Excerpt from The Entomologist's Record and Journal of Variation, Vol. 15: January to December, 1903 Our Coleoptera section, thanks to the untiring energy of Mr. Donisthorpe and Professor Beare, has been specially well maintained, and Mr. Burr has kept the less popular section of Orthoptera moving. We have now, thanks to Mr. Burr, considerable material relative to Orthoptera in hand. That the contributions to our knowledge of the Lepidoptera shows no falling off is amply evident. We have attempted as far as possible to give a good supply of plates with this volume. In this department we are particularly indebted to the Hon. N. C. Rothschild, Dr. T. A. Chapman, and Mr. W. G. Sheldon, for generous help. A three-colour photograph that was to have been published with No. 12 to illustrate Dr. Chapman's new Psychid, and that cannot be completed in time for publication, will be published in one of the early numbers of the next volume. For our Special Index we are this year indebted to Professor T. Hudson Beare, Messrs. M. Burr and H. J. Turner. Such detailed work is always a great strain, and we are very grateful indeed for such kind help. The Rev. C. R. N. Burrows will do the General Index for Vol. Xvi.

Excerpt from The Entomologist's Record and Journal of Variation, Vol. 10: January to December, 1898 On the completion of our tenth volume we again tender our heartiest thanks to our subscribers and contributors. To the latter we are exceedingly obliged for the great number of communications sent, and if we have sometimes been obliged to delay articles, it is simply because we have had so much material on hand that space has been lacking for their immediate publication. Our own papers, on the Migration and Dispersal of Insects, have on this account been delayed, and we have other interesting articles now standing over from some of our best entomologists Mrs. M. De B. Nicholl, Mr. J. J. Walker, Dr. T. A. Chapman, Professor Enzio Reuter, ph.d., and others. These articles we hope to publish early in the New Year.

Excerpt from The Entomologist's Record and Journal of Variation, Vol. 21: January to December, 1909 The morning of August, 5th, 1908, broke doubtfully at Davos; large heavy clouds hang over the valley, whilst others collected round the highest peaks and presaged rain. However, the sun shone brightly between the cloudy intervals, and a start was made for the Sertig-Thal. Across the valley to Claradel, where more "baths" and "open-air beds" are to be found, and one finds oneself in the Sertig-Thal. This is a much narrower valley than the Dischma-Thal, but almost as highly cultivated, although, as it ascends more steeply, the cultivated patches are more quickly left behind. It was, however, a most unusual sight to me to see them busily feeding on the flowers of wild thyme. On the little wild-thyme patches by the edges of the meadows or on the top of the stone-walls, they collected, resting on the flowers with extended and quivering wings, their probosces dug deep into the nectaries of the florets, ever changing their position as they fluttered round a thyme head, successively probing each floret in turn, and then passing on to another, their white-tipped black wings continually vibrating up and down and looking very fresh and fine in the sunlight, and their antennae extended in front; but they remained when the sun was hidden; on two or three occasions also examples were noticed on the horse-droppings in the road, from which they seemed to be extracting some moisture. Argyunis aglaia and A. niobe flew joyously up and down the slopes, whilst, on every small piece of waste ground, Adkinia coprodactyla was, as in all these neighbouring valleys, readily disturbed. A few examples of Aricia astrarche and Polyommatus icarus were also noticed, whilst Melampias melampus flew almost everywhere, nor was there any diminution in the abundance of Pieris brassicae, which, in all the valleys of this part of the Grisons this year, amounted to a veritable plague. Hundreds were often in view at one time, half-a-dozen always, even when cloudy or rain was slightly falling.
