When there are not sufficient titles of current papers to fill the space allotted to the Record, earlier ento- 
mological publications will be recorded. In this way it is expected to include, finally, in the Record, all titles 
of papers not included in Hagen’s Bibliotheca entomologica, which treat of North American or general 
entomology, and all papers on entomology published in North America. 
Corrections of errors and notices of omissions are solicited.

A general and comparative view of the metamorphoses 
of the nervous system of insects of the different orders. 
The author’s researches were upon ‘*62”’ species of insects, 
distributed as follows: hymenoptera, oes coleoptera, 12; 
lepidoptera, 8; diptera, 12; archiptera, 2; neuroptera, 1:

tus, and formica rufa. ~ G: D. (1451)

Distribution of nerves and ganglia. Some insects have 
no infraoesophageal ganglia. Convolutions of the brain 
are found in every order of insects, and sometimes differ 
between individuals of the same species. The size of the 
supraoesophageal ganglion is very different in different in- 
sects, and is larger the more the faceted eyes are developed. 
It is incorrect to call the supraoesophageal ganglia alone 
the brain; the development shows that the supraoesopha- 
geal and infracesophageal ganglia, together, form the brain, 
or head-portion of the nervous system. The nerves of the 
labrum do not arise from the under surface of the supra- 
oesophageal ganglion, but from the oesophageal ring. Dis- 
tribution of the thoracic and abdominal ganglia. The 
number of ganglia differ, not only in different species but 
also in the different individuals of a species, according to 
sex. The last abdominal ganglion is not, in all insects, the 
most complicated; the penultimate is often the most com- 
plicated abdominal ganglion (e. g., in the worker of apis 
mellijica); the first is the most complicated abdominal 
ganglion in some insects (e. g.,in carabus). No insect, vor 
larva, has as many nerve-ganglia as it has body-segments ; 
only in embryos do the number of body-segments and 
ganglia agree. Sympathetic system. Classification and 
explanation of the principal types of nerve-systems in em- 
bryos, in larvae, andinimagos. Morphological signification 
of different ganglia. Literature (44 titles). Illustrates the 
different types of nerve-system by 25 schematic figures ; 
figures the nerve-systems of bombus muscorum and apis 
mellifica. G: D. (1458)
