152 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S RECORD. 
secure the services of experts in various parts of the country and to 
arrange for a Lecture or a Field Meeting or both. The latter will be: 
particularly valuable as object lessons and for discovering the haunts 
of the mosquito. If therefore you can furnish me with the names of. 
one or more persons sufficiently aw fait with any part of this subject 
either to lecture or conduct a field party or both or who will undertake 
to arrange such lectures and field parties, I shall be glad if you will 
let me know by an early post so that the necessary plans may be made. 
If, on the contrary, you desire to be provided with a lecturer or a 
conductor for a field party, the Committee will endeavour to arrange 
accordingly on your applying to me. Dates must be left to the con- 
venience of the gentleman willing to help in this respect. 
Joint meetings, between two or more Societies in the same or 
adjoining locality, might be concerted. This grouping arrangement 
would be immensely and mutually strengthening, and conducive to 
productive and continuous work provided a good leader were chosen. 
The Committee urge you to lose no time in beginning operations, 
and I am sure that you will realise the importance of promptly com- 
municating with me. 
As stated on page 101 ante, all specimens of Anopheles should be 
sent by the method therein stated ; but if there be a local expert who 
can identify the specimens it will be sufficient if absolutely authentic 
particulars of the species of Anopheles and where found are for- © 
warded.—Rry. T. Oswarp Hicks (Hon. Sec. Mosquito Committee

SCIENTIFIC NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 
Parrep LepmporrEra IN FLIGHT.—I haveseen an unsually large number 
of species of paired Lepidopterain flight during my holiday this summer 
and on two separate days’ hunting earlier and one later in the year. In 
every case where there could be the slightest doubt as to which sex 
was carrying the other I have captured the pair and started them off 
in flight again from the net, so that the following records may be 
regarded as absolutely certain. The only species seen with regard to 
which I am not sure, as the pairs were flying too high to be within 
reach, /’ieris brassicae, seen at Guildford, July 29th, and at Prince’s 
Risborough on August 18th, | have not included.
