Several papers and notes on British collecting in 1910, a paper on the Simplon 

 district, Reports on Society Meetings, etc., etc., are unavoidably held over. 



In the March number there will be a plate of several varieties of Luperina gueneei. 



The April number will probably be a special " Tutt " number, containing a portrait, 

 an obituary, contributions from various well-known entomologists "As I knew him." 

 Criticisms of his work from Continental as well as British writers. Items of interest, 

 excerpts from various notices, etc., and a complete bibliography of his writings. 



Rambles in Alpine Valleys. 



Bound in Cloth, with Map and Photographs of District. 

 Price 3s. Gd. 

 This book contains a series of essays dealing with the colours of insects, and sugges- 

 tions as to the relation in past time between the Alpine and British fauna. Many new 

 facts are brought forward, and entomological problems discussed from various standpoints. 



Melanism and Melanochroism in British Lepidoptera 



(Demy 8vo., bound in Cloth. Price 5/-.) 

 Deals exhaustively with all the views brought forward by scientists to account for the 

 forms of melanism and melanochroism ; contains full data respecting the distribution of 

 melanic forms in Britain, and theories to account for their origin ; the special value of 

 "natural selection," "environment," "heredity," "disease," "temperature," &c., in 

 particular cases. Lord Walsingham, in his Presidential address to the Fellows of the 

 Entomological Society of London, says, "An especially interesting line of enquiry as con- 

 nected with the use and value of colour in insects is that which has been followed up in 

 Mr. Tutt's series of papers on ' Melanism and Melanochroism.' " 



Woodside, Burnside, Hillside and Marsh. 



(Crown 8vo., Illustrated, 224 pp. and 103 woodcuts and full-page illustrations. Bound 



in Cloth. (Price 2/6). 



Another series of collecting expeditions into well-known entomological and natural 

 history localities, with description of botanical, geological, ornithological as well as 

 entomological matters of interest to be found therein. The places dealt with include 

 Cobham Woods, Cuxton Downs, the Western Highlands, Clilfe— all well known for their 

 rich entomological fauna.
