Miscellaneous Notes. — A portion of 

 volume 1 of Psyche which has long been out

 Complete sets of Psyche or anv one or more 

 of the volumes can therefore be obtained at 

 five dollars per volume. The number of cop-

A list of Labrador insects will be found in 

 Dr. A. S. Packard's recent book The Labra- 

 dor Coast (N. Y., Hodges) on pp. 385-396 

 and 446-447. He catalogues 233 species di- 

 vided as follows: Arachnida 11, Myriopoda 

 1, Orthoptera 1. Odonata 2. Hemiptera 4, 

 Platyptera 1. Plectoptera 3, Trichoptera 2, 

 Coleoptera 63. Diptera 11. Lepidoptera 108, 

 and Hymenoptera 26. Notes of distribution 

 and a few dates are added. 



Entomologists should not overlook a holi- 

 day book of unusual interest for them, no- 

 ting the out-door and in-door observations of 

 a rambler who knows how to use both eyes 

 and pencil, not to say pen. It is a volume 

 by the artist William Hamilton Gibson, 

 called "Sharp eyes, a rambler's calendar of 

 fifty-two weeks among insects, birds, and 

 flowers" (Harper's, $5.00). Both text and 

 illustrations, the latter on nearly every page, 

 are by the same hand; better, more living 



pictures of our insects have never been 

 given, especially where they are represented 

 in flight, when they rival the pictures by 

 Giacomelli ; and yet all are "process cuts." 

 The volume is excellent reading as well, and 

 tells the stories of the lives of our common 

 insects in a charming way. It is an admir- 

 able book to stimulate the young observer. 



In a superb monograph of the trees which 

 furnished the Baltic amber, with eighteen 

 finely colored quarto plates, Conwentz of 

 Danzig publishes some notices of amber in- 

 sects, especially of such as were injurious to 

 the species of Pinus which yielded amber; 

 among other things he figures the borings of 

 a beetle referred by Kolbe to Anthaxia and 

 the larval burrows in the dead wood which 

 Brischke looks upon as the work of a Sciara. 



Dr. Juan Gundlach has just finished the 

 printing of the second volume of his Ento- 

 mologia Cubana which contains the Hymen- 

 optera, Neuroptera, and Orthoptera. 



Prof. John B. Smith's promised List of 

 Lepidoptera of Boreal America has been 

 issued by the American entomological soci- 

 ety; it extends to 124 pages and includes 

 6020 nominal species, of which 640 are but- 

 terflies. 229 Sphingidae and Sesiidae, 590 the 

 families allied to Lithosiidae and Bomb\ci- 

 dae, 1861 Noctuina, 651 Geometrina, 63^ 

 Pyralidina, 429 Tortricina. and 986 Tineina. 

 It follows the style of Grote's Check list of 

 American moths.
