REVIEWS. 
Elementary Teat Book of Entomology. By W. F. Kirsy, F.L.8., F.E.S. 
2nd ed. Revised and augmented. Pp. 281; 87 pl. London: 
Swan Sonnenschein & Co. 1892. 
We are glad to see a second edition of this popular Introduction to 
Entomology. The work has already been favourably reviewed, and we 
have now nothing to add, beyond noting that some errors which had 
crept into the first edition have been carefully eliminated. ‘The addition 
of a comprehensive Index to the work greatly enhances its value to the 
student. 
The Lepidoptera of Dorsetshire. By C. W. Dauz, F.E.8. 2nd ed. 
8vo, pp. 76. Dorchester: Henry Ling. 1891. 
Tue first edition of this County List was published in 1886, and 
since that time no less than 180 additional species have been observed 
in Dorsetshire; of this number, 47 belong to the Gelechide and Nepti- 
culide alone. Altogether Mr. Dale enumerates 1482 species as found 
in the county; it is to be noted that only eight species of the Diurni 
seem to be absent. ‘This list will be exceedingly useful, not only to 
those entomologists who may reside in or visit Dene, but to all 
who are interested in local faune. 
Butterjlies of the Riviera. By Franx Bromitow. 8vo, pp.115. Nice:

The times of appearance of each species and localities where found are 
mentioned. In most instances the earlier stages are referred to, and 
the life-histories of many species are given. ‘There is an Index of 
Species, Varieties, and Synonyms, and a list of the larval food-plants, 
with their English names.
