CHESTER AND NATURAL SCIENCE. 



We should like to congratulate the Chester Society of 

 Natural^Science, Literature and Art, which was founded by 

 Charles Kingsley in 1871, on attaining its jubilee, and on the 

 publication of its valuable ' Fiftieth Report and Proceedings,' 

 {48 pp). This Report contains statistics, etc., indicating 

 the Society's many activities, as well as useful reports of the 

 year's work in various branches of science, literature and art.

which has just appeared, together with the inscription under- 

 neath, with or without which we defy anyone to identify the 

 specimen. 



LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE ENTOMOLOGISTS. 



The energetic Lancashire and Cheshire Entomological 

 Society, whose work we have frequently alluded to in these 

 columns, has issued its Forty-second, Forty-third and Forty- 

 fourth Annual Reports in one cover.* Besides the full records 

 of the three years' meetings, the Reports contain Coleoptera, 

 1917, by J. R. le B. Tomlin ; Notes from Cartmel Fell 

 (Presidential Address), by R, Wilding ; Lepidoptera, 1919,
