also attack lepidopterous larvse, largely those of the Tortricioa and 

 Tineina. The Bassides, owing to their penchant for larvffi of Syr- 

 phidse which draw their sustenance from Aphidte, may be regarded 

 as injurious insects. The Tryphonides destroy sawfiies, and for this 

 reason, considered from an economic point of view, are useful mem- 

 bers of the insect world.

The current "Transactions" of the Norfolk Society is a little 

 disappointing entomologically, and contains but a single note on the 

 occurrence at Carrow of the latest indigenous specimen of Xylophasia 

 zollikoferi, under a large electric lamp. Five British examples are 

 known from Deal to Yorks, and the species has a wide distribution 

 from Germany to Central Asia, though always taken singly. We 

 shall hope to find Rev. E. N. Bloomfield's important Catalogue of the 

 Norfolk and Suffolk Diptera in next year's account of this thriving 

 Society. The Ipswich Field Club is beginning to assert itself, early 

 for so young an institution, and prints in its current Journal a capital 

 list of Lepidoptera, taken in its vicinity by the Rev. A. P. Waller, B.A., 

 who has, however, confined himself to the eastern side of the town, 

 especially about Waldringfield, of which he is Rector. The most 

 interesting note is anent Leucania favicolor, which he anticipates 

 will be found nothing but a local form of L. 



Wb much regret that we have to postpone publication of the 

 biographical notice of the late Mr. S. J. Capper until next issue.
