RECENT LITERATURE. 93 
biological papers on Lepidoptera, while B. W. Adkin, and the Presi- 
dent (5S. Edwards) in his address, treated of the economic side of 
insect life. EF. W. Torrington catered for the botanists in a lecture 
on ‘ British Fern Varieties,’ while F. W. Frohawk did the like for 
ornithologists in his paper on “ Migration of Birds.” The “ Abstract 
of Proceedings” (in places requiring a little more care in editing) 
contains a mass of useful information, which all naturalists would do 
well to consult. Wade Ls

THouGH not a bulky volume—45 pp.—this issue shows clearly 
that interesting and useful work is being done to elucidate the 
natural history of the district, which the members have mapped out 
for themselves. Such active practical work testifies to the vitality of 
the Society. Judging by this volume the work falls under four 
heads: Entomology, Botany, Ornithology and Archeology. 
Perhaps it is a little disappointing that the entomologists seem to 
have confined their attention almost entirely to two directions only— 
Lepidoptera, and galls and other cases of parasitism, though, of 
course, the latter is one of the most important branches of ento- 
mology. The volume appears to be carefully edited.
