The Entomologist's Record and Journal of Variation (Volume 14) (Paperback)


Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: curculionides, L., rolls the young leaves of the hornbeam and sweet- chestnut as well as those of oaks. Attention should also be drawn to a note by Mr. Morley (Ent. Mo. May., p. 64) on Harpalm frlicliii, Sturm, though I am afraid he has built up a very interesting theory of the complete disappearance of this insect from Britain on entirely insufficient grounds. In the Ent. Record several valuable articles have appeared, notably a most thoughtful and painstaking one by Mr. W. E. Sharp (pp. 147 et x/.) on " The Distribution of the British Coleptera." This paper is too lengthy to attempt to summarise in this brief retrospect of the year's work, I can only strongly commend it to the attention of all those interested in the problem of the present distribution of our fauna. The author has certainly adduced strong evidence in favour of the hypotheses he puts forward, to account for the many apparent anomalies which meet us on every side, when we attempt to unravel the mysteries of this question. Mr. Tutt, in continuation of previous notes, has gathered together from all sources a mass of information on the " Migration of Coleptera"' (pp. 281 et .s/.). The author has shown again his extraordinary powers of assimilating and presenting in an attractive form, details which in other hands might often prove overwhelming to the student. In the same journal Mr. Donisthorpe has given, on p. 849, the first instalment of the work he has now been engaged on for many months, in a paper entitled " Some Experiments with Myrmecophilou Coleptera and an observation nest of Formica rufa." These experiments are most instructive and are certain to prove most important in laying the foundation for an exact knowledge of the relationship which exists between hosts and guests in the nests of ants.
