mologist’s Record, the Kntomoloyist, the E'ntomologists Monthly Mayazine, 
the Proceedings of the South London Hntomological Society and the 
Transactions of the City of London Entomological Society. The references 
are to the Volume, Page, Collector, and generally Month and Year. If 
any subscriber to our Magazine wishes to know the possibilities of a 
locality, which he intends to visit, we shall be pleased to give the 
references in the number subsequent to receiving a postcard from him, 
assuming of course that the request be made before we go to press. 
No reply will be sent otherwise than in the pages of the magazine. 
In the Irish Naturalist for December we read “ Colias edusa was not 
uncommon near Tranmore, Co. Wexford, from the beginning of Sep- 
tember.” A var. helice was taken on September 29th. A larva of 
Manduca atropos was reported from Moyallen, Co. Down. 
We should be very pleased to receive personal notes of the doings 
and whereabouts of entomologists, who are taking duties either directly 
or indirectly in “active service,” for insertion in this column. We 
have had communications from Capt. Malcolm Burr, Capt. P. P. Graves, 
and H. W. Andrews, all in the Hastern area, more or less recently. 
In the Scottish Naturalist for February reference is made to more 
captures of Agrius (Sphina) convolvuli, one in Bute and another at 
Stronvar, Perthshire. Phibalapteryx lapidata has also turned up in a 
new locality, viz., Blawhorn Moor, Linlithgow, in the Lothian Hills. 
In the Naturalist for February Mr. F. H. Day gives a summary of 
his work during 1917 among the Coleoptera of Cumberland. His best 
capture was Hydroporus rufifrons, and H. discretus was recorded as 
new to the district. 
In the Ent. Mo. Mag. for February Mr. H. Britten describes a new 
species of the genus Choleva (Col.), Choleva glauca, which he differen- 
tiates from C. cisteloides, to which it is closely allied.
