178 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S RECORD. 
The Entomological News for April contains some apt remarks on 
“How many Languages must an Entomologist know ?” suggested by 
the receipt of several recent and important contributions to entomo- 
logical science in the little-known and difficult-to-acquire languages, of 
which Russian and Japanese may be instanced. H. B. Weiss has a 
faunistic paper, ‘Additions to the Insects of New Jersey.’’ Two capital 
plates illustrate a new species of Odonata from Rio Janeiro, described 
by E. B. Williamson. Also an article with a plate describing a recently 
pajented net of complicated structure calculated to minimise the chance 
of mutilation and damage, by H. B. Weiss. 
We understand that Mr. Cyril Page, the son of our colleague Mr. 
Herbert Page, who was gazetted as Ynd Lieutenant in the 154th 
Battery of the Royal Garrison Artillery (Hants) in October last has 
just been transferred to the 180th Heavy Battery at Woolwich and is 
now “somewhere” in France. 
The Canadian Hntomolouist for April contains, (1) under the title 
“The Five Thousand Dollar Butterfly,’ an amusing summary of the 
myths of value which have been popularly attached to some of what 
Scudder has poetically called “ Frail Children of the Air,” by R. P. 
Dow; (2) Annette F. Brawn continues to describe new species of 
Micro-lepidoptera, giving rather more details of relationship than is 
usual in many descriptions from the trans-Atlantic area; (8) Articles 
on various groups of Diptera, Homoptera, Chalvididae, Caddis-flies, 
etc., complete the number. 
Our colleague Mr. Tomlin has sent us a local trade advertisement, 
which has come to him, entitled ‘Moths,’ in which admirable 
coloured representations of Arctia caja, Abraxas sylvata, Miltochrista 
mintata, and Selenia bilunaria are given. Needless to say, they are not 
“moths,”’ the domestic bane, suggested by the letterpress so laudatory 
of the trader’s emporium and methods. 
To the Mnt. Mo. Mag. for April and May Mr. W. E. Sharp con- 
tributes a series of ‘‘ Notes on the Coleoptera of Crowthorne, Berks.” 
Recently the Jrish Naturalist has had much more space than usual 
devoted to Kntomology. In the April number Mr. T. Greer gives an 
account of the “ Lepidoptera from County Tyrone,” an annotated list 
which will no doubt be of much use to visitors and students of the 
Macro-lepidoptera; the Rev. W. F. Johnson publishes Notes on the 
‘* Hymenoptera-aculeata in the Counties of Armagh and Donegal”; 
and Mr. H. Bonaparte-Wyse, ‘‘New Beetle Records for County 
Waterford.” 
The Naturalist (Yorkshire) is publishing some most valuable con- 
tributions to the knowledge of ‘‘ other orders.” The April number 
contains ‘The Terrestrial Isopoda (Woodlice) of Yorkshire,” by Mr. 
I’. Rhodes, and ‘‘ The Harvestmen and Pseudoscorpions of Yorkshire,” 
by Mr. Wm. Falconer. 
In the Hntomologist for Apuil Mr. H. Rowland-Brown commences a 
paper on the “Spring and Autumn Butterflies of Cannes and the 
Neighbourhood”; Mr. J. W. H. Harrison lists a long series of primary 
and secondary hybrids, ete., in the Bistoninae, supplementary to those 
which he has previously announced. A further series of new Lepi- 
dopterous species are described from Formosa by Mr. A. C. Wileman ; 
and Mr. Claud Morley continues his comprehensive notes on the 
Braconidae. 
Two new aberrations of British Lepidoptera ave described and
