REVIEW—LEPIDOPTERA OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE. 15 
12. Allurus tetraedrus Eisen. Widely distributed. Found on 
banks of Eden, and by Yorkshire streams whenever sought. 
Immediately recognised by its square tail, and backward 
movements—whence termed Lumbricus amphisbena by Duges, 
and L. agilis, Hoffm. I found a beautiful variety near Carlisle 
which Dr. Benham thinks may merit specific rank. I have 
named it provisionally A//urus flavus n. var. It is very plenti- 
ful near Dalston and Cummersdale along with the type, but 
I have not seen it elsewhere. 
13. Pericheta indicus Horst. I found one specimen of this 
pretty foreign worm in a greenhouse, Kendal, May 1890. It 
has been recorded before from Scotland. 
(14. Lumbricus multispinus Grube? A peculiar form with 
sete in bundles of three from Apperley Bridge, December 1890, 
under examination].

‘A COMPARISON OF THE LEPIDOPTEROUS 
FAUNA OF YORKSHIRE 
AND LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE. 
he Lommrgiers of: of Lancashire and Cheshire. By JoHN W. ELLIs, 
B.(Vic.), 
We very Lordighiy welcome the appearance of this list (which is 
comprised of the series of papers published in the ‘ Naturalist ’) in 
book form. On comparing it with the ‘List of Yorkshire Lepi- 
doptera,’ one is at once struck with the closeness in the number of 
species recorded in the two lists, the total recorded lepidopterous 
fauna of Lancashire and Cheshire being given as 1,355; that o 
Jan, 1897.
