248 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Surrey, while the latter was taken in the same year, and, Mr. Williams 

 thinks, on the same day. It is generally supposed that these species 

 are both migrants to Britain, and there appears to have been in 

 1911 a considerable flight of the former to our islands. — W. J. Lucas ;

Colias edusa and Pyrameis atalanta in Surrey. — On June 

 15th, at Eanmore, I took a male Colias edusa, a fine large specimen 

 in good condition. My friend Mr. B. S. Williams took a very worn 

 and, as it laid no ova, apparently spent female. Two others were 

 also seen. On June 12th a Pyrameis atalanta was seen in the garden 

 at Dulwich. — F. H. Stallman ; " Braemar," 58, Thurlow Park Boad,

Ch^rocampa elpenor, ab. — I have to-day had an " elephant 

 hawk-moth" hatch out, which I think is rather interesting. The left 

 side is quite normal but for two white spots on the costal margin 

 of the fore wing towards the apex. The right fore wing is a much 

 paler olive-green than the left, and the pinkish suffusions are replaced 

 by pale lilac, and there is partly a third band of this colour across 

 the base of the wing. The pink markings on the right side of the 

 thorax are partly replaced by the same shade of lilac. The hind 

 wings are quite normal. — Arthur Minton ; 9, Park Boad, Bexhill, 

 June 15th, 1913.

1. Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology . Series T. M. 

 Vol. vii. No. 1. March 31st, 1913. Liverpool. — This part contains 

 a lengthy, well-illustrated article on " Contributions to the Study of 

 Colour Marking and other Variable Characters of Anophelinae, with 

 Special Beference to the Systematic and Phylogenetic Grouping of 

 Species," by Major S. B. Christophers. Besides this the references 

 to entomology are of a most general nature in connection with 



disease-carrying Diptera. 



2. We have from E. Leitz (18, Bloomsbury Square) a copy of an 

 illustrated pamphlet (38 pp.) — Guide to Photomicrography — primarily 

 prepared for users of apparatus made by this firm. Anyone interested 

 in this subject should obtain a copy. Another pamphlet of a similar 

 character is Directions for the Use of the Large Metallurgical Micro- 

 scope xvith the Camera. 



3. Bevieio of Applied Entomology (Series A, Agricultural, and 

 Series B, Medical and Veterinary), issued monthly by the Imperial 

 Bureau of Entomology (Dulau & Co., London), is intended to keep 

 its readers up to date by giving abstracts, &c, of publications con- 

 nected with these subjects.
