is thrust in. In both spp., the larva enters the stem and feeds downwards, hibernating 

 towards the base of the stem; in spring it feeds low down among the basal shoots, en- 

 tering several plants betöre it is full-fed; when about to pupate, it leaves the plant, 

 enters the earth, and spins a streng cocoon. Coelinius gracilis Hai. is mentioned as a 

 parasite of T. concolor. H. Scott (Cambridge).

This paper contains descriptions of and notes on Gelechia gossijpieUa Saunders, 

 Fyroderces simplex Wals., and P. rileyi Wals. G. gossypiella attacks the seeds in the 

 boll, and hence does immense damage to the cotton. It ia uncertain wbat damage, if 

 any, is occasioned by the two Pyroderces. H. Scott (Cambridge).

The writer observed the changes in colour in the egg from the time of oviposition 

 "to that of hatching. The egg is domed, with flattened and finely-reticulate micropyle. 

 It has 7-9 longitudinal white keels, the Spaces between them being transversely ribbed. 

 The ground- colour is pure yellow-ochre at oviposition; apricot-yellow after 24 hours; 

 dull ochreous-butf by the 5"" day; later the colour deepens, and finally before hatching 

 is pale ochreous, the black head and dark hairs of the larva ehowing through and 

 causing the egg to appear purplish. The egg resembles that of V. antiopa much more 

 closely thau that of V. urticae. H. Scott (Cambridge).

This report on the material collected by the Percy Sladen Trust Exp. enu- 

 merates 55 species (9 new to science) from the Seychelles, Chagos, Amirantes, 

 and Aldabra Islands. The Introductory sections (pp. 216 — 220, 239 — 243) pre- 

 sent the following conclusions regarding the general nature of the fauna: (I) it 

 is very f ragmentary , many groups and genera being represented; (II) that of 

 the Seychelles is very different from that of Aldabra; (III) the Seychelles fauna 

 consists of an endemic portion found only in the endemic mountain-forests, and
