NOTES 



Among the papers being published as reports of the Barbados 

 Antigua Expedition of the Iowa State University* there have appeared 

 two on insects which will be of interest to Entomologists. The first is 

 a paper by Professor Dayton Stoner, on the Scutelleroidea, pages 3 to 17, 

 with three plates. Seventeen species are listed with careful notes on 

 distribution and ecology, and while most of the species are common 

 to the West Indian regions, these records give valuable data as to the 

 local distribution. The report on the Orthoptera and Dermaptera, 

 pages 19 to 44, by Mr. A. N. Caudell, includes detailed records for a num- 

 ber of interesting species, the distribution of which has been much 

 extended, and also descriptions of four new species. 



The report of the proceedings of the 4th Entomological Meeting at 

 Pusa, February 7th to 12th, 1921, edited by Bainbridge Fletcher, 

 Imperial Entomologist, like the preceding reports for 1918, 1919 and 

 1920, contains a wealth of material on the Entomological work in 

 India. The papers on Pink Boll Worm, by E. Ballard, and the one on 

 Winter Spraying against the Mango Hopper and also the article on 

 the use of Bichloride of Mercury, in the Destruction of Mosquito 

 Larvce, by Mr. Sen, will be of particular interest to American Entomol- 

 ogists, the first on account of the present fight against the dispersal of 

 the species in our cotton states — the latter two as related to control 



measures for leaf hoppers and mosquitoes.
