RECENT LITERATURE. 
The Entomological Magazine. Published by the Entomological 
Society of Japan. Vol. i, 1915. 
The appearance in Japan of a periodical devoted to the study of 
insects is an event of unusual interest, and we wish our contemporary 
a long and prosperous career. The magazine makes a direct appeal 
to entomologists in the British Empire and in the United States, 
inasmuch as a number of the papers are written in English or are 
accompanied by abstracts in English. Another paper is in German ; 
but otherwise the contents are in Japanese, and must, unfortunately, 
remain inaccessible to workers of other nationalities. In the interests 
of entomology in general, and of Japanese entomology in particular, 
it is greatly to be hoped that the practice of describing new species 
in English, which has here been adopted to so large an extent, will 
become a rule of the strictest application. The orders of insects to 
which additions are made are Lepidoptera, Trichoptera, Hymen- 
optera, Rhynchota, and Odonata. Apart from the papers embodying 
these novelties and others dealing with the same groups, there is a 
list of the Hemerobiide of Japan, enumerating twenty-seven species 
of that family of Planipennia. The volume consists of four parts 
and 170 pages. It is illustrated with four plates and several text- 
figures. The price of each part is 6d., and the annual subscription 
2s. post free. It is intimated that communications of all kinds 
should be addressed to Mr. Akio Nohira, Ichijoji, Otagi-gun, Kyoto, 
Japan. HG
