Nomenclature of British Coleop- 
tera, Part I. — Comprising the Geode- 
phaga, Hydradephaga, and part of the 
Philhydrida, by J. F. Dawson, L.L.B. 
and Hamlet Clark, M.A., is now out, 
and may be had, post free, for Twelve 
Stamps, on application to the Rev. H. 
Clark, All Saints, Northampton. 
New Adela Larva. — We lately re- 
ceived from Herr Schmid a larva proba- 
bly referable to this genus, of which the 
case was composed of several pieces, suc- 
cessively added, not of one entire piece as 
in the case of Adela DeGeerella : these 
larv® were found beneath a sloe-bush, 
and in captivity we feed them with 
chickweed ; perhaps they may produce 
Sulzella. 
Dasycampa rubiginea. — Two speci- 
mens of this insect have been taken 
among sallows, near Exeter, this spring. 
Monograph of the Plumes. — We 
are happy to announce that Dr. Jordan, 
of 40, Waterloo Street, Birmingham, is 
working at this group ; he will be happy 
to receive larvce of any of the species 
for the purpose of describing them. 
A suggestion has been made to us, 
that a list of all the European entomolo- 
gists should be prepared, specifying 
which group each individual specially 
attended to. As this could only be as- 
certained by writing to each individual, 
and as a large number of foreign ento- 
mologists would be unwilling to incur 
the expense of postage, the postage both 
ways would fall upon the compiler of the 
Catalogue ; and supposing the European 
entomologists to number 600, and the 
double postage to average a shilling, 
which is certainly a low estimate, the 
expense, in postage alone, would be £ 30 ; 
but, as a large number of the parties 
applied to would probably not be at the 
trouble even of sending an answer to the 
circular, it would be subsequently neces- 
sary to make a tour throughout Europe, 
calling on each of the non-replying indi- 
viduals. Will any one undertake to pre- 
pare such a list? It would be very 
useful !
