are $ and 9 f oue species already described by himself as L. dispar ; but 

 as the names of Koch are earlier, that of albipes should be retained for the 

 species. 



[Curtis (Royal Agric. Soe. Journal v, 228-233) has noticed the injury to 

 agriculture caused by several of this order. Julus pulchellus, Lch., londi- 

 nensis, Lch., terrestris, L., punctatus, Lch., latestriatus, new species, pilosus, 

 Newp., and Polydesmus complanatus, are specified.] 



CHILOPODA. Koch (ibid.) has figured some new German species : 

 Oryptops ochraceus, sylvaticus, Litholius dentatus, calcaratus, communis. 



Some of the species enumerated by Leach, viz. Scolopendra alternans, sub- 

 spinipes, and trigonopoda, have been illustrated with more complete descrip- 

 tions by Gervais. (Ann. Soc. Eut. Er. ii, p. 21.) 



Decerfs (Compt. rend, six, 933) notices a case in which a living Scolo- 

 pendra (electrica) was expelled in sneezing, by a young woman of nineteen, 

 after she had been suffering, for the two years previous, from acute neuralgia 

 below the eye. 



Qy. if some mystification was not practised on M. Decerfs in tins case. 



ENTOMOSTRACEA. 



Koch (Panzer Deutschl. Fna. pts. 185, 186, 187; Deutsch. Crust., &c., 

 35, 36, 37) has figured many German species, and Zaddach has enumerated, 

 and for the most part described more particularly, those that have been 

 observed in Prussia. 



PHYLLOPODA. 



Koch (ibid. 185 or 35) has given two new species of Branchipus, auritm 

 and melanurus. 



CLADOCERA. 



Several new genera in this section are given by him also : Eunica (name 

 preoccupied) for Lyncens longirostris, Mull., Pasithea for Daphnia rectirostris, 

 Miill., and Scalicerus for Monocuhis pediculus, L. Of new species, Daphnia 

 congener, serrulata, ephippiata, mwcronata, ventricosa, angulosa, media; Lyncem 

 leucocephalus, rostratus ; Pasithea gibba. 



Zaddach (ibid.) has noticed five species <AI>aplmia, the last of which, D. 

 brachyura, Z., is identical with Pasithea rectirostris, Koch ; 1 of Sida, under 

 which both the generic and specific characters are given more particularly ; 

 5 of Lynceus, and 1 of Polyphemus.
