REVIEWS. 



List of the Macro-Lepidoptera of East Sussex. Lewes, 1886. 

 By and of J. H. A. Jenner, F.E.S. 



The compiler is to be congratulated upon the locality of his 

 researches, for no portion of the British Isles offers a more 

 excellent opportunity for the study of the Lepidoptera of our 

 country. The varied configuration of the county under consi- 

 deration may be gathered from a sentence in the introduction, 

 with which Mr. Jenner prefaces his list, viz., " Its downs, 

 marshes, extensive woods and forests, and its sea coast." It is 

 much to be regretted that Mr. Jenner has not seen his way to 

 extend his record to the Micro-Lepidoptera of South-east 

 Sussex in the one publication. We must, however, hope that a 

 list of the Micros will shortly follow. 



Mr. Jenner has very properly divided his district by its 

 catchment basins, five in number. They are named as follows : — 

 Adur (part of), Ouse, Cuckmere, East Bother, and Medway. 

 The following is a list of species in different groups taken 

 therein: — Rhopalocera, 55; Sphinges, 30; Bombj'ces, 91; 

 Noctuse, 234; Geometrfe, 217 — Total, 627, as against a possible 

 818 as given in the 'Entomologist' list of Macro-Lepidoptera. 

 He adds also seven casual or accidental species which have been 

 recorded from his division. 



In his preface, Mr. Jenner apologises for the limited extent 

 to which the district has been worked by entomologists. Consi-
