— The tenth instalment of the Revision continues the consideration of the 

 genera allied to Chaetecietorus, all of them belonging to the "Cryptorhyn- 

 chides vrais" of Lacordaire. Twelve genera, and thirty-eight species, inclu- 

 ding fifteen proposed as new, are described. — 2) The Birds of Norfolk and 

 Lord Howe Islands. By A. F. Basset Hull. — The aim of this paper is to 

 furnish a complete list of the birds known, either from previous records or 

 from personal observation, to breed in these Island groups, or as casual 

 visitors. The number of species actually known to breed at the present time 

 amounts to 29 for Norfolk and 21 for Lord Howe Island. — 3) Studies in 

 the Life-Histories of Odonata. No. 3. Notes on a new Species of Pliyllo- 

 petalia; with Descriptions of nymph and imago. By R. J. Tillyard, M.A., 

 F.E.S. — The species here named PhyUojietalia jjatncia, u. sp., was described 

 by the author in 1906, under the name of P. ajiollo Selys, Further investi- 

 gation has shown it to be possessed of a number of important peculiarities, 

 marking it out as a distinct species. The discovery of the nymph by Mr. 

 Keith Brown at Leura, Blue Mountains, is of the greatest importance to 

 ontogenists, as the specimen is the only known form of the Petalia-gron-p of 

 dragonflies. Evidence is brought forward, mainly on the form of the labium, 

 strongly supporting the view advocated by Dr. F. His that the Petalia-group 

 is not referable to the Cordul egasterinae at all (though at present placed 

 in that subfamily), but is an archaic remnant of the ti'ue Aescbinae.
