Francis Walker, of the British Museum, has lately published a supple- 

 ment to his Catalogue of Hemiptera ; also the first part of a general list of 

 Diptera. Copies of these pamphlets may be had from 1'.. \\\ Janson, 28 

 Museum Street, London, W. C, England. 



We have received a copy of a Memorial to the Legislature of Mas- 

 sachusetts from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, setting 

 forth the desirability of a new and thorough survey of the state in which 

 besides the usual geological matter, there should be " full descriptions 

 and truthful illustrations of the animals and plants, including their natural 

 history, transformations, and relations to man and his requirements, said 

 reports to be prepared with special reference to an intelligent use by the 

 people." The State could not make a wiser use of its funds. We heartily 

 wish the memorialists success, feeling sure that in such a publication 

 Entomology will receive its due share of attention.
