LEPIDOPTERORUM CATALOGUS. W. Junk of Berlin announces that he 

 has undertaken the publication of a catalogue of the Lepidoptera of 

 the world, similar to the Coleopterorum Catalogus, of which 32 parts 

 have been issued in 1910 and 1911. The catalogue of Lepidoptera 

 will be edited by Prof. Ch. Aurivillius, of the Swedish Academy of 

 Sciences, and H. Wagner, formerly assistant to Prof. Standfuss and 

 now at the Entomological National Museum of Berlin. Each of the 

 61 families of Lepidoptera will be entrusted to a leading specialist. 



HUBNER'S EXOTIC BUTTERFLIES. A prospectus signed by W. F. Kir- 

 by, dated Chiswick, London, April, 1911, announces a new English 

 fac-simile edition of Hiibner's "Sammlung exotischer Schmetterlinge" 

 (1806-1838?) in three volumes with 490 hand colored plates, togeth- 

 er with the "Zutrage" to the same by Hiibner and Geyer (1818-1837) 

 in one volume with 170 hand colored plates. The original edition of 

 the "Sammlung" contained hardly any text, while that of the "Zutrage" 

 was complete. This new English edition is limited to 50 copies. The 

 publishers are V. Verteneuil and L. Desmet, 60-62, rue T'Kint, Brus- 

 sels. Mr. Kirby says "In writing letter press to Hiibner's 'Sammlung 

 exotischer Schmetterlinge,' I have paid special- attention to the correct 

 identification of the species figured, and in one or two cases I have 

 found it necessary to propose new names. I have not given descrip- 

 tions, but sufficient synonymy and explanations to bring Hiibner's 

 plates into range with later publications."
