Ahencction of Tanagra atrata. — On July 7th last year, when I was 

 collectinp in some meadows near Burnley, where T. afrata wa* excecdinplv 

 abmifl;iiit, [ noticed one very different fiuni the rest. 'JMiis was captineil. and 

 proved to l>e an aberration of a golden-brown tint, very distinct from the usual 

 black colour of the species; it was in very ofood condition. — AV. G. Cm'ttkn,

Abundance of Phigcdia pilosaria at Burnley. — The weather seems to have 

 been very favourable for P. pilosaria this winter, as nearly three hundred 

 examples have been observed here. A careful note of melanic specimens has 

 been made, and it is found that rather over 20 per cent, in this locality are now 

 of the black form. — W. G. Cluttkn. 



Psylla sorbi L. in Britain. — The common Psylla of the Mountain Ash has 

 occupied very little space in entomological literature. Linnaeus described 

 it, quite as fully as could be expected from a naturalist of that date, in 1 7G7.
