met with by myself in this neighbourhood since 1896. — Percy 

 Richards ; 11, Queen's Road, Kingston Hill. 



County Corrections. — There are two records in the August 

 ' Entomologist ' from Bournemouth, neither of .which are geographi- 

 cally correct, viz. Hyloicus liinastri, by Mr. Reynolds, at Branksome 

 Park, Bournemouth, and Deilephila eupJiorhia, by Mr. W. G. Hooker, 

 at Canford Cliffs, Bournemouth. Bournemouth is in Hants, whilst 

 Branksome Park and Canfoid CHffs are both in Poole, and geographi- 

 cally in Dorset ; the capture of the D. euphorhice having taken place 

 at least one and a half miles inside the Dorset border. — W. Parkin- 

 son Curtis ; Aysgarth, Poole, August 12th, 1908. 



RECENT LITERATURE. 



Transactions of the City of London Entomological and Natural His- 

 tory Society for the year 1907. Published by the Society at the 

 London Institution, Finsbury Circus, E.C. 



As we have noted in previous years when referring to this publi- 

 cation, the items appearing under !' Reports of Meetings " (pp. 4-12) 

 are interesting and instructive. The papers comprised in the volume, 

 four in number, will be found most helpful to all who are in any way 

 studying the subjects upon which they respectively treat. " The 

 Variation of Entephria ccesiata" (pp. 21-32), by Mr. Prout, is ex- 

 ceedingly valuable. Dr. Hodgson, in " Notes on A. bellargus, with 

 references to Allied Species " (pp. 42-47), presents some interesting 

 statistics. " Notes on the Wainscots " (pp. 32-40), by Mr. Edelsten, 

 deals chiefly with the life-history of some of the fen species in the 

 group. Accompanying Mr. Cockayne's " Notes from North Suther- 

 land " (pp. 33-39) is a plate of photos of some varieties of moths he 

 obtained in that remote corner of Scotland. In the Presidential 

 Address, Mr. Mera remarks, among other matters, upon the varying 

 effect of cold and dull weather on Lepidoptera reared in confinement. 



The Senses of Insects. By Auguste Forel. Translated by Macleod 

 Yearsley, F.R.C.S. Pp. i-xvi and 1-324. With two Plates. 

 London : Methuen & Co. 

 Those who have been unable to acquire or to study Forel's ad- 

 mirable work in the original will be grateful to the translator and 

 publisher for the opportunity of adding this inexpensive and handy 

 volume to their library. The subject-matter, originally published 

 in five parts, at intervals of time, is here arranged in twelve chapters, 

 in the eleventh of which is included experiments made by Dr. 

 Forel on memory of time and association of memories in Bees 

 (' Comptes rendus de I'Association Fran9aise pour I'avancement des 

 Sciences ; Congr6s de Lyon,' 1906).
