148 NEW WORKS OX ENTOMOLOGY. 



Then follow— 



" Description of the Imago ; 

 " Description of the Larva ; 

 " Geographical Distribution ; 

 " Synonymy ; 

 " Remarks on the Synonymy ; 



And 



Observations of Authors;" 



and. the same detailed account is given for each species ; those of 

 recent discovery being fortunately blest with the very briefest 

 synonymy, and thus not requiring &o lengthened a notice as species 

 of the antiquity of Aurella and Anomalella. 



The first idea (afterwards developed into this -work) originated 

 with Mr. Douglas on the 9th of April (Professor Zeller's birth- 

 day), 1852, as recorded in the Entomologist's Companion, 2nd 

 Edition, p. 101. The actual idea was put into writing in the spring 

 of 1853, and made generally known in January, 1854. In October. 

 1855, Vol. I. was published. 



The following Entomological Works of considerable im- 

 portance have lately been published on the Continent.

This is a very useful work, the Coleopterous portion is written by 

 M. Leon Fairmaire, the Lepidopterous portion by the late M. A. 

 Pierret ; thirty-four pages are devoted to the Coleoptera, eighty- 

 eight to the Lepidoptera— the modes of catching, and localities fre- 

 quented by the various species are very instructive to the English 

 Entomologist, as many insects which, guided by this work, he 

 might probably find with ease, are reckoned amongst our greatest 

 rarities.* 



* I have imported several copies of this work, with which I shall be 

 happy to supply any Entomologist at the price of 2s. 3d. each.
