known firm of W. Junk, Berlin. It is gotten up in the same style as the Coleop- 

 terorum catalogus, which is now becoming familiar to coleopterists. This cata- 

 logue includes the species of the world and is complete in 92 pages. It will cer- 

 tainly prove of value to students of that family and they should know of its exist- 

 ence. — Entomological News, March, 1913. 



Baenes, W., and McDunnough, J. H. Contributions to the Natural History 

 of the Lepidoptera of North America: Decatur, 111. (to be obtained from Dr. "W. 

 Barnes). Vol. II, No. 1 — Illustrations of Rare and Typical Lepidoptera (con- 

 tinued), 31 plates, issued March 10, 1913; Vol. II, No. 3.— The N. American 

 species of the Liparid Genus Olene, pp. 47-76, plates 1-7, issued April 15, 1913; 

 Vol. II, No. 3— New N. Am. Lepidoptera with notes on described species, pp. 93- 

 146, plates 1-9. We were very glad, indeed, to receive the above additional num-

 the whole, are excellent and very helpful. 



Casey, Thos. L. Memoirs on the Coleoptera, IV; published by the New Era 

 Printing Company, Lancaster, Pa., issued Nov. 30, 1913, pp. 400. This fourth 

 Memoir is divided into two parts: I. — Studies in the Cicindelidse and Carabidae

 186 species a.re described as new (10 of which are from Canada), and 56 as new 

 subspecies; of these latter seven are from Canada. In Part II, 237 beetles are 

 described as new species (four of these are from Canada) and 21 as new sub- 

 species (none from Canada). 



Faull, J. H., et al. The Natural History of the Toronto Region, Ontario, 

 Canada: The Canadian Institute, 1913, 419 pp. In this most interesting volume 

 (received 13 Sept., 1913), chapter XIII, is devoted to Insect Galls of the Vicinity 

 of Toronto (By Dr. A. Cosens), and chapter XXII to Insects and their Allies 

 (By Dr. E. M. "Walker). In this latter chapter, which occupies pages 295 to 403, 

 lists are presented of insects, in the various orders, which are known to have been 

 collected in the district of Toronto. Altogether 2,488 species are listed, as follows: 

 Orthoptera 61; Dermatoptera 1; Plecoptera 2; Ephemerida 12; Odonata 60; 

 Hemiptera 92; Neuroptera 8; Trichoptera 5; Coleoptera 1,079; Lepidoptera 619; 

 Hymenoptera 263; Diptera 249. Unfortunately, entomologists are few in Toronto, 

 and comparatively little systematic collecting- has been accomplished outside of 

 two or three of the better known orders, and even in these the work has been con- 

 fined largely to certain families. The lists presented are of much value and will 

 it is hoped lead to greater zeal in collecting so that many additions may be made. 

 FoLSOM, J. W. Entomology with special reference to its Biological and Eco- 

 nomic Aspects ; Second Revised Edition, with four plates and 3'04 text figures, 

 Philadelphia: P. Blakeston's Son & Co., 1913; price $2.25. 



The new revision of this very useful book contains only 402 pages as com- 

 pared with 485 pages in the first edition. This is due to the fact that the type 

 form has been enlarged to 4J^ x 7 inches; the paper is also a little thinner. Much 

 additional information is given in the new volume. Chapters I to VI remain with 

 the same titles; chapter VII on "Origin of Adaptations and of Species'' is omit- 

 ted; chapters VIII and IX, correspond to VII and VIII of the new edition; in 

 the latter, chapter IX "Transmission of Diseases by Insects" is new; chapters X, 

 XI, XII and XIII remain with the same titles. Additions have been made to 

 the bibliography at the end of the volume. The coloured plate illustrating pro- 

 tective mimicry among butterflies does not appear in the Revision.
