Dr. Needham, with three collaborators, has given us a valuable 

 second instalment of his investigations upon the aquatic life of 

 New York State (11). The first instalment * treated of the 

 aquatic fauna of the Adirondacks ; the second deals with that of 

 Ithaca, and consists of a preface by Dr. Felt (p. 199) ; " Station 

 Work of the Summer of 1901 " (pp. 200-4) ; " Food of Brook 

 Trout in Bone Pond " (pp. 204-17) ; " Life Histories of Odonata, 

 suborder Zygoptera " (pp. 218-79) ; " Some New Life Histories 

 of Diptera " (pp. 279-87)— all by J. G. Needham ; " Aquatic 

 Chrysornelidas and a Table of the Families of Coleopterous 

 Larvae " (pp. 288-327) by A. D. MacGillivray ; " Aquatic Nema- 

 tocerous Diptera " (pp. 328-441) by O. A. Johannsen ; " Sialididae 

 of North and South America" (pp. 442-86) by K. C. Davis; 

 explanation of plates, index, &c. (pp. 487-517).
