"The Tasmanian Naturalist." — We welcome the first number 

 of a new contemporary, and congratulate the Tasmanian Field 

 Naturalists' Club on the interesting character of the contents of 

 the first issue of its proceedings, ^fr. A. M. Lea, F.E.S., Govern- 

 ment Entomologist, deals with that remarkable group of insects 

 the Coccidfe ; the hon. secretary, Mr. E. A. Elliott, gives a 

 graphic description of the opening of the Swan-shooting season, 

 and expresses the opinion that the Swan is more in danger of 

 extinction from the quantity of eggs taken yearly than from the 

 number of birds shot ; while Mrs. Roberts gives her experiences 

 in breeding and rearing Bronze-wing Pigeons in an aviary. 



The Fruit Fly. — Owing to the urgent necessity for every 

 fruit-grower being made acquainted with the appearance of this 

 new pest, the exhaustive illustrated article on the subject by Mr. 

 C. French, F.L.S., Government Entomologist, which appeared in 

 the Victorian Journal oj Agriculture for May, has been reprinted, 

 and issued as a separate bulletin. All interested are advised to 

 apply to the Secretary for Agriculture, Melbourne, for a copy, 

 and so be prepared to attack this new foe on the first oppor- 

 tunity.
