216 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



will be found on the thirty-four plates on this most valuable and 

 exceedingly attractive book. These plates are of exceptional merit, 

 and have been reproduced from water-colour drawings by Mr. A. J. 

 Engel Terzi, which are, or will be, on view in the North Hall of the 

 Natural History Museum at South Kensington. In the notes, fur- 

 nished by Mr. Austen to accompany the plates, much information of 

 general interest concerning these insects is given, and technicalities 

 have been minimised. There are remarks on the life-histories of the 

 species, and on their distribution both in Britain and abroad. 



Transactions of the City of London Entomological and Natural History 

 Society for the year 1905. The London Institution, Finsbury 

 Circus. 1906. 



In addition to the usual interesting matter comprised in the 

 " Reports of Meetings," there are some capital papers in this little 

 volume of sixty-two pages. Mr. Louis B. Prout's contribution on 

 "The British Species of Perizoma (Emmelesia)" (20 pp.) is perhaps 

 the most important. Mr. Pickett's paper refers to the aberration of 

 Lycana (Polyommatus) corydon ; and the Rev. C. R. N. Burrows has 

 some informative remarks on Orgyia yonostiqma. 



Proceedings of the Hawaiian Entomological Society for the year 1906. 

 Pp.' 36, with Index and 2 Plates. Honolulu, 1906. 



Considering that this Society only came into being on December 

 15th, 1904, the inital volume of its Proceedings is a remarkably good 

 one. The main object of the Association is " to promote the study 

 of entomology, and to encourage friendly relations between those in 

 any way interested in the science." Up to date of publication the 

 membership was twenty. The President in 1905, and nominated for 

 1906, is Mr. Pv. C. L. Perkins; the Editors of the Proceedings are 

 Messrs. G. W. Kirkaldy and Otto H. Swezey. The two plates, which 

 are well executed, represent mouth-parts of Tenthredinidse. 



The Agricultural Journal of India. Agricultural Research Institute, 

 Pusa. Calcutta : Thacker, Spink & Co. 1906. 



We have received Parts 1-3 of this Journal, which is published 

 quarterly, and is the official organ of the Department of Agriculture in 

 India. The contents, which, in the present numbers, are chiefly of 

 importance to the agriculturist and economic entomologist, are, some 

 of them, contributed by others than the officials of the department. 

 The eighteen plates, one of which is a photographic group of officials, 

 and another comprises coloured figures of " Moths of Hairy Cater- 

 pillars," are exceedingly well done, and these, and the contents as a 

 whole, will be of interest to entomologists generally.
