 In the pages of this periodical, the following, among other articles, have

No. 135, January: — (Couch, Jonathan) Some further Remarks on Habits 

 of Bats, in continuation of his diary in Zoologist, p. 3,936 ; (Sclater, Philip 

 Luttley) List of Birds exposed for Sale in the Market at Rome.

 tinued from page 4,001), Terra Incognita ; (Greene, Rev. Joseph) List of 

 Lepidoptera captured near Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. We see by

 nearly as often as the genus Nothodonta. (Scott, John) A few notes on 

 the necessity for rearing the Tineida?, and other small groups ; (Hogan, 

 Arthur R.) List of Coleoptera found in the neighbourhood of Dublin (se- 

 cond part). 



No. 137, March: — Entomological Society, President's Address; an able

 directed to them. Miscellaneous Notices, &c.

 Notices of Books — (Shacht, Dr. Herman) The Microscope in its Special 

 Application to Vegetable Anatomy and Physiology ; (Leeman, Berthold,

 Club. Among other notices we have here a new Irish Equisetum recorded, 

 and forming the third striking form of Equisetum discovered in Ireland, 

 the other being E. Mackaii and E. Wilsoni; the new plant has been 

 named E. Moorii, in honour of its discoverer. It may be distinguished 

 from E. Hyemale, the species it most resembles, by the long, loose, white 

 sheaths, with white, setaceous teeth, besides the stems are longer, much more
