98 THE ENTOMOLOGIST'S RECORD. 



Lepidoptera of Poynzpass, Ireland, during 1920, by the Eev. W. T. 

 Johnson. It is noted that Pararge aegeria was the first butterfly to 

 appear, on April 24th, and the last to disappear. It seemed always 

 turning up even in drizzling rain and the writer was struck with its 

 hardiness. This is exceptionally interesting as the species appears to 

 be disappearing from so many of its English localities. The year was 

 not a good one for Lepidoptera on the whole as it was so wet with 

 practically no summer. Still Pyrameis atalanta put in an appearance 

 in September. 



The Can. Ent. is now edited by Dr. Jas. McDunnough, of the 

 Dominion Entomological Branch, Ontario, who is well known for his 

 <l Contributions to the Natural History of the Lepidoptera of North 

 America " and the " Check List of the Lepidoptera of Boreal America." 

 Dr. E. M. Walker has been editor since 1910, when he succeeded the 

 Bev. C. J. L. Bethune, by whom the magazine was started in 1869.
