by Mr. Mera, in Suffolk. 



Our dipterists would appear to be in a very unhappy condition. 

 Five determinations made by Dr. Meade and three by Mr. Brunetti, for 

 Mr. Billups resulted in a mass of error, published in the Entomologist 

 for September, and corrected by Mr. Verrall in the October number of 

 the same magazine. 



The pine-feeding Tortrix steineriana var. dohr7iiana {vide Ent. Rec, 

 i., p. 32) has been added to the British list as Tortrix donelana. 



The City of London Entomological Society have papers, etc. for 

 each meeting during the winter, unt 1 the end of April, 1892. 



The further contributions of Mr. Butler's " Notes on the Synonymy 

 of Noctuid Moths," which have from time to time appeared in the 

 Transactions of the Entovi. Soc. of London, have been refused by the 

 Council. Had they been overlooked by a competent practical specialist 

 they would have been most useful, and the break in their continuity 

 would have been much more serious than it is. 



M. Camilla Schaufuss, editor of the Insekten-Borse, Meissen, Saxony, 

 has asked me to bring the following before the notice of the readers of 

 the Entomologisfs Record: — "All entomologists, who have been or are 

 still doing literary work in the Science, and those who have made any 

 specially interesting excursions as well as those who now possess 

 important collections, are kindly requested to send photos, notes of 

 their lives, etc. ; biographies and photos of deceased colleagues would 

 be very welcome. It is intended ultimately to present them to the 

 entomological departments of the various museums in the world."
