European Ruorpatocera.—We have received a specimen 
copy of a list of ‘Huropean Rhopalocera, with their varieties and 
principal synonyms,’ by W. F. de Vismes Kane, M.A., M.R.I.A. 
(London, Macmillan & Co., 1885); printed on one side only for 
labelling purposes. 
AMERICAN Brrerues.—Henshaw’s list of the Coleoptera of 
America, north of Mexico, just issued, includes 9288 species. 
Crotch’s check-list, published in 1874, contained 7450 species. 
Previous to these came the lists published by Le Conte; and in 
1880 Austin published a supplement to Crotch, bringing the 
number of nominal species up to 9704, which recent studies have 
greatly reduced. —‘ Science,’ vi. 382, October 30, 1885.
