BihUograpldcal Notices. 



The Introduction details the materials used in the composition of 

 the volume, proceeds to discuss the structure, habits, classification, 

 &c. of the llhj^nchota, illustrated by a series of excellent diagrams, 

 and concludes with a synopsis of the families of the Heteroptera. 



Mr. Distant's name is a sufficient guarantee for the care and 

 accuracy with which the systematic portion of the book has evidently 

 been compiled ; and a word of praise is due to Mr. H. Knight for 

 the series of 249 illustrations in the text, which are among the 

 most excellent which we have seen. They are without colour ; but 

 this deficiency is less noticeable in Rhynchota, with their simple 

 colours and patterns, than in the case of Lepidoptera, for instance, 

 with their strongly marked colours and complicated patterns, for 

 the adequate representation of which coloured figures are often 

 almost indispensable.
