of the Dominion Department of Agriculture, as it is an exceedingly valuable contribution to our 

 economic literature. 



The Bulletin is entitled " The Natural Control of the Fall Web-worm in Canada, together 

 with an Account of its Several Parasites." It comprises 107 pages, with many text illustrations. 

 In addition, there are six beautiful plates containing figures of the various adult parasites with 

 their cocoons, and also several other plates showing the anatomical structure of the larvae. 



The work is written by Dr. John D. Tothill and is the result of eight years' intensive study, 

 in which he was ably assisted by Mr. A. B. Baird. The control-work was carried on in three 

 different Provinces — in New Brunswick from 1912 to 1918, in Nova Scotia from 1916 to 191S, and 

 in Southern British Columbia from 1917 to 1919.

Lepidoptera not previously recorded from British Columbia. 

 The following thirteen species are new records for the Province and were all taken by 

 Dr. W. R. Buckell, of Salmon Arm, B.C., who has added considerably to our knowledge of 

 British Columbia Lepidoptei - a by his persistent and careful collecting during the past few years. 

 In a few days' vacation, spent with his nephew, Mr. E. R. Buckell. at Nicola Lake, he was 

 successful in securing at least four new records. There are in his collection other apparently 

 new species, but these have not as yet been definitely determined.
