Bridge in 1913. The species has not previously been recorded for Scotland, but 

 there was every reason to expect its occurrence there, as its few known British 

 localities are all in the north of England, and on similar grovind to what 

 pn-tains largelj^ in the Highland districts. It is widely distributed on the 

 Continent as an Alpine or sub-Alpine species, but has always been regarded as 

 very local in Britain. Indeed, the only locality in which it can be relied on, is 

 a wild moorland wood ten miles from Sheffield, where in a large open marshy 

 place, it is abundant. A few specimens have been taken in different years at 

 Dunford Bridge,West Yorks, and a single one at Hi^ddersfield. - Geo. T. Porritt,

Mutilla eiiropaea i/i Dorsetshire, etc. (corrections). — Mr. R. Butterfield 

 writes to say he regrets that, owing to a misixnderstanding, he recorded the 

 Mutilla europaea, exhibited at the meeting of the Entomological Section of the 

 Yorkshire Naturalists' Union (Ent. Mo. Mag., February, 1915, p. 46) as from 

 Perthshire, whereas the specimens were taken by Dr. Haines in Dorsetshire. 



Mr. Lofthouse also writes, referring to the same report (p. 44), that the 

 locality for Argyresthia atmoriella shotild be Kildale and, not Redcar ; and that 

 Tinea fulvimitrella, at Ingleby, etc., should read Adela rujimitrella. — Geo. T. 

 Porritt, Huddersfield : March, 1915. 



Entomology in Denmark.— The recently published parts of the " Entomo- 

 logiske Meddelelser" contain articles of more than usual interest, several of 

 which are written in English. The Danish Society is a small one, and would 

 welcome English Entomologists as members. The annual subscription is 5/- 

 including the cost of postage of the parts as issued, samples of which would be 

 sent on application to C. Engelhart, Villa Cis, Callisensvej, 40, Hellerup,

"Insects and Man: An account of the more important. Harmful and 

 Beneficial Insects, their Habits and Life-History ; being an Introduction 

 to Economic Entomology for Students and General Readers." By C. A. 

 Ealand, M.A., late Principal of the East Anglian College of Agriculture. 

 Grant Richards, VAj- net 



This book is written in a popular style throughout, and is evidently intended 

 primarily for the general reading public, but it should also be very acceptable 

 to those Entomologists who, while engaged in one special line of study, find it 

 difficult to keep themselves informed of the general advance of the many-sided 

 science of Economic Entomology. Insects and Man aims at covering the whole 

 field of the relationships between man and insects, and deals with the enemies 

 of plants and live stock, insects and human disease, beneficial and household 

 insects, and hiunan parasites. With such an extended scope, it would, of course, 

 be impossible to give in a single volume detailed information concerning every
