84 THE entomologist's becord. 



Lameere bases this addition, has been in the Brussels Museum for 

 some years. It was captured at Laeken by Camille Van Volxem, and 

 has been regarded as StenobothruH parcdlelus, Zett., var. exiMcatus, 

 Selys {vide, Ent. Bee, 1899, vol. xi., pp. 244-5). 



Mr. Tutt would be pleased if every reader of the Ent. Becord would 

 kindly send on any information at his or her disposal about the following 

 species : Endromis versicolor, Saturnia j^aronia, Poecilocampa populi, 

 TricMura cratcwgi, Malacosoma castrensis, M. nenstria, Eriofiaster lanestris, 

 Epicnaptera ilicifolia, Eutricha quercifolia, Cosmostriche potatoria, 

 Macrothylacia ruhi, Lasiocampa qiiercas, and L. trifolii. The facts 

 might be enumerated under headings — (1) Localities (with counties). 

 (2) Dates of capture (in any stage). (3) Food-plants. (4) Habits of 

 larva and imago. (5) Habitat. (6) Eggs. (7) Larva. (8) Pupa. If 

 put in tabulated form and not included in a letter it would be of great 

 advantage. Those correspondents who have already sent lists, &c., 

 would greatly oblige by adding the data for 1898 and 1899 to their 

 earlier communications. All information will be duly credited in the 

 work to be published to the sender. 



The Council of the City of London Entomological and Natural 

 History Society having decided that the publication expenses of the 

 Transactions for 1899 shall be met by special donations as in the 

 previous year, it was resolved at the ordinary meeting of January 16th 

 last: — (1) That a special "Publication Fund" be started forthwith. 

 (2) That the secretaries be requested to write to all members that the 

 society have decided to publish their Transactions by a voluntary sub- 

 scription. (3) That the president be instructed to appoint a publication 

 committee composed of subscribers, such committee to have full powers 

 in every respect. All entomologists who wish the Transactions for 

 1899 to be published and are willing to assist in defraying the cost 

 are, therefore, requested to kindly communicate, at an early date, with 

 the treasurer, Mr. C. Nicholson, 202, Evering-road, N.E. Many 

 generous donations have already been promised, and it is hoped that a 

 larger volume may be issued than that of 1898. 



Our readers will be pleased to hear that Mr. Burr is collecting the 

 material for a detailed account of the British (including the Channel 

 Islands) Orthoptera. He is in want of material — as to localities, habits, 

 dates of emergence, &c. — from everywhere. He hopes to start the 

 work definitely next autumn, to illustrate it, and to give much space 

 to general questions. Information should be sent to Mr. M. Burr, 

 Dormans Park, East Grinstead. 



Many of the subscribers to The Natural History of the British 

 Lepidoptera, having written about the publication of Vol. II. in parts, 

 Mr. Tutt desires to state that Part 1 will only be sent to those sub- 

 scribers who have prepaid their subscription and expressly stated that 

 they require it in parts. As the parts will be bound in paper, a cover ; 

 to match Vol. I. will be sent to such with Part 2, price 9d. New sub- 

 scribers to the work are offered, until Vol. 11. is published, the chance 

 of subscribing for Vols. I. and II. at 30s. Copies of Vol. I alone can 

 still be obtained at £1 net. 



Ebkata. — Vol. xi., p. 333, line 9, from top, "Lieutenant" should read "Assist-

 p. 55, line 10 from bottom, for " 1899 " read " 1889.— H.D.
