seuted a great deal of iiiformatiou which will be of value to the agricul- 

 turists of Australia. This is ouly the first part of a work which bids 

 fair to be extensive. As an introductory number this contains an intro- 

 duction to entomology taken from Miss Ormerod's Manual and a brief 

 account of the classification of insects taken from Westwood's Intro- 

 duction. This matter is followed by an account of the noxious insects 

 of Victoria which attack the Apple, Pear, Apricot, and Cherry. Some 

 fourteeti species are mentioned, of which six occur in this country, 

 namely, the Woolly Aphis, the Codliug Moth, the Oyster-shell Bark 

 Louse ot the Apple, the Red Spider, the Pear Slag, and the Pear-leaf 

 Blister-mite. The matter concerning insecticides and spraying appara- 

 tus is brought together at the close of the volume. 



Dr. Weed's last Ohio Bulletin.*— We have received the last bulletin pre- 

 pared by J)i\ C. M. Weed as entomologist of the Ohio Station. It in- 

 cludes three articles : (1) Miscellaneous Experiments in the Control of 

 Injurious Insects; (2) Some Common Cabbage Insects ; (3) Three Im- 

 ported Clover Insects. Under the head of miscellaneous experiments 

 are given the details of trials of the arsenites and the Bordeaux mixture, 

 carbonate of copper, and Paris green, the arsenites and lime spraying 

 for the Plum Curculio, whitewashing for the Rose Bug, experiments 

 with remedies for the Striped Cucumber Beetle, and tobacco as an in- 

 secticide. The experiments are all interesting, but no new results have 

 been obtained. The second article treats of the Imported Cabbage 

 Worm, the Cabbage Plusia, the Zebra Caterpillar, the Wavy-striped 

 Flea-beetle, and Cabbage Cut- worms, while the three imj^orted clover 

 insects are the Root Borer, the Seed Midge, and the Hay Worm. Our 

 figures of all these insects are reprinted, and their treatment include^ 

 nothing new.
