INSECTA LEPIDOPTERA. 179 



the text gives a systematic survey of the European Lepidop- 

 terous Fauna. In the arrangement, however, the European 

 species only are considered, and probably in consequence of 

 its containing too many subdivisions, it does not afford a 

 very distinct view. That a critical care is not paid, 

 throughout, to the admission of species, is evident from the 

 circumstance that an artificially blackened Deilephila Eu- 

 phorbifB has been figured as D. Esulce. The outline-figures 

 specialty intended to represent the generic characters are 

 very good. Two Parts have appeared in 1843, each with 

 10 plates, but the work is in rapid progress. 



A notice has been already given in the last year's 

 Report, on the contents of the Parts of Freyer's ' Neue 

 Beitrage zur Schmetterlingskunde/ which appeared in 

 1843.

 Kaspari.
