M. PAUL NOEL calls attention in the December mmero of the FeuiHe des jennes inttiiralistes, to a new mode of collecting nocturnal lepidopteran He employs a lantern, hung about a metre and a half above the ground, as a permanent attrm tion, and then burns, from time to time, a small piece of magnesium tape, to attract specimens front a greater distance to a point where they can see ond come to the less brilliant light. AC- cording to M. Noel, a half-metre of tape suffices for the evening, costs but tittle, and gives re- markably good reeulta.
