 under one heading, but from special circumstances it is impossible to make any 

 further comparison that would be of service. Each has its value in differing 

 directions.

Jules Liclitensteln. — It is with great regret we announce the decease, on the 

 30th November last, at Montpellier, of this well-known entomologist, at the age of 

 68. In the summer of last year he had a paralytic stroke, but no immediate danger 

 was anticipated. To the readers of this Magazine his name will have become 

 familiar by the numerous f)apers and notes he published in its pages on the habits of 

 Aphides, Cynipidce, Tenthredinidce, &c., always written in English, and printed 

 almost as written : indeed, it is probable he was at one time resident in England. 

 Lichtenstein was, we think, a descendent of the old German naturalist of that name, 

 who published much in many departments of Natural History, and whose earlier 

 writings appeared in the Transactions of the Linnean Society of London. The 

 subject of this notice was a vineyard-proprietor, and his entomological energies seem 

 to have been especially aroused by the appearance of the Phylloxera, when he was 

 about 50 years of age. Since that time, and down to his illness, he was a most 

 industrious worker and observer of phytophagous insects generally, with great 

 originality of deductiou. Probably we may again have occasion to refer to his 

 labours when more precise data as to his early life come to hand. This short notice 

 is scarcely a fitting tribute to the memory of a man so thoroughly sui generis in all 

 his writings.
