THE YOUNG NATURALIST. 



Have white or pale -flowers been unusually common elsewhere ? I have no 

 doubt I might have found many others, had I been looking for plants ; these 

 were noticed in my entomological rambles. — Ibid. 



Ch^rvcampa Nerii at Glasgow. — Just before going to press Mr. Mackay, 

 of Glasgow, sends me word that a specimen of this rare Hawk moth has been 

 taken at Glasgow. It new into a room where the window was open and was 

 captured by the cat, which, naturally would not improve its condition. Mr. 

 McKay, will furnish a fuller notice for our next issue. Mr. Gardner's cap- 

 ture last year, was, I believe, the most northerly specimen then recorded, and 

 this is the first time it has been taken in Scotland. — Ibid. 



THE EXCHANGE CLUB. 



I have printed the rules of this successful club on the inner page of cover, 

 in the hope that a few more readers of the Young Naturalist will be induced 

 to join it. I have now members enough to fill the three circuits, and also to 

 change some of the boxes each round, but I want another or two who collect 

 Coleoptera and other orders. If a few more join I will be able to form a 

 fourth circuit. I wish also to add a new feature to it. If members will 

 send me lists of their desiderata, I will print them from time to time on the 

 first page. This will enable other members to know what will be most use- 

 ful, and also to help others who may not be in their own circuit. This, how- 

 ever, must not interfere with the sending out, as at present, any duplicates 

 that may be thought interesting. The members will learn more of the forms 

 various species assume locally by the present method. The other will only 

 therefore be supplementary. 



All communications to be addressed — John E. Kobson, Hartlepool.
