Notes and Comments. 403 
together in the same trap, which was set in the neighbourhood 
of many similar pots, there is also the curious fact that the 
recapture was on their old ground at Easington, where they 
had been brought from nine months previously. 
NOMENCLATURE AGAIN. 
In Lhe Entomologist’s Record for November, Mr. L. J. 
Lambillion points out that there are now no fewer than three 
names for the dwarf aberration of Pieris napt. viz., napella, 
given by himself ; minor, given by Crombrugghe, and minima, 
named by Muschamp. Here is another instance of the un- 
necessary labelling of varieties. The first name was apparently 
given in 1902, the second, by another worker in the same vear, 
and the third, this year. 
THE MONEY COWRY. 
In the Ivish Naturalist for October Mr. R. Welch draws 
attention to the fact that in the first half of the nineteenth 
century, Belfast naturalists frequently had specimens of the 
Money Cowry (Cypraea moneta) sent to them from Bangor, 
County Down, which were supposed to have been from an old 
slave ship wrecked in the vicinity. Some years ago this shell 
was abundant on the Cumberland coast near the mouth of 
the Calder. These came from the ‘ Glendowre,’ wrecked near 
Seacale in 1873, which had sixty tons of cowries on board ; 
“which would amount to seventy million shells in all, so that 
even now, and for many years to come, there is a chance of this 
shell being found almost anywhere on the north-west coast 
of England.’ It would be interesting to know where the shell 
really does turn up.

Vol. XXIII., No. 5, of The Entomoligist's Record is a special ‘ James 
William Tutt Memorial number, and is entirely devoted to notices of the 
journal’s late editor, by many of his friends. The price of this special 
issue is half-a-crown. 
The Bradford Scientific Journal still appears, if a little late. The last 
number we received (for July) has a paper on ‘ The Pre-historic Remains 
in the Shipley Glen,’ by Mr. Butler Wood; ‘A World Below Stones,’ by 
Mr. W. P. Winter; ‘ Memories of the Month,’ by Mr. A. Badland; ‘ The 
Common Lizard,’ by Mr. J. A. Butterfield ; and ‘ The late John Beddoe,’ 
by Dr. J. H. Rowe. 
Since the preceding was in type we have received the October number 
of this journal. In it Mr. F. Booth describes the molluscan fauna of 
Shipley Glen; Mr. H. B. Booth has some interesting notes on the nesting 
of three common birds, (and corrects some misprints); Mr. A. E. Benney 
writes on ‘The Yellow Clay’; and Mr. E. P. Butterfield gives a list of the 
“Micros ’ of the district.
