26 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Nottinghamshire, and at Waterford. It has not yet been proved 

 that these examples were all of the new species, but it is 

 highly probable that this was so, as the peculiar positions in 

 which the locusts have been captured this year all indicate, 

 if I may so term it, an unsophisticated disposition of the 

 animal, widely different from that of Locusta migratoria, 

 which has nearly always been found in fields or gardens, 

 whilst the species of this year has been captured in two 

 brewery yards, in the room of a house, upon a man's coat, 

 and (it is said) upon a lady's bonnet, but looking at the 

 difficulty an animal so large would find in getting standing 

 room upon a modern bonnet, there may possibly be some 

 mistake as to the last-mentioned locality. Mr. F. Walker 

 has identified the species as Acridium peregrinum of Olivier, 

 which is dispersed over a large part of Asia and Northern 

 Africa, but has not hitherto been found in Europe." 



Partial Gynandromorfldsm. — Prof. Westwood, as an 

 instance of partial gynandromorphism, in which the union of 

 the opposite sexual characters was confined to a single limb, 

 exhibited drawings of a specimen of Anthocharis Cardamines, 

 the wings of which, for the most part male, partook to some 

 extent of the colour and character of the female, as if pieces 

 of the wing of the male had been cut out and replaced by 

 pieces of the wing of the female.
