72 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



1. A^mals of Scottish Natural History, 1909. 



Though not mainly devoted to entomology, this well got-up 

 periodical contains the following papers and notes on insects : — 

 " Aquatic Coleoptera of the Solway District," a rather lengthy paper 

 by F. Balfom- Browne ; " Coleoptera from Moles' Nests in the South- 

 east of Scotland," by T. Hudson Beare and W. Evans; "On Some 

 Scottish Diptera — Stratiomyidoe to Asilidae," by A- E. J. Carter and 

 J. Waterston ; "Notes on Lepidoptera in the North-east Highlands," 

 by D. Jackson; '' Hystricho])sylla talpce in Forth and Tweed," by 

 W. Evans; "Nemotelus uliginosus in Forth," by W. Evans; "On 

 Some Scottish Siphonaptera. — II.," by J. Waterston; " CryptocepJia- 

 lus aureolus in Strathspey," by E. C. Maitland-Dougall ; "Two New 

 British Diptera," by P. H. Grimshaw.

J. B. Smith, Sc.D. (New Jersey, Agr. Exper. Stations, Bull. 216). 



Nov. 24, 1908. 

 This is our familiar mosquito {Citlex pipiens), which, though often 

 common and troublesome enough out of doors, seldom becomes with 

 us a household nuisance. Those who are waging war against the 

 house fly should examine this well-illustrated paper, although of 

 course the life-history of the mosquito is very different from that 

 of the house-fly.
