168 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



• that is sure to appeal to a large circle of readers; it is reasonable in 

 price, and will, we hope, assist in swelling the increasing body of 

 investigators now devoting their attention to a branch of ento-* 

 mology that was so long neglected. C. G. H. 



Monograph of the Bombycine Moths of North America — In- 

 cluding their transformations and origin of the larval markings 

 and armature. Part III, Families Ceratocampidae, Saturniidae, 

 Hemileucidse and Brahmseidae. By the late Alpheus Spring 

 Packard. Edited bv Theodore D. A. Cockerell. Vol. XII, 

 First Memoir, National Academy of Sciences, Washington, 

 D. C, 516 pages, 4to., 113 plates, 34 of which, depicting 

 larvae, are coloured. 



This sumptuous volume contains the remainder of Dr- 

 Packard's work on the Bombycine Moths, two other parts having 

 been published some years ago. At the time of his death in 1905, 

 the author left a large amount of material which he had prepared 

 with a view to the completion of his monograph; though neces- 

 sarily incomplete, the great value of this material rendered it 

 highly desirable that it should be made available, and thus the 

 present publication was brought about. It is in great measure due 

 to Prof. Cockerell that the undertaking has been so satisfactorily 

 accomplished. The species described are by no means confined to 

 North American forms, but have been drawn from various parts 

 of the globe, as the author evidently had in view the preparation 

 of a complete monograph of the Saturnioid Moths of the world. 



The Australian Zoologist. — The Royal Zoological Society 

 of New South Wales has begun the publication of a magazine, of 

 which the first part has been received. It is edited by Mr. Allan 

 R. McCulloch, and printed at Sydney. The number contains 36 

 pages, large octavo and four plates. The contents include papers 

 on Australian birds and bird sanctuaries, fish, the photograph and 

 description of a live chimpanzee, and the following papers on 

 entomological subjects: The Mallophaga as a possible clue to 

 Bird Phylogeny; A Monograph of the genus Tisiphone (butter- 

 flies), and A New Victorian Araneiad.
