Entom. Soc. Strange to say, each claims continuity since 1857, 

 the vol, for each, pnbhshed in 1886, being styled the BOth. The 

 old Society (or title) is now mostly representative of the Berlin 

 Zoological Museum, the younger Society (or title) those who are 

 more or less antagonistic : there is news to the effect that our 

 colleague Dr. Kraatz, who represents the German Society, has 

 recently presented his collections and a large sum of money to the 

 Stadt Museum of Berlin. It is not for me to enter into the merits 

 or demerits of the disagreement. Both publications continue to 

 give to the scientific world memoirs of great value, just as was the 

 case when they were one. The contents of the Deutsche ent. 

 Zeitschr. mainly concern Coleoptera, those of the Berl. ent. 

 Zeitschr. are more varied. There appears to be room for both, but 

 the confusion caused through both claiming continuous existence 

 is very great. 



Zeitschrift fur Entomologie, published at Breslau by the Silesian 

 Entomological Society. A comparatively small Journal under the 

 above title was started in 1847, and existed down to 1861. It was 

 resuscitated in 1870, and continues. 



Entomologisclie Nachrichten. — This fortnightly Journal, origi- 

 nally edited by Dr. Katter, and published at Putbus, commenced 

 in 1875, 24 numbers forming a vol., but after the close of the 9th 

 vol. in 1883 it became the property of Messrs. Friedliinder und Sohn, 

 of Berlin, edited by Dr. Karsch, and continues. 



Correspondenzhlatt des entomologisclien Vereins ^Iris'' zu 

 Dresden. — Of this three numbers have appeared, dated October 

 1884, May 1885, and March 1886, respectively, largely devoted to 

 exotic Lepidoptera. The Society and the publication appear to 

 have developed from a private entomological club established 

 in 1862.

 find amongst my notes an indication of this Society and publication 

 as recently established.

Wiener entomologisclie Zeitung. — An exceedingly useful and 

 well-illustrated publication commenced in 1882, and conducted by 

 well-known entomologists. Originally 12 parts formed a vol., but 

 latterly there have been 10 parts annually ; nevertheless the bulk 

 of the vols, has increased.
