It is gi-atifying to find that Entomology is making way steadily 

 at the Antipodes. In addition to the ' Transactions of the Ento- 

 mological Society of New South Wales,' of which two volumes are 

 completed, each in four parts, Mr. George Masters has published, 

 at Sydney, three parts of a ' Catalogue of the described Coleoptera 

 of Australia,' 8vo, pp. 193, 1871 and 1872. Each part price 3s. 6d. 

 The same writer has also published ' A List of the Australian 

 Longicornes, chiefly described and arranged by Francis P. 

 Pascoe, Esq., with additional localities and corrections," by the 

 author. 



Descriptions of new species of Coleoptera from Oran, by Herr 

 Eeitter, have appeared in the ' Berliner Entom. Zeitsch.' 



The Curculionidee collected by Dr. Gundlach in the Island of 

 Cuba have been described by Dr. Suflfrian, in the ' Ai-chiv. flir 

 Naturgeschichte.' 



Mr. Pascoe has given us, in the ' Annals of Natural History,' 

 another series of descriptions of new and interesting Exotic 

 Coleoptera, for the most part belonging to the family Brenthidae. 



A memoir on the European Clythridte, by Dr. Kraatz, appears 

 in the ' Berliner Ent. Zeitschrift.' 



A revision of the European species of the genus Malthodes, by 

 Herr von Kiesenwetter, appears in the ' Berliner Entomol. Zeit- 

 schrift.' 



A revision of the European species of the genus Meligethes, 

 by Herr E. Eeitter, has been published as an appendix to the 

 ninth volume of the ' Verhandlungen ' of the Natural History 

 Society of Brunn, and a supplement to the same memoir, in which 

 the South African species of the same genus have been described 

 by the same author, appears in the ' Berliner Entom. Zeitschrift.' 



The 'Memoirs of the Peabody Academy of Science' opened 

 with an excellent monograph of the large stylated fossorial crickets, 

 forming the genus Gryllotalpa and a new genus separated there- 

 from to contain the species with only two fingers on the anterior 

 tibife (Scapteriscus). Twenty-three species are very carefully 

 described. 



M. Henri de Saussure, our newly-elected Honorary Member, 

 has published the fourth fascicule of his ' Melanges Orthoptero- 

 logiques,' in which he has revised the generic arrangement of the 

 families Mantidaj and Blattidse, and has added the descriptions of 

 a number of new species of both those families.
