commenctd in 1880, devoted to the figuring of type-specimens in 

 all orders, and appearing quarterly. 



I am obliged to consider such publications as Miss Ormerod's 

 annual ' Eej)orts on Injurious Insects ' outside my strict province, 

 and they here receive mention, just as will happen with analogous 

 Reports issued in other countries. 



It is impossible to notice for Great Britain, as for other 

 countries, the annual reports of local entomological Societies, or of 

 entomological sections of Societies devoted to general Natural 

 History, &c. 



FRANCE. 



Annales de la Societe E7itoniologique de France, the oldest 

 existing Entomological Society as a continuity, the publications 

 of which have appeared with commendable regularity, notwith- 

 standing the periods of severe political troiibles that have more 

 than once shaken the country since the founding of the Society. 

 Including that for 1886, 54 annual vols, have appeared (the first 

 having been published in 1832) in series, the first consisting of 

 11 vols., the succeeding of 10 vols, each, and the vol. for 1886 

 is the 3rd of the 6th series. In addition there have been supple- 

 mentary vols, devoted to special subjects ; the whole forming a 

 mine of entomological information. The fortnightly ' Bulletins ' 

 are distributed as soon as published to members on payment of a 

 small fee. 



Bevue d'Entonjologic, the organ of the Societe Francaise 

 d'Entomologie, published at Caen. A monthly Journal of general 

 Entomology, commenced in 1882, the current vol. being the 5th. 

 It is edited by M. Fauvel. 



L'Abeille, a Journal devoted to Coleoptera (notwithstanding its 

 title), edited by our colleague I'Abbe de Marseul, commenced in 

 1864 ; the current vol. is the 20th. 



ITALY. 



Bullettino della Societa Entomologica Italiana, commenced in 

 1869, and forming yearly vols, of 4 parts each ; thus the vol. for 

 1886 is the 18th. 



BELGIUM. 



The publications of the Belgian Entomological Society were 

 commenced in 1857 under the title Atinales de la Societe entomolo- 

 gique Beige, but after the 7th vol. the title was slightly modified, 

 ' de Belgique' being substituted for '■Beige.'' Thej' appear in 

 annual vols., and that for 1886 is the 30tli, in consequence of an 

 additional vol. (the 24th) having been published in 1880, on the
