Second brood of Abraxas grossulariata. — I was very much 

 surprised on December 16tb, 1918, to find a larva of A. f/rossidariata 

 spinning up under a coping at Margate. 



I know that second broods are not uncommon on the West Coast, 

 but it is the first time I have come across this on the East Coast. The 

 larva pupated the same day, and the pupa still looks healthy. — ■

(i^URRENT NOTES AND SHORT NOTICES. 



The volume to be issued by the Ray Society for the present year 

 will be a " Monograph of the British Orthoptera," by Mr. W. J. Lucas, 

 B.A., F.E.S. No doubt all those interested in our British Fauna will 

 send their subscription, one guinea, to the Treasurer of the Society so 

 that by membership they may possess a copy. It will be remembered 

 that some years ago Mr. Lucas dealt with our British Dragonflies in a 

 masterly work upon them, the volume being well illustrated with 

 coloured plates and by his own photographs and drawings. 



I was greatly pleased the other day to receive a card from the 

 Hon. Sec. of Societe entomologique de Namuroise to say that the 

 Society had been re-established and to ask for correspondence. Since 

 then a copy of the first number of the Reinie Mensuelle has come to 

 hand, the first which has appeared for 53 months since the fateful 

 July, 1914. Among the contributors to its pages we welcome the well- 

 known names, Messrs. le Baron G. de Crombrugge, J. L.-J. Lambillion, 

 Ch. Cabeau, and F. Derenne. We heartily welcome this resuscitation 

 and wish the Society and its Pievue every possible success.
