 Further notes on Australian COLEOPTERA, by Rev. T. Blackburn. 



A CONTRIBUTION TOWARD A KNOWLEDGE OF THE MOUTH PARTS OF 

 THE DIPTERA, by Prof. J. B. Smith (from Trans. Am. Ent. Soc.). This 

 is an interesting essay of twenty pages with twenty -two figures; very little 

 has been written on the anatomy of the mouth parts of DIPTERA, and 

 Prof. Smith's paper is an important addition to the literature of the sub- 

 ject. He states that he studied each organ in its entirety, in its rela- 

 tion to others, and in its development, and that the studies were morpho- 

 logical rather than anatomical.
