HARRIS, Dr. Thaddeus William. Catalogue of the Insects of Massachu- 

 setts. (In Prof. Hitchcock's Report on the Geology, Botany, and 

 Zoology of Massachusetts.) 



Prof. Hitchcock's Report had two editions ; in the first (1833), 

 Dr. Harris mentioned only the generic names of the insects, adding 

 the number of species belonging to each genus. In the second edi- 

 tion (1835), the specific names are also given; many of them are 

 ;mere collection names, having never been published.
