paler than usual ; Mr. Croker, a specimen of Coremia ferrugata with 
one antenna, J , the other, $ , the specimen also exhibited some varia- 
tion in the wing markings on opposite sides, also a dark Spilosoma 
lubrlcipeda ; Mr. Turner, a killing tin made on the plan suggested by 
Mr. Farren {Ent. Rec.^ vol. ii., p. 67). This attracted some attention.

caused so much devastation in Algeria this year, and Acrydium tartari- 
ciwi^ which did great damage in Cyprus, some 8 years ago. An account 
of the excursion to Eynesford was then given by Messrs. Carrington 
and Lewcock, from which it would appear that 17 species of Diurni, 
8 Bombyces, 3 NocTUiE, 22 Geometry., 3 Crambid^, besides other 
Lepidoptera were captured; also many good species of Coleoptera. — Ed.

A List of the Macro-Lepidoptera of Leicestershire with 
Dates and Localities. By F. Bouskell and C. B. Headley. Pub- 
lished by Geo. Gibbons and Co., 49, King Street, Leicester. Price 
6d. Another county list to hand. This time that of the Macro- 
lepidoptera of Leicestershire compiled by Messrs. F. Bouskell and C. 
B. Headley. Of these local lists there is generally nothing but praise 
to bestow, and this is no exception to the rule. Done from pure 
love of the subject those responsible have executed their work well, and 
there is only one regret, that they have not added notes to the most 
interesting species. These local lists always call to mind the great 
show that the South London Entomological Society made four years 
ago for producing a fauna list of Kent and the adjacent counties. 
With every opportunity of obtaining the fullest and most complete 
information, and after spending as much money in preliminaries as 
many a local list has cost to produce, there has been absolutely 
nothing done, the committee seem to have died from sheer inanition, 
and, unless the members strongly take the matter up, it would appear 
that the council will let the idea collapse completely. One would 
think that with such a comparatively large income, the general body of 
members would insist on the production of some scientific work instead 
of allowing the money to be frittered away on an Annual Report, 
which, good enough in its way, if brought out to date, is highly ridicu- 
lous when two to three years behind time. 
The Dover Pictorial just issued by Messrs. Goulden for the small 
sum of sixpence contains no less than thirty photo-print views, with 
information upon a variety of topics. Amongst others there is an 
article on Entomology, with a list of lepidoptera. This, we notice, has 
been revised by members of the Dover Field Club, and is something 
more than a mere catalogue of names, as the latest dates of capture, 
the localities, and distances from the Dover centre are given in all 
the principal instances. Some of these comprise specimens unre- 
corded in the entomological literature of the day, such as Sesia 
andreniformis in 1889, 1890; Clostera anachoreta^ 1888; and P/iycis 
obductella in 1889. The list will, we think, be very useful to those 
visiting the town. — Ed.
