THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
Great Northern Railroad runs through a 
part of the fen where, when I was a boy, 
one could scarcely walk : at the spot 
where I used to land from my boat, on 
the edge of the Mere, stands a farm- 
house; my favourite locality for C. Dis- 
par— where the bog myrtle used to grow 
in profusion and scent the air with its 
delicious perfume — was (as I myself saw 
last season) converted into a field of 
stinking cole-seed, with a flock of sheep 
eating it off. All the better, no doubt, 
for the landowners, but ruinous work for 
the naturalist, and as such you will 
sympathize with me in the destruction 
of what was one of the most interesting 
localities in the whole country for persons 
inclined to such pursuits, — you will 
understand how indignant I felt when 
some one irreverently told me, a few 
years ago, that they had “ tapped the 
Mere ! ”

THE BRITISH TORTRICES. 
BY S. J. WILKINSON. 
This work forms one 8vo volume, 
uniform with the series of the ‘ Insecta 
Britannica,’ and contains descriptions 
of all the British species of Tortricina, 
with observations on their habits and 
localities. 
“ Mr. Wilkinson has described, with 
great accuracy, from original specimens, 
three hundred species of these insects. 
As this has been done with the skill 
of a master, the work must take its 
place beside the great descriptive works 
devoted to other families of insects.” —
