Loups et éco-pouvoir. Une analyse franco-norvégienne des récits sur le retour des grands prédateurs
Authors: Skogen Ketil , Mauz Isabelle , Krange Olve
Published: February 2010

Le retour des loups s'est accompagné de conflits dans de nombreuses régions rurales. Cet article porte sur le sud-est de la Norvège et sur les Alpes françaises, où ces conflits sont, dans leurs grandes lignes, similaires. Des récits, diversement partagés par des personnes qui occupent des positions variées dans ce que l'on peut appeler le « champ du loup », véhiculent des interprétations divergentes de la situation. Certains de ces récits, qui constituent deux grands types présents en France comme en Norvège, attirent l'attention et paraissent être devenus des éléments particulièrement importants des discours sur la réapparition des grands prédateurs. Les rumeurs de duction secrète par les autorités sont fréquentes chez les adversaires des loups. Un autre type de récit, cher au camp des partisans des loups, repose sur l'idée selon laquelle l'opposition locale à la présence des prédateurs est propre à la Norvège, ou à la France. Cependant, tandis que les rumeurs d'une conspiration de la réintroduction sont fréquemment ridiculisées, la théorie du caractère strictement national des conflits a acquis un statut de vérité quasiment officielle. Nous suggérons que cette différence de traitement peut être analysée comme une manifestation d'éco-pouvoir.
Langage et polémique : la dénonciation de la "sophistique" libérale dans deux journaux ultraroyalistes, le Conservateur et le Défenseur (1818-1821)
Authors: Aureau Bertrand
Published: February 2010

The article studies the way in which the French ultra-royalist press at the time of the Restoration

reacted to attacks on it: in parlicular on the way oft hinking expressed in two of its main periodicals.

Its defense principally consisted in being controvcrsial in the material nature oft he facts in question,

and about the correct use of philosophical notions such as liberty or equality which the ultras believed

that they alone fully mastered. While the purely nominal character of its lexis condemns its projects to inconsistancy, the liberal rhetoric is highly seductive through ils poetic power. By playing on associated connotations, arousing and awakening emotions, il weakens the power both of its reasoning and the

civic awareness of its partisans as much as of its opponents. The obstinacy of the liberls in their

intellectual positions is more often interpreted by the ultras as the result of ' insincerity: rhe weight of their own interests and way of thinking impair them from escaping from a half-achtowledged blindness

of an ideological nature.
Représentation et signification sociale de la vengeance dans un texte réaliste. L'exemple de La Cousine Bette
Authors: Vassilev Kris
Published: February 2010

In the literary works ofDumas and Balzac, revenge novels, romantic in one case and realist in

the other, function as a critique of modern societal structures. By definition, Balzac's movels condemne each individual undertaking to defeat by the established social order. However, in Cousin Bette, revenge, in conformance with the historical upbeavals of the first half of the Ninetheenth Century, is

permitied every chance of ssucceding. The destruction of Hulot's family seems imminent, at least

insofar as Bette's revenge stays in phase with social and economic realities. But Bette's ambition -to subdue her cousins' family in her financial power -is in fact, as a social ulterior motive: subversive

in nature. Thus, it can only be subjugated by realist discourse and hence doomed to failure. lt is

nonetheless true that this failure, due to Vautrin ' s intervention and his quasi-fantastic power, seems

to escape the framework of realism. Hence we are faced with the ambigiuty of the final dismantling

of the revenge mechanism.
Corps et âme dans Aurélia de Gérard de Nerval
Authors: Mizuno Hisashi

Même s'il est vrai que les signes de folie marquent l'écriture d'Aurélia, ce récit n'en témoigne pas moins de la lucidité de Gérard de Nerval. Dans la première partie, les impressions

irrationnelles du héros, décrites sous les lorntes du double de la métamorphose et de la métempsycose, servent à confirmer l'existence d'un monde hors espace-temps, dont l'âme séparée du corps fait I expérience. La seconde partie, qui décrit encore des hallucinations inyrhico-religieuses. se

caractérise pouriani par des références fréquentes a la réaliré, et au fur et à mesure du parcours

initiatique, arrive à composer une seconde réalité plus réelle que la réalité matérielle, où le héros

finit par intégrer dans sa perception du réel les convictions nées de ses expériences pathologiques.

Virtuosités de Berlioz
Authors: Bloom Peter
Published: February 2010

(I) Berlioz chef d'orchestre a su «jouer de l'orchestre»: son intelligence de la partition et

sa maîtrise de l'intonation, du tempo et de l'expression collective lui donnent la première place parmi les chefs virtuoses. (11) Son respect pour les intentions du compositeur et pour la cohérence dramatique de la musique l'a conduit à critiquer les embellissements creux des chanteurs virtuoses

de l'époque. (III) Dans sa deuxième symphonie -inspirée, rejetée et enfin approuvée par Paganini -Berlioz confie à l'orchestre «la difficulté vaincue»: les complexités rythmiques imprévues, liées aux innovations mélodiques, harmoniques et sonores qui, elles, sont souvent d'une construction exceptionnelle, constituent la véritable virtuosité du compositeur que l'ut Berlioz.

(IV) Comme chef d'orchestre et comme compositeur Berlioz a inspiré plusieurs générations de

chefs virtuoses et «intellectuels».
Tartarin, les avatars d'un disciple de Saint Hubert
Authors: Dufief Anne-Simone
Published: February 2010

Ahhough Daudet claimed to paint " from life ", his personal experience of hunting doesn ' t

account for the importance ofthe theme in his work or to juslify the creation of Tartarin, a debased double of Saint Hubert, emblem of the Southerner hunter, histrionic and inveterate

liar; who is altogether a caricature of the Sunday hunter and a literary hero taking place

among the " victimes du livre", intoxicated by the reading of cynegetic exploits. Tartarin of

Tarascon is a satirical novel directed against two styles of hunting: one sends back to realism

and the other to parody and pastiche. In other works of Daudet; hunting is seen as the

opportunity to penetrate a mysterious sphere and favours meditation on death and evil, though il would be an overstatement to say that the writer uses hunting as a representation

ofa mystic or symbolic quest. Hunting is essentially the pretext to telling fabulous stories, full

of lies and fancies, on which the novelist cames no moral judgements because, in the final

analysis, the hunter stands for the artist. Daudet denies reality to hunting and substitutes to

it the evidence of the fable and its rewritings. Hunting wasn't-it already an illusion for the Tarasconnais who pretended to believe that caps were small game? Tartarin of Tarascon is

an eccentric short story, neither fantastic, nor symbolic, which uses the metaphor of hunting

lo tell that the mirage is indispensable in a world where action is not companion lo

dream...
Faux et usage de faux en art cynégétique : le Pseudokinegheticos d'Alexandru Odobescu
Authors: De Palacio Jean
Published: February 2010

Intended at first as a mere foreword to a hunting treatise, the Rumanian writer Alexandru

Odobescu s Pseudokinegheticos (1874) expanded into a book-length essay, but is not what

it seems to be: rather a book about books than a book about hunting, rather au indoor

ramble through library shelves than an outdoor ramble up like and down dale, more " browsing"

than hunting. The book is a kind of hotch-potch or boax, replete with learning and quotations in every language, and with a strong lexical bent, culminating in a last chapter said to lie the most attractive to the reader, and only made out of dots.
Les "géographies" de l'art : physionomies, races et mythes dans la peinture "ethnographique"
Authors: Peltre Christine
Published: February 2010

Comme le sculpteur Charles Cordier, à qui fut en 2004 consacrée une exposition

au Musée d'Orsay, Théodore Valerio (1819-1S79) appartient à une génération d'artistes qui a tenté, par sa description des races, de faire ouvre anthropologique. L'occasion lui

en a été fournie par des voyages en Europe centrale entre 1S51 er IS54 dont il a

rapporté aquarelles et dessins ainsi qu'un texte publié en 1858 dans L'artiste, intitulé

«lissais ethnographiques sur les populations hongroises». La démarche de Valerio s'ins ¬

crit dans le contexte de la recherche géographique de la «physionomie», à laquelle l'encourage le savant Alexandre de Humboldt. Par la technique et par l'esprit, ces porte ¬

feuilles ethnographiques, présentés à l'Exposition universelle de 1855, se rattachent aux systèmes raciologiques contemporains. Ils sonr cependant aussi inspirés par des enjeux esthétiques et par la quête identitaire des artistes au XIXe siècle, associant volontiers leur

«race» à celle de l'autre, ailleurs.
"Presque chacun ressemble à l'embryon" L'amour et la race dans La Danseuse de Shamakha de Gobineau
Authors: Moussa Sarga
Published: February 2010

The Essay on the Inequaliry of Human Races (1853-1855) radicedizes the 19th century discourse of race which insists upon the separation and hierarchy of different " races " whose mixture would lead to degeneration. Paradoxically, The Dancing-girl from Shamakha, the first of the Nouvelles asiatiques (1876), hardly illustrates the idea of the superiority

of the white " race". Although the Muslim heroine is originally from the Caucasus,

cradle of the mythical " Aryans", she is torn between defending her ethnie identity (she

belongs to the proud tribe of the Lesghys) and her love for men who are outside of this boundary, whether it is her cousin Mourad, who has become Assanoff since serving in the Russian army (although this sad result at " racial mixing" is unable to return to his original identity), or the Spanish exile, Moreno, in whom the dancer recognizes an image of her own nostalgia (she eventually dies, however, from this love), in Gobineau ' s writing, their is both

tragic universalism and the desire to believe in an elite of those who have become uprooted, a

new family whose aristocratie values (courage, honor) would transcend ethnie, religions or linguistic divisions.
A la frontière des "races" : la géographie morale de Maurice Barrès
Authors: Al-Matary Sarah
Published: February 2010

Off'ering a different angle to that of the diaries and Cahiers, the novel allo ws Barres'

style of nationalism ro present an idealized version of his racial views. Rendered subjective, the landscape makes the realisation of a double ambition, both poetic and ideological, possible: the ambition of re-creating a perfect image of Lorraine, as a proud Latin warrior holding out against the Germanie invader. The end-of-the-century Franco-German conflict

is thus portrayed as the avatar of the secular struggle between Civilisation and Barbarianism. But instead of taking up the Darwiniant stance, so appreciated by the enemy, Barrés chooses

to racialize the landscape, in order to establish the spiritual and " moral" superiority of the

vanquished.
D'un imaginaire à l'autre : boulevards balzaciens, boulevards flaubertiens
Authors: Goffette Jean-Dominique
Published: February 2010

Au cours de la décennie qui commence en 1830, les Grands Boulevards acquièrent une place importante en littérature. Balzac est le premier romancier à s’approprier cette figure urbaine pour la transformer en un lieu qui, propre à la société qu’il invente dans La Comédie humaine, n’est autre que celui où la ville de la France révolutionnée s’expose. Ce sens donné au lieu se modifie, lorsque Flaubert, reprenant ce topos, le remanie pour le métamorphoser en un lieu emblématique d’une ville-spectacle qui réduit l’individu à l’état de flâneur et de consommateur. Aussi, s’appuyant sur ces observations, cet article s’attache à montrer que la figuration littéraire du lieu, inventé par Balzac et revisité par Flaubert, procède d’un imaginaire topographique qui, chargé de valeurs identitaires, change d’un auteur à l’autre comme changent Paris et plus largement la société du XIX e siècle.
Du plancher au pavé : parcours et détours des comédiennes des petits théâtres
Authors: Michelot Isabelle
Published: February 2010

C’est dans le contexte d’une modification structurelle du métier de comédien due à l’augmentation du nombre des spectacles dès le début du XIX e siècle que se développe le mythe de la réussite par le théâtre, surtout pour les femmes. Ce nouveau mythe social tisse insensiblement des liens avec un mythe plus ancien, nourri de fantasmes archaïques, celui de la courtisane au pouvoir destructeur, la luxurieuse dévoratrice. Or, la réalité de la vie de la comédienne offre un point de jonction possible entre l’imaginaire de la prostituée, marginale absolue de cette société bourgeoise, qu’on relègue dans la nuit des consciences, et celui du théâtre, espace du plaisir licite, exposé en pleine lumière, où se presse un public toujours plus nombreux, avide d’épaules nues et de corsages attrayants. Une telle évolution ne pouvait échapper à l’observation des romanciers qui s’emparent de cette figure de comédienne que la réalité s’est chargée de rendre profondément ambiguë. Il s’agit donc d’explorer le réseau de signes dans lequel l’oeuvre inscrit le personnage de la comédienne, l’espace du Boulevard et de ses théâtres y jouant un rôle capital. Au reste, la visée romanesque sur la comédienne s’infléchit au cours du siècle dans une entreprise de dévoilement progressif des caractéristiques érotiques et transgressives de cette figure: la comédienne-prostituée se transforme en prostituée-comédienne, dès lors l’énigme se résout, et le mythe devient inopérant.
La mémoire des Grands Boulevards du XIXe siècle
Authors: Rearick Charles
Published: February 2010

This article analyzes the social representations that have structured the dominant historical discourses on the nineteenth-century Grands Boulevards. Two versions of the Boulevards history have taken hold in popular memory. The first, established in memoirs during the second half of the nineteenth century, held that the life of •the Boulevard” was most brilliant and prestigious back in the times of the •Dandys”, Balzac, and the café Tortoni •somewhere between the 1820s and 1860s. The memoirists disagreed about which decades were best, but they agreed that the era of glory was followed by many years of decline •from an elitist and xenophobic point of view •culminating in the most lamentable decadence around the turnof-the-century. This historical emplotment persisted in writings about the Boulevard until the years after the Second World War, when a new bright depiction of the era around 1900 emerged along with a new period label ••la Belle Époque”. Swept along by that appealing interpretation, popular historians after 1945 created and propagated the memory of a new golden age for the Grands Boulevards, portraying them as still lively and fashionable right up to the Grande Guerre.
Champfleury et le « matériel de l'art » : le langage de l'imagerie populaire
Authors: Vouilloux Bernard
Published: February 2010

In his History of Caricature, Champfleury takes means of not only poetics (for genders) and sociology (for social pratices), but also of semiotics (for forms) to describe at once specifities of popular art and images. Indeed, some developpments demonstrate than Champfleury, when he does not delude himself upon false evidences of an universal iconic language, is able to recognize semantic fading in images. His attention for formal properties of iconic medium must to be link with primitivism in the late XIXth Century and with freudian analysis of humoristic images published in the Fliegende Blätter.
L'économie, une science nouvelle ? Ce siècle avait trois ans...
Authors: Faccarello Gilbert
Published: February 2010

En matière d’histoire de la pensée économique, on a longtemps estimé que les considérations économiques des premiers auteurs n’étaient qu’incidentes, et étroitement liées à leur philosophie politique ou leurs préoccupations théologiques. Cependant, du XVI e au

XVIII e siècle, l’économie, ayant coupé tous ses liens avec la religion et la morale religieuse d’une part, et la politique de l’autre, aurait enfin acquis une autonomie disciplinaire. Or, depuis la fin des années 1970, un nouveau regard l’a emporté. On démontre que les écrits du XVII e et du XVIII e siècles ne peuvent pas être interprétés par rapport aux théories économiques ultérieures, et que leurs aspects philosophiques, politiques, religieux et moraux, loin de disparaître, restent essentiels pour leur compréhension. De Boisguilbert à Say en passant par Smith, c’est le même discours qui, sous un aspect purement économique, forme une doctrine politique et morale visant à modifier les pratiques et les institutions. Le XIX e siècle n’échappera pas lui non plus à cette réinterprétation
Romantisme économique et philosophie de la misère en France dans les années 1820-1840
Authors: Vatin François
Published: February 2010

When in 1897 Lenin attacked Sismondi and "economic romantism” which following Marx he characterized as "cheap sentimentalism”, he pointed out the existence of a trend close to literary romantism. Breaking away with the Manchesterian liberal thought, this trend originated from the anti-revolutionary stream and made a comeback to Catholicism. Three authors, among others, P. E. Lemontey, E. Buret and A. Leboyer then denounced these causes of poverty which were according to them the multiplication of manufactures, the introduction of machines and the division of work. It was only after the Revolution of 1848 that economic liberalism and "scientific” socialism put an end to economic romantism.

Que s'est-il passé dans les années 1870 ?
Authors: Etner François
Published: February 2010

Economics changed deeply around the 1870’. It adopted scopes and methods which are still in use nowadays. Their contradictors used the same arguments than to day’s. Why was the old "classical” theory rejected and why was the "neo-classical” theory the one which succeed it? Nobody knows, but it seems that the mathematization of the new concepts contributed a lot, even if it was belatedly, to explain their success.
Le néoromantisme dans les pays scandinaves
Authors: Segrestin Marthe
Published: February 2010

Alors que les années 1870 et 1880 ont été marquées par le mouvement de la «percée moderne» (moderne gennembrud) et la montée en puissance du naturalisme, orchestrés par le critique danois Georg Brandes, les littératures scandinaves ont connu un revirement dans les années 1890, beaucoup d’auteurs réclamant un retour au lyrisme, à une littérature inspirée, opposant à la tristesse naturaliste une nouvelle joie de vivre. Cependant, il s’agit ici de montrer que cette vague néoromantique des années 1890 prolonge le mouvement de la «percée moderne» bien plus qu’elle ne rompt avec lui. Dans cette perspective, Brandes apparaît comme une figure-clé: fossoyeur d’une conception étriquée et bourgeoise du romantisme et promoteur d’un romantisme libéral, inspiré par Heine, Shelley, Byron, il a influencé une nouvelle génération d’auteurs, pas seulement au Danemark, mais dans l’ensemble des pays scandinaves.
Le parcours d'un poète roumain du romantisme à la décadence: Alexandru Macedonski des Nuits de Musset au Calvaire de feu
Authors: Stead Evanghélia
Published: February 2010

The article examines the relation to the Muse and to the book of poems in the work of the Romanian poet Alexandru Macedonski (1854-1920) both in the particular literary context of nineteenth century Romania and according to the general tendency of decadent poetics to return to a romantic project both to aggravate and revise it. Moving from the poetry of Macedonski and his Nights cycle (twelve poems written in Romanian in some twenty years) through to the epicolyrical prose of his visionary novel The Calvary of fire (written both in French and in Romanian and published in France), the article studies successively the relation between Macedonski and Musset, the intensification and radicalization of the romantic model, the rise of irony and sarcasm, the attempt of Macedonski to live in a different country and adopt a different language, lastly the unbridled apotheosis of vaticinating lyricism in the syncretic and synaesthetic vision of The Calvary of Fire (1906). The imagery, the language and what is known of the manuscript of The Calvary of Fire, a novel that has received little critical attention, allow for uncommon views of the Muse, the body of the language, and the book, at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Technical Research Needs for Sustainable Buildings: Results from a Multidisciplinary NSF Workshop
Authors: Klotz Leidy , Loftness Vivien , Henze Gregor , Sailor David , Riley David
Published: February 2010

This article describes research needs for sustainable buildings as defined in a July 2009 National Science Foundation-sponsored workshop. This workshop brought together building researchers with researchers in the areas of distributed renewable energy and multifunctional materials to engage their expertise and identify overlapping research needs and opportunities. An overview of sustainable building design provided the broad context for discussion. This overview was followed by focused presentations in building control systems, advanced building envelopes, and systems and process integration. In addition, presentations on distributed renewable energy and multi-functional materials supported the participants in outlining and generating research needs that connect the topic areas. The primary outcome from this part of the workshop was the identification of key sustainable building research needs in: transformative measurements; passive strategies; regional solutions and living labs; systems integration; storage and cascades; adoption of international advances; and implementation and market transformation. These needs, along with associated technical challenges and potential impacts, are described in this paper to guide sustainable building research.
Burton School Rain Water Harvesting System—An Educational Tool with Sustainable Benefits
Authors: Leatherman Paula
Published: February 2010

Rain water harvesting is by no means a new technology. Growing up, I remember rain water tubs sitting near my grandmother's front porch as permanent fixtures. Grandma's ground well went dry long before I can remember, so rain water was her source of water for dishwashing, hair washing, and flushing the toilet. It was many years later, after I had left home, that Grandma finally had a new well put down, but until that time a bucket full of rain water worked just fine for flushing her toilet. Grandma continued to collect rain water after the new well was put down. I guess old habits die hard or perhaps it was just sustainable thinking on Grandma's part.

NOTE ON TRIGONALYS CANADENSIS, Hargtn.
Authors: Taylor Geo. W.
Published: February 2010

Wishing to obtain a series of males of our common ground wasps, I paid a visit on the afternoon of October 21st to a larqe nest of Vespa occidentalis, Cresson, that I had noted some time previously, near my house. The day was dull and the wasps sluggish, but quite a number of males and perfect females were crawling about the entrance to the nest. Among the wasps were some specimens of a conspicuous yellow and black Hymenopteron unlike anything that I had seen before. I secured nine specimens, all males, and on my return home easily made out by the help of Cresson's Synopsis that the insects belonged to the genus Trigonalys. The next step was to turn to Harrington's paper in the Can. Ent., XXVIII., page 108, and compare my specimens with the description of the unique Trigonalys canadensis. unfortunately, all my specimens were males, while Harrington's type was a female. Consequently the description did not quite fit, but on the following day I took three females and satisfied myself that the species I had found was the genuine T. canadensis.

CLASSIFICATION OF THE HORNTAILS AND SAWFLIES, OR THE SUB-ORDER PHYTOPHAGA
Authors: Ashmead William H.
Published: February 2010

This group was recognized as a sub-family by Newman as early as 1834, and as a distinct family by Haliday in 1839. It is represented at present by a single genus, Oryssus, Latr., which is apparenrly the stem from whence some of the parasitic Hymenoptera originated; i. e., the Megalyridae, Stephanidae, etc.

I have now, however, the pleasure of indicating below another genus, indigenous to Africa.

Although comparatively few species are described in the group, it yet appears to be widely distributed, species having been found in North, Central and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Aru, in the Malay Archipelago.

CLASSIFICATION OF THE HORNTAILS AND SAWFLIES, OR THE SUB-ORDER PHYTOPHAGA
Authors: Ashmead William H.
Published: February 2010

The Swedish entomologist, C. G. Thomson, first separated this family as a tribe in 1871. It had been placed previously with the Lydides, with which it had no affinity whatever. In the structure of the head, thorax and abdomen the species approach closest to the Hylotomidae, Perreyiidae and the Pterygophoridae. The multiarticulate antennae, however, separate them at once from the former; the distinct anal cell in the hind wings separates them from the Perreyiidae, which have none; while from the last, to which they are undoubtedly most closely allied, they are readily distinguished by having a distinct lanceolate cell in the front wings.
ON SOME SMALL BEES FROM ARIZONA
Authors: Cockerell T. D. A.
Published: February 2010

Some time ago Prof. C. F. Baker sent me a lot of small bees collected by Dr. R. E. Kunzé at phoenix, Arizona, May 12, 1897, “on willows and various low herbs.” I have examined these with interest, as they belong to genera not recorded from that region; they prove to be as follows:

(1.) Perdita salicis, Ckll., 1896.–♂. ♀. Very many specimens.

(2.) Prosapis messilae, Ckll., 1896.–A few, mostly males.

(3.) Halictus meliloti, Ckll., 1895.–One ♀.

(4.) Halictus pseudotegularis, Ckll., 1896.–On April 12, 1897, I took at flowers of Sisymbrium, in Messila, N. M., a single Halictus which differed decidedly from Illinois H. tegularis, but, to my surprise, almost agreed with the Mexican H. pseudotegularis, except that the wings were clear. Now, among the Arizona bees I find examples of pseudotegularis with slightly dusky wings, as in the type, of that species; the second submarginal cell is noticeably smaller than in tegularis, and receives the recurrent nervure further from its end.

NOTES ON JASSINI, WITH SOME NEW SPECIES
Authors: Baker C. F.
Published: February 2010

Tinobregmus vittatus, VanD.—This species occurs from Virginia to Brownsville, Texas, where it is frequent. The male differs most remarkably from the female. It is smaller and the elytra equal the abdomen in length. In the male the head and all below, with bases of femora, hind tibiæ entirely and tips of elytra are black; the pronotum and elytra except tips are milky white. The hind tibiæ equal the whole body in length.

♀—Length 6.5 mm. Form of cinereus: Head narrower than pronotum. Vertex distinctly angulate, a little longer than half width between eyes or half the length of pronotum; nearly flat, slightly broadly depressed on either side, the edge distinctly compressed. Front a half longer than wide, nearly two and a half times the length of the clypeus, sides rather strongly incurved at antennal sockets. Clypeus gradually enlarged towards the truncate tip, its length once and a half the width at tip, Width of pronotum nearly two and a half times the length, surface neither punctured or wrinkled.
A RARE ABERRATION OF VANESSA ANTIOPA
Authors: Umax Henry H.
Published: February 2010

In figure 6 of the accompanying plate we hav a fair representation of a most interesting aberration of Vanessa Antiopa. This differs from the normal form in the most striking manner, all yellow of the border and the yellow markings on the cost at above being repalced by deep brown. Below, the border and the few yellow marking of the normal form are of a very smoky hue, though by no means as dark as above.
NOTES UPON SPHINX CATALPÆ AT COALBURGH, W. VA.
Authors: Edwards W. H.
Published: February 2010

I never had seen the imago of this species until the present year, and never saw the larva before 1896. Mr. Bruce tells me that it is a common species in parts of the Southern States, and that the eggs are laid in clusters, and the caterpillars are gregarious. In this paper I give simply my own observations. Early in August, 1896, I was asked what caterpillars were defoliating in Catalpa trees at Charleston, W. VA. It was said that some trees were completely stripped. I was unable to answer the question, as no caterpillar was shown to me. On my return home, I looked at my own Catalpa trees, and the first one that I happened on gave me a score or more of larva, one or two on a leaf, on the lower leaves of the tree. These larvae were three to four inches long, and evidently had passed their last moult. One young tree, perhaps ten feet in height, with a top six feet in diameter, had been completely stripped of leaves. I found a single caterpillar of Catalpœ on it, to shown what had done the mischief. I put the larvæ into a large flowerpot trvo-thirds filled with earth, and got, in a few days, some forty pupæ. Supposing these would go over to next year, I buried a few, and sent the rest to Mr. Bruce. In about two weeks he discovered that the imagoes had come out of his pupæ, and on examining mine the same result appeared.
A NEW SPECIES OF AEGIALITES
Authors: Linell M. L.
Published: February 2010

During his visit in 1896 to Robben Island, a low rock only 2,000 feet long, situated near the eastern coast of Sakhalin Island, in Okhotsk Sea, Dr. Leonhard Stejneger collected only two species of insects, both Coleoptera. One of them is a species of Bembidium, possibly new, but it should be compared with the numerous species from the mainland, which cannot be done at present. The other species belongs to the highly interesting genus Aegialites, and is described below as a new species. Aegialites Stejnegeri, Linell new species.
NEW SPECIES OF NORTH AMERICAN MYRMELIONIDAE.–I
Authors: Currie Rolla P.
Published: February 2010

Brachynemurus Coquilletti, new species.

Male.—Length, 33 mm.; expanse of wings, 44 mm.; greatest width of anterior wing, 5.6 mm.; length of antenna, 6 mm.; luteous, marked with dark fuscous; clothed with white hairs, thickly so on abdomen; apical segments of abdomen with some black hairs among the white ones.

Face flat, luteous, bordered above by a pitchy-black band separating the antennae and narrowly bordering them in front and on the outer side; a longitudinal median black line extends from this band almost to the clypeus. Circum-ocular area luteous, except along the anterior portion of the vertex, where it is fuscous, and on the margin next the eye, opposite the middle of anterior joint of maxillary palpiger, where there is a fuscous spot. Clypeus rather short, luteous, on either side anteriorly an impressed spot; above, a few black bristles. Labrum transverse, luteous; rounded laterally and narrowed anteriorly, nearly straight in front, where it is sparsely clothed with light-coloured hairs. Mandibles piceous, black at tips.
MANITOBA BUTTERFLIES
Authors: Heath E. Firmstone
Published: February 2010

As the result of last year's work I have an addition to make to the list of Manitoba Diurni, which appeared in this magazine about two years ago. On July 3rd, when driving across an outlying portion of my farm, in a flowery glade amongst some scrub I saw an anusual looking “fritillary” hovering over and settling together with Argynnis Lais upon some lillies in bloom. On netting it I found it to be a “green wing,” which has been determined by my friend, Dr. Fletcher, to be A. Edwardsii, In a short time I secured three or four more examples of this Western species from the same place. On the 7th July I found it again in a similar locality, about a mile south of where I had originally seen it, and secured some more specimens, all of which, except perhaps a couple whose wings were slightly chipped, were in good condition. I went out again on the 10th, but though Lais and Cybele were on the wing, I did not see Edwardsii. A correspondent at Brandon (in this Province), Mr. Boger, writes me that he also took one or two “green wings” this summer; Brandon being 60 or 70 miles to the N. W. of me. He was, when writing, under the impression that his was A. Nevadensis. It would be a very curious fact if both species (?) visited Manitoba at the same time, and it would look very much as though they were only varieties of one species. I have just noticed among my series one specimen that varies slightly from the majority, and is somewhat like the description given of A. Nevadensis…Colias Caesonia, did not again present itseif, though I saw in 1896 at least half a dozen specimens besides the two I caught.

Aleurodes mori, n. sp.

Egg.—Length, .16 mm.; width, 08 mm.; elliptical, curved, light brownish in colour, marked with minute polygonal areas; pedicel short, about one-tenth length of egg.

Larva.—Length, .43 mm.; width, .3 mm., varying somewhat; shape, elliptical; colour, whitish or yellowish white. Margin all around dentate, due to the usually short but acute incisions between the closely-set wax tubes. A very fragmentary marginal fringe frequently present; no submarginal rim as in pupacase.
A FEW CANADIAN LONGICORNS
Authors: Harrington W. Hague
Published: February 2010

Having prepared for the Ottawa Naturalist a list of the Cerambycidae occurring in this district, I find, among other Canadian material in my cabinets, the following species which appear worthy of record: For the Vancouver Island species I am chiefly indebted to my friend, Rev. G. W. Taylor, who resided near Victoria when the specimens were collected. Other material was collected by Mr. A. J. Hill, of New Westminster, B. C., and by Dr. Fletcher. Several of the species I captured when at New Westminster, etc., in 1888, and a few were received from Mr. T. C. Weston, of the Geological Survey, and from the late Capt. G. Geddes.
CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF MASSACHUSETTS COCCIDAE.—I
Authors: King Geo. B.
Published: February 2010

The published records of the occurrence of coccids in Massachusetts are so scattered and the number found to exist is so large, that it seems quite desirable that they should be brought together and published in one entomological journal. So far as I can learn from careful search of the literature up to January, 1896, there had been only 13 species recorded. Since then the list has increased to 74. A list of the 13 species is: Aspidiotus perniciousus, Mytilaspsis pomorum, Chionapis furfurus, C. spartinae, Aulacaspis bromeliae, Dactylopius adonidum, Phenacoccus aceris, Gossyparia ulmi, Orthezia insignis, Pulvinaria innumerabilis, Lecanium hesperidum, L. platycerii, and L. filicum. A check-list reference-list of the literature of Massachusetts Coccidae will be published in a supplementary article.
CABINET PEST DETERRENT
Authors: Norris A. E.
Published: February 2010

One of the most worrying things an entomologist has to put up with is that after carefully making a collection his most valued specimens are nearly eaten away, either with mites or the Dermestes beetle.

For the benefit of my brother enthusiasts, let me give briefly my personal experience. Last June captures at light were very good and numerous. Many rare insects were taken and set out. The settingboards were placed on a shelf. By the morning the contents of three boards were literally eaten away by large black ants, house flies, and the little black and orange beetle. If my thoughts had been candidly expressed I am afraid my reputation would have been irretrievably lost, so I hunted around for a remedy and was soon successful in finding one.
TWO NEW COCCIDAE OF THE SUBFAMILY LECANINAE
Authors: Hempel Adolph
Published: February 2010

Apparently related to Farmairia, Sign. ♀. Scale waxy, hard, brittle, cone-shaped with radial ridges and furrows. Antennæ five-jointed. Anal-plates curved; the two together forming a ring. Each plate is furnished with ten long hairs. Type, E. rugosa.

Edwallia rugosa, n. sp.

♀.—Scale white; wax hard and brittle, cone-shaped, having the appearance of a barnacle, and radially ridged or fluted like the shell of Pecten. The base is slightly oval in shape, being wider anteriorly than posteriorly; the anterior side is slightly convex, so that the top of the scale is caudad of the middle. A number of fine concentric rings run around the scale parallel to the base.
SOUTHERN NOCTUIDS AT RYE, N. Y.
Authors: Bird Henry
Published: February 2010

Remarks in a recent issue of this magazine concerning “A Southerner arrested in Canada” recall some of the additions made to my local list during the summer of 1898. In this instance also some stragglers from a lower latitude were welcomed among my catch. Not only a few Noctuids but some of the birds also bore a Southern aspect (I cannot be expected to pass the birds unnoticed), most unusual among the latter being the appearance of several blue herons that frequented the salt marshes here for the better part of the summer. These waders are more at home in the swamps of Florida, although this is not the limit of their northern migrations by any means, yet they are considered great rarities here by the local sportsmen.
THE SYNHALONIA OF CALIFORNIA
Authors: Fowler Carroll
Published: February 2010

The material for this study was collected by Mr. H. O. Woodworth and myself during the spring and early summer of 1898. At Berkeley the collecting was carried on in a systematic manner, so that the number of each species taken gives a fair representation of their relative abundance. S. albicans and S. Edwardsii are the only species heretofore recorded from California. The specis may be readily recognized by means of the following synopsis:

Abdomen with distinct, white bands.

THE BITE OF OTIORHYNCHUS OVATUS
Authors: Fletcher James
Published: February 2010

Otiorhynchus ovatus is an insect which, during the last decade, has become decidedly more numerous in Canada than was formerly the case. Little seems to be known about its habits. It has been sent to me occasionally with complaints of its attacks upon various crops. Among these may be mentioned injuries to the growing stems of potatoes, and also injuries to fruit in the fruiterer's shop. The beetles have been also sent in frequently as having been found in considerable numbers huddled together in dwelling houses late in autumn. Perhaps the most interesting complaint which has been made comes from Prof. W. L. Goodwin, of Queen's University, Kingston, who writes: “I send two specimens of a small beetle which caused so much annoyance in camps on Wolf Island, in the St. Lawrence, near Kingston, Ontario, in July last. It attacked us at night and bit with unpleasant severity.”
BOMBYX CUNEA AND SPILOSOMA CONGRUA
Authors: Smith John B.
Published: February 2010

The paper in the May number of The Canadian Entomologist on the above subject is very interesting, but does not, in my opinion, entirely conclude the subject. Dr. Fyles proves definitely a considerable range of variability in what he calls congrua, and what is without any doubt antigone, Strecker. It seems to be certain that there are two species having a very similar range of variation—the insect that we call the fall webworm in the larval stage, and the insect bred by Dr. Fyles. Of the variability of cunea there is no doubt. I had not been aware, heretofore, that antigone had anything like the same range.

In the matter of determining what species Walker had before him a number of factors must be considered, as we have not available for ready examination the actual specimens described. In the first place there but three examples, apparently similar, for no variations are mentioned; but all from Georgia, and there is a very considerable range of variation in size; that is, from 16 to 20 lines, or one-third of an inch in a small species.
