plant, mining in the leaves of this were larvee of Chrysopora stipella. I 
meant to bring some of these larvee away in the hopes of rearing the 
more yellow typical form of the imago. However, some years ago I 
found these larve on the same plant at Bournemouth, but reared from 
them only the var. naeviferella. From mines gathered off maple, at 
Lustleigh, two Lythocolletis sylvella were reared. Searching tree trunks 
proved a failure, but doubtless many species of moths might have been 
obtained from the hedges with the aid of the net and the beating stick.

GXYURRENT NOTES AND SHORT NOTICKS. 
We regret to announce the death of Roland Trimen, F.R.S., of 
South African entomological fame, and an ex-president of the Entomo- 
logical Society of London. Pressure on our space has prevented a full 
obituary this month, but it will appear in the October number. 
Mr. 8. G. Whittle has been taking an extended trip to the New 
World, and in the May Entomologist gives a short account and list of 
his captures in the Argentine and Canada. 
Entomology seems to be re-asserting itself in some of the magazines 
of general natural history. The Scottish Naturalist for June contains 
the following articles: (1) ‘‘ Lepidoptera and other Insects at Scottish 
Lighthouses in 1915,” by Mr. W. Evans. (2) The conclusion of 
“Diptera Scotica,” by Mr. P. H. Grimshaw. (8) “ Hibernation of Flies,” 
by Major $8. K. Gaskell. (4) “On the Occurrence of Stenomalus 
muscarum in company with Hibernating Flies,” by the Rey. J. 
Waterston. 
Tn the Irish Nat. for May is an article on the Lepidoptera taken at 
Killarney in 1913 and 1915, by L. H. Bonaparte-Wyse. Leptosia 
stnapis, Adscita statices, and Coenonympha tiphon were among the 
captures. §. Greer reports a specimen of Laphygma ewigua taken in 
1904 at ragwort on the shores of Lough Neagh. 
In the Hnt. Mo. Mag. for June, Mr. D. Sharp describes another 
species of Helophorini as new to science in the species H. phalleterus, 
from specimens taken at Brockenhurst in March, 1915. It is very 
close to H. aeneipennis, from which it is clearly distinguishable by the 
eedeagus. In the same number Mr. J. W. H. Harrison contributes an 
article, ‘‘ The Geographical Distribution of Dimorpha versicolora, and 
what it suggests.” 
In the Entom. News for June appears an instalment of a long 
article, which if well thought out should be a most important contribu- 
tion to entomological science. ‘*‘ The Lines of Descent of the Lower 
Pterygotan Insects, with Notes on the Relationships of other Forms,” 
by G. C. Crampton, of the Entomological Laboratory of the Massa- 
chusetts Agricultural College. Probably when our colleague, Dr. 
Burr, is at liberty to deal with this subject and consult his own MS., 
he will send us his opinion and criticism. 
The annual address to the Entomological Society of America, by 
Dr. C. Gordon Hewitt is an interesting ‘“‘ Review of applied entomology 
in the British Empire,” its object being to show how needful it is to 
have co-ordination with other countries. Dr. Hewitt refers to the 
widespread character of the Empire and the diversity of conditions 
therein, and he thinks that such being the case ‘‘international co-
