entomology, lao, etc. Amongst the papers on bionomics, systematic 

 entomology, etc., we note "A Check List of Coccidse of the Indian 

 Region," by T. V. E. Ayyar, and a paper on the "Proportion of $ 

 forms of Papilio polytes, L., in Dehra Den, U.P., and Bihar," by 

 Prof. B. B. Poulton. But it is impossible even to indicate the scope 

 of the work in the space at our disposal, its interests are so many 

 and varied. — N. D. R. 

 The Scottish Naturalist, March to April, 1922. 



Apart from a number of notes and articles of general interest, 

 varying from the homing of salmon to the history of feathers, this 

 number contains a valuable and well-illustrated article, "Notes on 

 Aphides from Sutherland," pt. i, by Miss Dorothy Jackson, whose 

 work on this group is already widely known. — N. D. B.
