84 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S RECORD. 
Lameere bases this addition, has been in the Brussels Museum for 
some years. It was captured at Laeken by Camille Van Volxem, and 
has been regarded as Stenobothrus parallelus, Zett., var. eaplicatus, 
Selys (vide, Ent. Rec., 1899, vol. xi., pp. 244-5). 
Mr. Tutt would be pleased if every reader of the Hnt. Record would 
kindly send on any information at his or her disposal about the following 
species: Endromis versicolor, Saturnia pavonia, Poecilocampa popult, 
Trichiura crataegi, Malacosoma castrensis, M. neustria, Hriogaster lanestris, 
Epicnaptera tictfolia, Eutricha quercifolia, Cosmostriche potatoria, 
Macrothylacia rubi, Lastocampa quercis, and L. trifolii. The facts 
might be enumerated under headings—(1) Localities (with counties). 
(2) Dates of capture (in any stage). (8) Food-plants. (4) Habits of 
larva and imago. (5) Habitat. (6) Eggs. (7) Larva. (8) Pupa. If 
put in tabulated form and not included in a letter it would be of great 
advantage. Those correspondents who have already sent lists, &c., 
would greatly oblige by adding the data for 1898 and 1899 to their 
earlier communications. All information will be duly credited in the 
work to be published to the sender. 
The Council of the City of London Entomological and Natural 
History Society having decided that the publication expenses of the 
Transactions for 1899 shall be met by special donations as in the 
previous year, it was resolved at the ordinary meeting of January 16th 
last :—(1) That a special ‘‘ Publication Fund” be started forthwith. 
(2) That the secretaries be requested to write to all members that the 
society have decided to publish their Transactions by a voluntary sub- 
seription. (8) That the president be instructed to appoint a publication 
zommittee composed of subscribers, such committee to have full powers 
in every respect. All entomologists who wish the Transactions for 
1899 to be published and are willing to assist in defraying the cost 
are, therefore, requested to kindly communicate, at an early date, with 
the treasurer, Mr. C. Nicholson, 202, Evering-road, N.E. Many 
generous donations have already been promised, and it is hoped that a 
larger volume may be issued than that of 1898. 
Our readers will be pleased to hear that Mr. Burr is collecting the 
material for a detailed account of the British (including the Channel 
Islands) Orthoptera. He is in want of material—as to localities, habits, 
dates of emergence, &c.—from everywhere. He hopes to start the 
work definitely next autumn, to illustrate it, and to give much space 
to general questions. Information should be sent to Mr. M. Burr, 
Dormans Park, East Grinstead. 
Many of the subscribers to The Natural History of the British 
Lepidoptera, having written about the publication of Vol. I. in parts, 
Mr. Tutt desires to state that Part 1 will only be sent to those sub- 
seribers who have prepaid their subscription and expressly stated that 
they require it in parts. As the parts will be bound in paper, a cover 
to match Vol. I. will be sent to such with Part 2, price 9d. New sub- 
seribers to the work are offered, until Vol. II. is published, the chance 
of subscribing for Vols. I. and II. at 80s. Copies of Vol. I alone can 
still be obtained at £1 net.
