Acryditdji. 
Acrydium peregrinum, Li De Selys-Longchamps, OR. Ent. Belg. xx. 
pp. x,-xii. & Ix.-lxii., enters into an examination of the geographical dis- 
tribution of this species, which has visited Europe on more than one 
occasion. He indicates two varieties, one yellow, originating in the North 
of Africa (observed in Corfu, in 1866), the other rose, originating in 
Senegal (observed in Britain in 1869, and S.W. Sp^in in 1876). 
Calopteniis spretus. Prominent amongst the numerous American 
publications on this insect is, ‘‘ The Locust Plague in the United States, 
being more particularly a treatise on the Rocky Mountain Locust, &c.,” 
by C’ V. Riley (Chicago; 1877, p. 231, 8vo, illustrated with plates, maps, 
and many woodcuts). It is little more than a reprint of his articles in 
the annual Rep. Ins. Mo., already noticed in former Records, but in a 
useful popular form. (Reviewed in Ent. M. M. xiv. p. 118). The same 
author occupies pp. 67-124 of his Rep. Ins. Mo. vii. (1877) by considera- 
tions respecting the same insect, the greater part of which are reproduced 
in the work noticed above, and gives a popular summary in Am. Nat. xi. 
pp. 663-673, republished in Canad. Nat. viii. pp. 363-374. Packard, 1. c. 
pp. 22-29, discusses the causes of the migration of the annual swarms, 
and their correlation with meteorological infiuences. Le Conte, P. Ac. 
Philad. 1877, pp. 129-131, suggests the course to pursue in order to 
combat the ravages. G. M. Dawson, Canad. Nat. viii. pp. 207-226, pub- 
lishes “ Notes on the appearance and migrations of the Locusts in Mani- 
toba and the North-West T^i'i’itories : Summer of 1875.” See also the 
Bulletins of the United States Entomological Commission, Nos. 1 & 2 
(No. 1 appeared in two editions). 
Under the title of “ Locusts in Yorkshire,” W. D. Roebuck gives a 
chronological summary of the appearance of large species of this family 
in the county, with general allusions to occurrences in Britain. Pacliy- 
tylus cinerascens is probably the most frequent visitor, hut migratorius is 
no doubt included, and there is a suspicion of Acrydium peregrinum.
