1890. J 53 



Deepdale, a lovely gorge, through which runs one of the many tributaries of the 

 Tees on the Yorkshire side. I believe I beat it out of a sallow bush, and it dropped 

 to the ground, and it was only afterwards that I found it was not a D. lacerttila. 

 I brought it home as a wonderful instance of mimicry." — R. McLachlan, Lewisham, 

 London: January, 1890. 



Fifth Report on the Injueiotjs and other Insects of the State of 

 New York. By J. A. Lintner, Ph.D., State Entomologist, Albany, N. Y". 1889. 



This Report fully sustains the reputation of Dr. Lintner, as one of the most 

 astute of American State Entomologists. It is full of information useful alike to 

 the Economic Entomologist, the Agriculturist, and the Biologist. It is needless 

 to enter into special details. Some subjects formerly treated upon at length are 

 alluded to, others, and new, are rendered in a minute manner. The illustrations 

 are copious, and even although some of them are familiar as having done duty before, 

 they are none the less useful. The short introductory notes — a summary for the 

 year — go to prove the extreme uncertainty in the attacks of injurious insects- 

 puzzling to the Biologist, comforting to the Agriculturist. 



Professor Frey. We regret to announce the death, on the 17th January, of 

 Professor Heinrich Frey, of Ziirich, from an attack of apoplexy. We hope to give 

 a more detailed notice of the illustrious Professor in our nest number. 



Lucien Buquet, Treasurer of the Societe Entomologique de France for 45 years 

 (December, 1842, to December, 1887), died in the middle of last December. His 

 decease cannot but occasion deep regret amongst his French colleagues ; it will be 

 equally regretted here by many who had the pleasure of his personal acquaintance. 

 He was elected into the French Society in 1833, and, from his appointment as 

 Treasurer to the time of his decease, may be said to have devoted himself nearly 

 entirely (and with great success) to the financial business of the Society. After his 

 retirement in 1887, he was appointed Honorary Treasurer. He published many 

 useful notes on Coleoptera, chiefly, if not entirely, in the French " Annaies." Being 

 at this moment without further particulars, we can do no more (we could do no less) 

 than put on record this small tribute to the memory of one so long and usefully 

 connected with the oldest existing Entomological Society. 



At the Annual Meeting of the Lancashire and Cheshire Entomological 

 Society, held on Monday, January 13th, 1890, at the Free Library, William Brown 

 Street, Liverpool, the President, S. J. Capper, F.L.S., in the Chair, Mr. Capper 

 was re-elected President, Mr. F. N. Pierce, Honorary Secretary, and Mr. Willoughby 

 Gardner, Vice-President. 



Mr. Capper delivered an address, mentioning the principal most interesting 

 Entomological events of the year.
