hriei resumes in French, published at Pesth. It is chiefly devoted 

 to local insects, and succeeded, in 1884, another Journal of a some- 

 what similar title that had only a brief existence. Indeed, I fear 

 the later one has met a similar fate, for I have seen no recent 

 numbers. 



SWITZERLAND. 



Mittheilu7igen der Schweizerischen entomologischen Gesell- 

 schaft. — The first Heft of this very useful publication (then, as 

 now, edited by Dr. Stierlin) was published in February, 1862. Ten 

 Hefte form a vol., and the current vol. is the 7th. Tourist ento- 

 mologists are everywhere in Switzerland during the summer 

 months, but native entomologists are unfortunately too few, con- 

 sidering the almost unequalled advantages (for Europe) the country 

 possesses. And these few are widely separated ; therefore there is 

 only an annual gathering. Natm-ally the contents of the 

 ' Mittheilungen ' largely concern Swiss insects, but there is much 

 other matter. 



Societas Entoviologica. Journal de la Societe entomologique 

 inter nationale. — Under this high-sounding title I received, in 1886, 

 two numbers of a periodical (the first dated the 1st April) pub- 

 lished at Zurich. I have seen no more, but believe it continues to 

 appear. In No. 2 there is an elaborate list of rules, in French, 

 German, and English (the latter being a literary curiosity). These 

 two numbers contain some useful biological and local notes, and 

 also descriptions of new species of Iclineuynonidce. 



SWEDEN. 



Entoniologish Tidskrift, issued bj' the Entomological Society of 

 Stockholm, This is under the editorship of Dr. Jacob Spangberg. 

 Four parts form a vol., and the first was published in 1880. The 

 vol. for 1886 is the 7th. The contents largely, but not exclusively, 

 concern Scandinavian insects. The Swedish text is supplemented 

 hy copious resumes in French. There are periodical lists of all 

 papers on Entomology published in Sweden, Norway, and Finland, 

 which are very useful, for some of the publications in which 

 these appear are not well known in this country. 



RUSSIA. 



Horce Societatis Entomologicce Eossica;, commenced in 1861, 

 and continued in annual vols. A certain portion of the contents 

 are published in Latiu, German, and French, but much is wholly 

 in ilussian. The plates are usuallj' excellent. Ihe same Society 

 also issues (I believe in annual vols.) another publication, which 

 may be rendered as Acta (" Trudi"), wholly in Eussian. It is not
