 and other species interesting to British lepidopterists. " A revision of 

 the genus Corisa, Latr." and a " Revision of the Scandinavian Pseudo- 

 nenroptera," appear to be the very last work of that excellent ento- 

 mologist the late lamented Pastor Wallengren. Description of new 

 BoMBYCES by Prof. Aurivillius, and some important notes on " The 

 Insect Fauna of the Cameroons," by the same author, are of the greatest 

 interest. In connection with the latter paper we notice that a variety 

 of Ilypolimnas chapmani, Hew., is figured, as well as two new si)ecies ; 

 whilst a nixmber of hitherto unknown Nymphalid pupfe and larv;c are 

 also figured, the hairs and spines of some of the latter being marvels in 

 the way of structure. Scandinavia lost its share of well-known en- 

 tomologists in 1894: Jacob Spanberg, Knut Frederik Thedenius, Oskar 

 Theodor Sandahl, and H. D. J. Wallengren having died during the 

 year. Portraits of the three first-named are given, that of Pastor 

 Wallengren has yet to come. 



gOCIETIES. 



At the meeting of the Entomological Society of London on 

 Feb. 20th, 1895, Mr. W. M. Christy exhibited specimens of Lycaena 

 astrarche, caught in Sussex last summer, which had a white edging 

 round the black discoidal spot. He said the specimens might, 

 perhaps, be identical with the Northern form of the species known as 

 var. salmacifi. Mr. H. Goss exhibited a small collection of Lepidoptera 

 from the South of France, made by Mr. Frank Bromilow. Amongst 

 the species exhibited were the following : — Heterogynis penella, Hb. ; 

 Zygaena stoecJiadis, Bkh. ; Apamea testacea, Hb. ; Apamea duiiien'lii, 

 Dup. ; Luperina viatnra, Hufn. ; Grammesia Irigraiiimica, Hfn. ; Cara- 

 drina exigiia, Hb. ; Calophasia p)latypter(i, Esp. ; Eucrostis olympiaria, 

 H.S. ; Nemoria pidmentaria, Gn. ; Acidalia sabsericeata, Hw. var. iiKin- 

 cuniata, Knaggs ; A. fiilicata, Hb. ; A. ruhiginata, Hufn. ; .4. viargine- 

 punctata. Goze; A. imitaria, Hb. ; Boarinid connortaria var., F. ; Ematurga 

 atomaria, Ij. ; Aspilates ochrearia, Rossi ; Cidaria Jiuviata, Hb. ; C. 

 rtgnata, Hb. ; C. basochesiata, Dup. ; C. rivata, Hb. ; C. bilineata, L. ; 

 C. vitalbata, Hb. ; Enpithecia oblongata, Thnb. ; E. pumilata, Hb. var. 

 tempestivata, Z. ; Botys cherviesinalis, Gn. ; ryrausta osfrinalis, Hb. ; Botys 

 cespitalis, Schiff. and Adela auHtralis, U.S. [Some of these species 

 wei'e evidently incorrectly named by Mr. Bromilow, e.g., the insect called 

 consortaria var. was not that species, nor were the specimens named 

 ostriaalis that s})ecies. We believe there were other errors. — En.] 

 Professor Meldola invited discussion upon the address delivered by Mr. 

 Elwes on the Geographical Distribution of Butterflies at tlie last 

 Annual Meeting. He remarked that he had not himself had time to 

 consider the paper in an adequate manner, but he thought that the 

 discussion might lead to a useful exju-ession of opinion if the speakers 

 would deal with the (juestion as to how far the scheme of distribution 

 advocated by Mr. Elwes was borne out by a comi)arison with other 

 orders of insects. He was of o})inion that in considering schemes of 

 Geogi'a2)hical distribution, the results arrived at were likely to be of
