ENTOMOLOGY IN AMERICA. 
The study of American Micro-Lepi- 
doptera continues to flourish, and we 
have just received a fourth paper from 
Dr. Clemens, with descriptions of a num- 
ber of new species. 
Indeed Dr. Clemens has made so much 
progress in the last few years that he is 
now meditating a monograph of the 
American Tineina. For this purpose he 
wants, however, fellow-labourers ; already 
a few students and collectors are at work 
in various parts of the United States, but 
all are north of 38° N. latitude, and col- 
lections of Micros made to the south of 
this, especially in the extreme southern 
States, would be proportionally more 
interesting. 
One of the most interesting novelties 
recorded in Dr. Clemens’ last paper is 
Brenthia pavonacella. “ This insect has 
the curious habit of strutting about broad 
leaves, in shady places, with its fore 
wings somewhat spread and the hind 
wings turned forward at right angles to 
the costa of the fore wing, so as to display 
the surface of the under pair. It is 
easily recognised by this characteristic 
alone.” 
The habit of this insect is far more 
curious than that of Slathmopoda pe- 
della, the strutting being superadded to 
the extraordinary position the insect 
assumes. 
It is a great consolation to find that if 
we should exhaust all the novelties in 
Europe, there will still be work left on 
the other side of the .4tlautic. 
GREENWICH NATORAL-HISTORY 
CLUB. 
The July excursion of this Club will 
take place this day (Saturday, July 28th), 
under the guidance of Mr. Stainton, and 
will be mainly devoted to Entomology. 
The excursion will start from the 
Bromley station of the Mid-Kent Rail- 
way, at 1.4 P.M., on the arrival of the 
train which leaves London Bridge at 
12.30 and Lewisham Junction at 12.43. 
From thence the route will be over 
Bromley Common towards Lock’s Bot- 
tom, visiting some boggy ground, where 
one of the branches of the Eavensbourne 
rises ; after exploring this ground tho- 
roughly one of the roads will be taken 
to Chiselhurst, where the rendezvous 
will take place, at the “ Tiger’s Head,” 
between 4.30 and 5.30 p. m.
