Pulicide, &e.), apparently established for practical convenience. 
Then certain Acaridea, Araneidea, Myriopods, Isopods, Annelids, 
and Mollusca, are more or less cursorily treated of. These are 
specially noted as noxious, but not insects. 
The whole work is published in five parts, each of which can 
be purchased separately :—(1) The introduction, containing forty- 
six woodcuts, price 4s.; (2) the Coleoptera and Hymenoptera, 
containing ninety-eight woodcuts, price 6s.; (3) the Lepidoptera, 
containing eighty-three woodcuts, price 5s.; (4) the Diptera, 
Neuroptera, and Orthoptera,, containing fifty-six woodcuts, 
price 4s.; (5) the Hemiptera, Mallophaga, Acaridea, &e., con- 
taining forty-three woodcuts, price 5s.;—complete, 23s. We 
hardly think the last two parts maintain the high standard of the 
first three. Hach part has a separate index, and a ‘“ general- 
register” is given in part five.. This is followed by a list of plants 
and objects, with the insects that attack them,—often likely to 
prove a great help to the practical man. 
Failing a new edition of Westwood’s ‘ Introduction’ collated 
with Curtis’s ‘ Farm Insects,’ both brought well up to date, we can 
but wish one of two things—either that Professor Taschenberg’s 
book had appeared in English, or that all British entomologists 
were sufficiently good German scholars to read it. 
Illustrations of Typical Specimens of Lepidoptera Heterocera in

American Tortricide. By Lord Wausinenam. London: . 
printed by order of the Trustees, 1879. to. 
WE have before us a copy of this work issued by the Trustees 
of the British Museum, who are to be congratulated upon being 
the means of showing the world a portion of the valuable work 
done in North America by Lord Walsingham in the years 1871 
and 1872. In addition to describing a great number of new 
species captured during his collecting tour in the Western States 
of North America during those years, Lord Walsingham has, in 
this book, redescribed such of the late Mr. Francis Walker’s 
types in the British Museum as were imperfectly described. 
Those who study the relation of a particular group of Lepidoptera 
from all parts of the world will hail this contribution to the 
Natural History of the Jortricide with more than pleasure. ‘I'he
