 capture this, the bug, which was then about sideways to him, 

 squirted some Huid into his right eye, the somewhat considerable 

 pain lasting about half an hour. He also writes : "When irritated, 

 it quivers its antennae rapidly, emits a most powerful odour [from 

 the thorax], and squeaks plaintively."

NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 



Emergence of Drepana binaria (Platypteryx tramula) extending 

 OVER Three Months. — In June of last year I obtained ova of P. hamula 

 from a captured female, and succeeded in rearing seven larvse to the 

 pupal stage. From these pupae two males emerged on Aug. 1st and 

 4th ; four more emerged on Nov. 9th, 14th and 26th, and Dec. 19th. 

 The pupse have been kept in an open box out of doors, I shall be 

 glad to know if this prolonged emeigence is unusual, and if any of 

 your readers have had a similar experience. — Leonard A. Spencer; 

 52, Burghley Road, Highgate Road, N.W., Jan. 5th, 1901. 



The Stridulation of Corixa. — I received, by the kindness of the 

 author, a copy of Anton Handlirsch's " Zur Kenntniss der Stridula- 

 tionsorgane bei den Rhynchoten " (1900, Annalen Naturh. Hofmus.
