fourteen to length, and so arranged that whether the ege be looked at 
from any position (but especially the upper or flat side), they appear 
to form concentric ovals which are less marked centrally (Described 
under hand lens, July 80th, 1899, from eggs laid same day at 
Simplon).—J. W. Turr. 
Late Larvm or CEerura rurcuta.—tlt may be of interest to state 
that at the end of last September I took four very small larve of this 
Species on sallow. These I sleeved on some sallow growing in the 
garden. One of the larve died on October 22nd, after feeding up 
fairly well, and another on November 4th. The third I found on 
November 11th spun up, and the remaining larva, which I removed 
into the house on the last mentioned date as it appeared to have 
suffered somewhat from the effect of the frosts on the two previous 
nights, fed until November 18th, when, although apparently 
immature as regards size, it spun up, finishing its pupation on 
November 20th.—A. Russert, F.E.S., Southend, near Catford.

Fauna Reent Huneartar.—llI., Arthropoda, Orthoptera, pp. 1-47, 
and one map. Budapest, 1899.—This is a continuation of the mono- 
eraph of the fauna of Hungary, which celebrates the thousandth 
anniversary of the establishment of the kingdom. ‘The Orthoptera, 
sensu stricto, are by Julius Pungur. The literature quoted consists 
of a list of 122 papers, mainly in Magyar. The census of species is as 
follows :—Forficularia, 7 species; Blattodea, 11; Mantodea, 38; Phas- 
matodea, 2; Acridiodea, 59 ;- Locustodea, 76; and Gryllodea, 15; 
making a grand total of 173 species. We notice that Pungur retains 
Apterygida albipennis, Meg., in the genus Chelidura, from which it 
must undoubtedly be removed, and also that he does not follow 
Scudder in restoring Podisma for Pezotettix. The most interesting 
species included is Bacillus redtenbacheri, Pad., a rare form, hitherto 
only known from Zengg, in Croatia. The Thysanoptera are worked 
out by Joseph Jablonowski, who records 87 species. Of Apterygogonea, 
by Emeric Vellay, there are 70, and of Psewdo-Neuroptera, by Alex- 
ander Mocsary, there are 148, distributed as follows :—Termitidae, 1 ; 
Psocidae, 21; Perlidae, 25; Mphemeridae, 42; Libellulidae, 22; Aes- 
chnidae, 15; Agrionidac, 22. The true Neuroptera are treated by the 
same author, and 244 species are included in the list.—M. B. 
British LEPIDOPTERA.—I am very glad to see the sympathetic note 
written by Mr. W. J. Kaye, upon the second volume of British 
Lepidoptera (antea, pp. 286-288). I, for one, should be very sorry to 
see the local lists cut down.—-J. C. Moperny, M.A., F.EK.S., Wood-
