236 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Part 3 contains a paper on the distribution of North American 

 Lichens, by Heny Willey, and seven papers by Mr. Grote, on our Lepi- 

 doptera. In one of these, " Descriptions of Noctuidse principally from 

 California," there are descriptions of twenty-five new species, besides 

 numerous interesting notes on many previously described. We trust that 

 this excellent publication will meet with that cordial support from 

 Entomologists which it deserves. 



Synopsis of the Histeridce of the United States. By George H. Horn, 

 M. D., Philadelphia, 8vo., p.p. 87, with one plate. 



We are indebted to the author for a copy of this synopsis, a most 

 valuable contribution to our knowledge of the Histeridse. We sincerely 

 hope that this elaborate publication may do much towards clearing up the 

 obscurity which has so long attached to many of the species composing 

 this difficult family of Coleoptera. 



Intimation. — A letter from Mr. J. Behrens, San Francisco, Cali- 

 fornia, with several interesting papers received from other esteemed con- 

 tributors, are unavoidably deferred until next month for want of space.
