RECENT LITERATURE. 



Report of Work of the Experiment Station of the Hawaiian Sugar 

 Planters' Association. Bulletin No. 1. Parts i.-iv. Leaf- 

 Hoppers and their Natural Enemies. By R. C. L. Perkins. 

 Honolulu, 1905. 

 Part i. of this important Bulletin comprises pp 1-69, and deals 

 with species of the Dryinidse, which are parasitic upon particular 

 groups of Homopterous Ehynchota. Part ii. (pp. 70-85) treats of the 

 Epipyropidae, a family of Lepidoptera which the author considers 

 most nearly related to Fumea and Taleporia of the Tineidae and to the 

 Psychidffi of the Psychina. The larvas of species referred to this 

 family are parasitic on Homoptera. In part iii. (pp. 86-111, plates 

 i.-iv.) the Stylopidse (Coleoptera) and in part iv. (pp. 112-157, plates 

 v.-vii.) the Pipunculidas (Diptera) are considered. 



OBITUARY. 



With great regret we have to announce that Mr. Norman Dalziel 

 Warne died on August 25th last, after a short illness. He was born 

 in 1868, and was educated at Charterhouse. Subsequently he went 

 into the well-known publishing business at Chandos House, Bedford 

 Street, of which his father, Mr. Frederick Warne, was the head. On 

 the retirement of the latter in 1895, Mr. N. D. Warne, together with 

 two elder brothers, became partners in the firm. As a student of 

 natural history he was perhaps more especially attached to the 

 Lepidoptera, and most of his somewhat limited leisure was devoted to 

 active work in the field. He was elected a member of the South 

 London Entomological and Natural History Society in 1888, and 

 although he was not able to attend the meetings, during the past two 

 years or so, as frequently as he wished, he always took a keen interest 

 in the welfare of the Society, and was a generous contributor to its 

 library. He was also a member of the Quekett Microscopical Club.
