INDEX TO THE KNOWN FOSSIL INSECTS OF THE WORLD, including My- 

 riapods and Arachnids, by Samuel H. Scudder. This is Bulletin of the 

 U. S. Geological Survey, No. 71. This is a large work of 744 pages, and 

 the author states that he believes it to be practically complete, and says: 

 " With the view of furthering study in the too neglected field of fossil in- 

 sects, I transmit for publication the card catalogue of described fossil 

 insects which I have used for twenty years, and kept constantly up to date.'' 

 The great value of this book as a work of reference can be seen at a 

 glance, and all workers in this field as well as entomologists in general, 

 are indebted to Mr. Scudder, whose industry and talent as a writer are 

 phenomenal.
