fourteen to length, and so arranged that whether the egg be looked at 

 from any position (but especially the upper or flat side), they appear 

 to form concentric ovals which are less marked centrally (Described 

 under hand lens, July 30th, 1899, from eggs laid same day at 

 Simplon). — J. W. Tutt. 



Late laev^ op Ceruea furcula. — It may be of interest to state 

 that at the end of last September I took four very small larvtT3 of this 

 species on sallow. These I sleeved on some sallow growing in the 

 garden. One of the larvfe died on October 22nd, after feeding up 

 fairly well, and another on November 4th. The third I found on 

 November 11th spun up, and the remaining larva, which I removed 

 into the house on the last mentioned date as it appeared to have 

 suffered somewhat from the effect of the frosts on the two previous 

 nights, fed until November 18th, when, although apparently 

 immature as regards size, it spun up, finishing its pupation on 

 November 20th. — A, Eussell, F.E.S., Southend, near Catford.

Fauna Eegni Hungaeiae. — III., Arthropoda, Orthoptera, pp. 1-47, 

 and one map. Budapest, 1899. — This is a continuation of the mono- 

 graph of the fauna of Hungary, which celebrates the thousandth 

 anniversary of the establishment of the kingdom. The Orthoptera, 

 semu stricto, are by Julius Pungur. The literature quoted consists 

 of a list of 122 papers, mainly in Magyar. The census of species is as 

 follows : — Forjicidaria, 7 species ; Blattodea, 11 ; MantorJea, 3 ; P/ias- 

 viatodca, 2 ; Acridiodea, 59 ; Locustodea, 76 ; and (Trijllodea, 15 ; 

 making a grand total of 173 species. We notice that Pungur retains 

 Apteri/f/ida albipcnnis, Meg., in the genus Clielidura, from which it 

 must undoubtedly be removed, and also that he does not follow 

 Scudder in restoring Podisma for Pezotetti.v. The most interesting 

 species included is Bacillus redtenhacheri, Pad., a rare form, hitherto 

 only known from Zengg, in Croatia. The Thysanoptera are worked 

 out by -Joseph Jablonowski, who records 37 species. Of Apteryr/oyonea, 

 by Emeric Vellay, there are 70, and of Psendo-Neuroptera, by Alex- 

 ander Mocsary, there are 148, distributed as follows : — Termitidae, 1 ; 

 Psocidae, 21 ; Perlidae, 25 ; Epliemeridac, 42 ; Libellulidae, 22 ; Aes- 

 chnidae, 15 ; Ar/rionidae, 22. The true Neiiroptem are treated by the 

 same author, and 244 species are included in the list. — M. B. 



British lepidoptera. — I am very glad to see the sympathetic note 

 written by Mr. W. J. Kaye, upon the second volume of British 

 Lepidoptera (antea, pp. 286-288). I, for ono, should be very sorry to 

 see the local lists cut down. — J. C. Moberly, M.A., F.E.S., Wood- 

 lands, Bassett, Southampton. Nore)iiber 20th, 1900.
