Ever welcome is Mr. Stainton's ' Annual.' Should he 

 abandon it a gap in entomological literature would be 

 severely felt, unless some other devoted patron of the 

 Science supplied its place. The present 'Annual' is infe- 

 rior to none that have preceded it, either in the quantity or 

 quality of its contents; and I believe the only alteration that 

 can be spoken of as derogating from its value — 1 mean, of 

 course, the non-coloration of the plate — was a matter of 

 accident, and not of design. The contents are as under : —
