Well, we concealed it in an alder copse till dark, while we collected and sugared, | 
and when darkness came on we mounted the “trap”? on a convenient stump, 
lighted and left it. 
Till nine o’clock nothing came, but soon after, on looking, I found no less than 
six or seven Phibalapteryw lignata scampering up the inside glass. A few sharp 
puffs of breath drove these into the drawer where they were secured by the glass 
slide, and we again left it. Before the evening closed we trapped some more 
Uignata, one Pterophorus isodactylus, and two or three common species, such as 
Hydrocampa nymphealis, &c.—-C. G. Barrerr, Norwich, September 16th, 1871. 
Review, 
TRANSACTIONS OF THE NorFoLK AND NorwicH NATURALIST’S Socizty, 1870- 
71, 8vo., pp. 1—92.— Norwich, 1871. 
Last year we had the pleasure of noticing the first part of “Transactions” (vol. 
vii, p. 21) published by this flourishing local Society. The volume now before us 
contains matters of more than local interest. Though ornithology seems decidedly 
the strong point in the studies of the members, all branches of natural history are 
fairly represented. The entomological paper is by our valued correspondent Mr, 
Barrett, on coast insects found inland. Mr. Barrett’s views on this subject are 
already known to the readers of this magazine. His observations are very valu- 
able, but we think Mr. Barrett argues too much from local facts. Many of our 
coast insects are known to continental entomologists as inhabitants of the plains of 
central Germany, where they find the conditions which with us, in the majority 
of cases, apparently only exist on the shores. With reference to the President’s 
remarks as to the existence of seals in the inland seas of Asia, we would remind 
him that marine Crustacea exist in some of the fresh-water lakes of Norway, iden- 
tical in species with those found on the shores, and only slightly modified by their 
long sojourn in fresh-water; and that, on the other hand, the mighty rivers of 
tropical Asia and tropical America are inhabited by many species of the smaller 
Cetacea, which carefully keep in the upper part of the rivers, away from the influence 
of the ocean. The existence of seals and dolphins inland is only surprising because 
both have become associated in our minds with marine conditions. 
A paper of general interest is that by Prof. Alfred Newton, on a mode of 
keeping a Natural History Register, with lithographed specimen. It is, of course, 
the journal of an ornithologist, but combined with daily meteorological observa- 
tions, too complicated for the entomologist ; yet the latter might take some useful 
hints from it.
