THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 21 



the opportunity of proving, through the kindness of Mr. 

 Yaughan, that C. unidentaria comes true from the egg. —

Messrs. J. E. Wheatley & Co., of Huddersfield, have 

 issued the first number of a new periodical,' The Naturalist.' 

 It contains 16 pages 8vo, and is charged Threepence. There 

 is but little Entomology in this first number, but we may 

 hope for more. Mr. James Varley has captured or bred 

 eleven very familiar Lepidoptera : Mr. G. R. Parke took 

 several specimens of Eupithecia nanata on the 21st of April. 

 This number is chiefly devoted to Introductory Addresses 

 and Botany. 



Mr. Ker, of Liverpool, has issued Nos. 13 and 14 of the 

 * Naturalist's Scrap-Book.' Each contains 16 8vo pp. litho- 

 graphed. In Nq. 13 there are but two papers on Ento- 

 mology — the occurrence of Sesia Tipuliformis in a kitchen 

 on the 19th of June, 1862, recorded by Mr. Edward Gleave ; 

 and "Entomology for Beginners, or what may be done in 

 April," by Mr. C. S. Gregson : this Number devotes a large 

 space (6 pages) to an Introductory Address. No. 14 con- 

 tains an interesting paper by Mr. Harrison, on Geophilus 

 electricus, which I shall reprint ; it shows that the numerous 

 records we have had of the luminous properties of Carabidae 

 and Staphilinidee may reasonably be traced to the fact of 

 these Coleoptera occasionally indulging in a phosphorescent 

 repast. 



'Young England' for May contains an interesting page 

 on Entomology, under the management of Messrs. T. Lovell 

 Keays and Howard Vaughan : the information is contained 

 chiefly under "Notices to Correspondents," and will scarcely 

 present any novelty ^to the readers of the ' Entomologist.' 

 They are in this way : — " There are three Kittens, all about 

 the same size ; viz., D. furcula, D. bifida and D. bicuspis. 

 The latter is very rare." " Large moths generally lay larger 

 eggs than smaller ones, but of course there are exceptions." 

 I shall probably find more novelty another month.
