168 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Gryllides, Locustariae, Acridii and Forficulariae. The several parts as 

 originally published have been reprinted in a pamphlet of 84 pages. Mr. 

 Scudder has also published (Psyche, vol. ii.,p. 154) a short list of Oithop- 

 tera collected in Appalachicola. 



Entomological Notes, No. vi., by Mr. Scudder, issued the past year, is 

 mainly a reprint of papers upon the Orthoptera originally published in the 

 preceding year. The accompanying index furnishes a ready means of 

 reference to the species contained in the several papers. 



In the Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers for [878, Prof. Cyrus 

 Thomas reports upon a small collection of Orthoptera made in the 

 Explorations and Surveys of the San Juan region of Colorado. The same 

 volume contains a report by Mr. H. Strecker, on the Hymenoptera, Lepi- 

 doptera and Coleoptera from the same region, in which several new- 

 species of Heterocera are described, and a few figured. 



Of our Entomological serials, the Canadian Entomologist continues 

 to sustain its high reputation, and to merit the contributory aid which it is 

 receiving from nearly all of our American Entomologists, and from some 

 of our European friends. 



Psyche, the organ of the Cambridge Entomological Club, is near the 

 completion of its second volume. With the commencement of its third 

 volume such improvements are promised as will render it of still higher 

 importance to every student of American Entomological literature. 



The Transactions of the American Entomological Society have reached 

 the seventh volume. Although the Society has become a section of the 

 Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, it is proposed to continue 

 the publication of the Transactions as at present as rapidly as the limited 

 means available for the purpose will permit. 



The Bulletin of the Brooklyn Entomological Society is continued. That 

 of the Long Island Society has been discontinued. 



The second volume of the Butterflies of North America, by Mr. 

 W. H. Edwards, is in course of publication. It continues to maintain 

 the high reputation which it has commanded, from its admirable delinea- 

 tions of forms and coloring, and the exceedingly interesting new 

 biological details presented. 



The North American Entomologist is a new candidate for favor and 

 support, of which two numbers have appeared. It is a monthly periodi- 

 cal, published at Buffalo, N. Y., under the editorial charge of A. R. Grote.
