NEWS FROM THE MAGAZINES.

Mere] in The Journal of Botany for April. 
‘ The Larval Mouth -hooks of Hypoderma,’ by G. Phibbs, is the title 
of a paper in The Irish Naturalist for March.

‘ The Early Inhabitants of East Yorkshire,’ by T. Sheppard, appears

In Science Progress for January is a remarkable paper by J . F. Marshall 
dealing with ‘ The Unofficial Mosquito Control in England.’ 
British Birds for April, among many important notes, contains 
< Notes on the Breeding Habits of the Wood-lark in Dorset,’ by W. J. 
Ashford . 
Richard South regrets that, acting on advice, he has decided to with- 
draw from the duties of Editor of The Entomologist . His place will be 
taken by Capt. N. D. Riley. 
The Outline of Science, Part 10 (George Newnes, is. 2d. net) has an 
admirably coloured plate illustrating insect life, and a charmingly 
written series of articles on various remarkable aspects of the- insect 
world . 
A portrait of the late Dr. T. A. Chapman, F.R.S., appears in No. 693 
of The Entomologist’s Monthly Magazine. In the same publication is 
a lengthy and well -written report of the Annual Meeting of the Yorkshire 
Naturalists’ Union (Entomological Section), by Mr. E. G. Bayford. 
Volume XXI. of The Journal of the Northants Natural History, etc., 
Club, among a wealth of local information, contains ‘ The Northampton 
Sands of Northampton,’ by B. Thompson, ‘ False Brome Grass in 
Northants,’ by A. J. W. Hornby, and ‘ Northants Characeae,’ by 
H. N. Dixon. 
The Spring issue of The Geographical Teacher contains a fine series 
of papers and notes bearing upon all branches of Geography-. The 
wire-stabbing is very inconvenient and undesirable if the publication 
is to be preserved, though from the way in which the advertisements 
are interspersed in the text, this is perhaps not the editor’s intention. 
We must congratulate The New Phytologist on its new appearance. 
Vol. XXI., No. 1, dated 22nd March, is even better than one of its 
old fashioned ‘ double numbers,’ and its number and date are given in a 
way quite convenient for quoting, and we now have not the trouble of 
cutting the pages. Among the contents are : ‘ Permeability : Osmotic 
Pressure,’ by W. Stiles ; ‘ A Study of some of the Factors Controlling 
the Periodicity of Freshwater Algae in Nature,’ by W. J. Hodgetts ; 
' Studies in Phaenology, ’ by F. Darwin ; ‘ Further Observations upon 
the Mechanism of Root Pressure,’ by J. H. Priestley ; and ' Records of 
Autumnal or Second Flowerings of Plants,’ by F. Darwin and A. Shrubbs. 
Part XXI. of The Bradford Antiquary, edited by J. H. Rowe and 
H. J. M. Maltby, contains the Reports of the Bradford Historical and 
Antiquarian Society for the years 1919-1921, an obituary notice (with 
portrait) of the late J. L. Gregory, a paper on ‘ Early Bradford Friendly 
Societies,’ by H. J. M. Maltby, and an elaborate pa,per on 1 The Roman 
Road North of Low Borrow Bridge, to Brougham Castle, Westmorland, 
and on the Route of the 10th Iter.’ This is reprinted from the Tran- 
sactions of the Cumberland and Westmorland Society. This is an ex- 
cellent paper, but in view of the present charges for printing, we should 
have thought our Bradford friends would have spent their money in 
publishing new matter. Several pounds might have been saved by 
striking off the necessary number for Bradford from the Cumberland and 
Westmorland Society’s type.
