stercorarius, L.,” by Constant Sano (pp. 25-28 and plate v); ‘* British

Barrett, F.E.S. (pp. 55-61 and plate xii); ‘‘The Autumn Butterflies 
at Iastbourne and some other Notes,” by Robert Adkin, F.&.5. 
(pp. 62-67). 
The figures on plate iv are from drawings by the author of the 
paper which they illustrate. Those on plate v are from photographs 
by Mr. H. Main. Mr. Lucas photographed nearly all the insects 
discussed in his papers, and these camera pictures and some draw- 
ings are reproduced on plates iii and vi. The species of Melanargia 
shown on plate xii were photographed by Mr. G. T. Turner. 
Four other plates (viii-xi) reproduce photographs by Mr. F. N. 
Clark, illustrating Dr. Chapman’s remarks on LEveres argiades, 
printed on pp. 75-77 of the ‘ Abstract of Proceedings.’ 
In addition to the wealth of illustration just referred to, there 
are two beautiful plates in colour, on one of which (ii) are five figures 
of the larva of Hveres argiades, and on the other (i) six figures 
representing aberrations of European butterflies. 
A comprehensive Index, extending to 12 pages, facilitates 
reference to the contents generally, or to any particular subject or 
special object in which one may be interested. R 
The Invertebrate Fauna of Nottinghamshire. By J. W. Carr, M.A. 
Pp. i-viii, 1-618. Nottingham: J. & H. Bell, Ltd. 1916. 
The number of animals listed in this volume reaches 5330, a very 
respectable total. The majority belong to the Hexapoda, close upon 
4800 species being mentioned in this class, which is divided into 
three sub-classes as under :— 
Aprrryaora.—Thysanura (4 species) ; Collembola (29 species). 
ExopTEryGota.—Dermaptera (2 species) ; Orthoptera (20 species) ; 
Plecoptera (13 species); Psocoptera (18 species); Hphemeroptera 
(11 species); Odonata (14 species); Thysanoptera (2 species) ; 
Femiptera (410 species). 
ENnpopreryGora.—Neuroptera (32 species) ; Mecaptera (3 species); 
Trichoptera (65 species); Lepidoptera (933 species); Coleoptera 
(1409 species); Diptera (921 species) ; Siphonaptera (17 species) ; 
Hymenoptera (892 species). 
Notes on locality and dates accompany each entry, and there is 
an Index of Genera. 
We can heartily congratulate Professor Carr on the successful 
completion of a very laborious task. Possibly there are still many 
species of the Insecta still awaiting detection in the county, and 
these will no doubt be brought to light in due course. 
It is exceedingly convenient to have the whole of the insect 
fauna of a county presented for study and reference as in the 
volume under notice. Perhaps we may hope that in the not remote 
future more fauna lists of the same comprehensive character may be 
produced. R.- 8.
