the admirable precision and vivid adaptation \vhicli this art has 

 now attained. 



Mr. W. H. Edwards has commenced a second series of his 

 splendid illustrated work on ' The Butterflies of North America.' 



Mr. Hewitson has described, in the ' Annals of Natural History,' 

 several new species of Diurnal Lepidoptera taken on the march 

 to Coomassie by Lieut. Bell, of the 2nd West India Eegiment ; 

 also a new genus from Madagascar, allied to Atella, and some 

 new species from the Andaman Islands ; Mr. Atkinson having 

 figured and described two others from the same locality (Papilio 

 Mayo and Euplsea Andamanensis), in the last part of the ' Illus- 

 trated Proceedings of the Zoological Society' for 1873. 



In the same part of these * Proceedings,' Mr. A. G. Butler has 

 given a " Revision of the Genus Protogonius," which has long 

 been supposed to consist of one extremely variable species. This 

 he considers highly improbable. He therefore describes all the 

 known forms under the designation of species, while indicating 

 their remarkable resemblance to several of the Heliconoid 

 Danaidse. 



In the subsequent parts of these 'Proceedings' (i. — iii., 1874), 

 are descriptions of Siamese Lepidoptera, by Mr. Herbert Druce ; 

 of new species from Cashmere, by Mr. Frederick Moore ; from 

 the South Sea Islands, by Mr. A. G. Butler; and from Costa 

 Rica, by Messrs. Butler and Druce. Also, in the 'Annals of 

 Natural History,' of three new species of Sesia (whereof two from 

 Japan), by Mr. A. G. Butler ; and of new genera and species of 

 iEgeriidge, by the same author. 



Descriptions of various new species of Diurnal Lepidoptera 

 from the West Coast of Africa and other localities, by Messrs. 

 Hewitson, Druce and Butler, appear in the 'Entomologist's 

 Monthly Magazine ; also " Notes on Japanese Butterflies, with 

 Descriptions of new Genera and Species," by the Rev. R. P. 

 Murray. 



A " List of the Species of Fulgora, with Descriptions of New 

 Forms in the Collection of the British Museum," by Mr. A. G. 

 Butler, appear in tlie ' Illustrated Proceedings of the Zoological 

 Society" (Part 1, 1874); two species from India being also sub- 

 sequently described by the same author in the ' Annals of Natural 

 History' (August, 1874).
