2o6 Field Note. 



Morley, and the Re\ . F. D. Maurice, the results were : two 

 species new to ^'orkshire from Mr. Ha) ford, one species new to 

 the British Isles from Mr. Wattam, three ichneumons and one 

 ant new to Yorkshire from Mr. Roebuck, and two new saw-fiies 

 from Mr. Porritt. Lepidopterists can materially assist by sub- 

 mitting- the ichneumons they rear to Mr. Claude Morley, partly 

 to assist Mr. Morley in his Monographic Papers, and partly to 

 help the Yorkshire List. 



NATURAL HISTORY AS A BUSINESS. 

 We recently referred in these columns to a new mag^azine. 

 The Naturalists' Ouartcrly Review, which we sug-g^ested was 

 apparently published for the benefitof two individuals — the editor, 

 Mr. Davis, a dealer in natural history requisites ; and Mr. 

 Westell, who gives ' popular extempore lectures,' and writes 

 books. Part II. of this ' Review' has appeared, and confirms 

 our former supposition. In this, the first article is on ' Forming^ 

 a Collection,' by Mr. Davis (6 pp.). Mr. Westell follows with 

 'Some Birds of Spring' (4 pp.). Mr. Davis next gives 

 ' Localities for Lepidoptera around London ' ; and Mr. Westell 

 follows with 'The Country Lovers' Library.' From this last it 

 is obvious that if one is writing a book, and wishes to have it 

 said that 'no library is complete without it,' or that it is 'sure 

 to receive a cordial reception,' or that 'no student can possibly 

 afford to be without it ' — send it to Mr. Westell ! We notice 

 that articles on ' g^ood collecting localities ' are asked tor, and 

 one such article appears in the present issue, in which even a 

 detailed plan is given, showing the collecting ground of a rare 

 species, where the author and a friend ' netted three dozen 

 apiece.' W'e suggested a title for the new magazine in our 

 previous notice. This suggestion has not been acted upon ! 

 May we make another try — •' The Collector's and Exterminator's 

 Review ' is certainly more appropriate.
