278 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S RECORD. 
a good library. He says, “A Synonymical Catalogue of all known 
American Lepidoptera was prepared by H. G. Dyar and a staff of 
specialists, known as Bulletin 52 of the U.S. National Museum, but 
this wonderful work was treated, as are most of the Government publica- 
tions, sent to an army of legislators who cared nothing for them, and 
within a few months, out of print for the entomological students to 
whom the volume is of priceless value.” The bulk of the article 
contains remarks on the books that are probably needed by a student 
of the American insect fauna. 
The Irish Nat. for October contains an account of the Lepidoptera 
from Hast Tyrone in 1916. Melitaea aurinia was common, Zygaena 
lonicerae was less common but many cocoons were found torn open and 
the contents gone, 7%. filipendulae wasnot so attacked the cocoons being 
placed low down, and it was common, Dyschorista suspecta, which has 
not been found in Ireland for many years, was met with in August, 
Agrotis vestigialis was new to the district, etc. There is also a series 
of Entomological Notes from South Donegal, where M. aurinia oecurred 
in the larval stage.
