accounted for. Eminent artists have been engaged to make 

 drawings from specimens for tlie volume now proposed, who 

 have already produced some beautiful and faithful delinea- 

 tions. Being desirous of making the work as complete as 

 possible, I shall esteem it a favour if any naturalist who may 

 have observed or may possess any galls, wlierever found, not 

 hitherto known or described, would communicate with me, 

 and furnish any specimens, drawings or particulars respecting 

 them." I sincerely hope that my readers will give a ready 

 response to Mr. Armistead's request.

(Concluded from page 137). 



Chrj'somela sanguinolenta, Linn. — The form of this insect 

 found in Scotland appears to be probably the real typical 

 form of Linneus, since it is the Swedish one. The Central- 

 Europe form, described by Suffrian as his type, differs in 

 several minute particulars. The investigations of Dr. Baly 

 leave but little doubt that C. distinguenda, SfepJi., and its 

 near ally, C. marginalis, Dufis., must also be regarded as 

 forms of this specie?;, notwithstanding certain tolerably con- 

 stant differences of colour and sculpture. 



C. Hyperici, Foist. — This species is well described by 

 Forster under this name, which is moreover very applicable, 

 and was in constant use by Stephens and other authors. 



Lina longicollis, Suffr. — Suffrian himself points out that 

 the English species was referable to his L. longicollis. The 

 true L. Tremulce, Fabr., should have a thorax like L. Populi, 

 but be smaller and without the apical black spot. 



Phaedon Arraoracia3, Linn. — M. Suffrian has ably defended 

 his views on the nomenclature of this genus in a recent 

 article in the ' Stettin Zeitung.' 



Lyperus betulinus, Fourc. — M. Joannis, in his Monograph 

 of this group, has shown that the true rufipes, Fabr., differs 

 from the above in having entirely red legs, &c., and is appa- 

 rently much rarer.
