Telephorus translucidus. — I had a turn during the morning of 

 July 7th, at Highgate Woods, in hopes of getting this uncommon 

 Malacoderm, Mr. Newbery having taken it on the previous Friday. 

 It is to be got by beating the tops of hornbeam, &c. Owing to the 

 continual showers, I obtained but one specimen. Other captures 

 were Agathidium nigvipenne and Leiopiis nebidosus.—G. A. Lewcock,

Hesperia Lineola in Essex. — Several members of the South 

 London Entomological Society visited Leigh in Essex on the 26th 

 July to hunt for this latest addition to our list. Between 80 and 100 

 specimens were taken altogether, among the 21 collectors present. 

 One gentlemen was fortunate enough to obtain 21 to his share, others 

 were not so successful, but only one returned without an example. 



The Lepidoptera of Lancashire and Cheshire, by Dr. J. W. 



This valuable and interesting work is a reprint of a series of papers 

 that have appeared in the " Naturalist " from time to time since 1885. 

 In general plan it is like Mr. Porritt's list of Yorkshire lepidoptera, 

 published in 1883, but as it includes the species occurring in the two 

 counties of Lancashire and Cheshire, the localities for each county 

 are separated. The number of species included is rather larger than 

 that of the Yorkshire list, being 1355 as against 1341. This is re- 

 markably close, but notwithstanding the similarity in number of 

 species, and the close proximity of the area to which the lists refer, 

 there are many differences between them. They are rather trouble- 

 some to compare, as Dr. Ellis has followed the German arrangement 

 and nomenclature, while Mr. Porritt adopted that in more general 

 use in Britain. As an illustration of resemblances and differences in 

 the two lists we will quote the the genus Acidalia.
