Considers that dytiscus attaches itselfwith its anterior 

 tarsi by virtue of a secretion from the tarsi, and not 

 because it produces a partial vacuum with the disks of 

 its tarsi; compares this mode of attachment with the 

 like mode of adhesion in other beetles and in flies, 

 where the tarsi are provided with glands which open 

 into the tubular hairs of the pulvilli; figures the anterior 

 foot of dyliscies inarginalis and its so-called suckers.

Abstract, by W. A. Kellerman. (Journ.

Puccinia malvacearnm has caused the extinction of 

 certain species of ;/ialvaceae^in regions where it has 

 been introduced, and consequently has exterminated or 

 caused a change of food-habits of .species of insects 

 which feed upon these plants; in a i)art of South Aus- 

 tralia this fungus has nearly caused the extinction of 

 lavalera plebeja, and with its disappearance also dis- 

 appeared the beautiful beetles of the genus lamprima 

 tliat visited the flowers of the latter in mvriads.
