31. Bulletin No. 5. New Series. U.S. Dep't of Agriculture, Divi. 

 sion of Entomology. — Insects afTecting domestic animals: an account of 

 the species of importance in North America, with mention of related 

 forms occurring on other animals. Prepared under the direction of the 

 Entomologist, by Herbert Osborn, Professor of Zoology and Entomology, 

 etc. Washington, 1896. A few months ago we had the pleasure of 

 noticing briefly another bulletin of this series, on Household Insects, re- 

 ferring to it as one of, if not the, most useful ever issued by the Depart- 

 ment. We have in the present publication one to which we can apply 

 terms of equal praise. In its 302 pages, 170 text figures and five plates 

 are described and illustrated numerous parasitic insects in a systematic 

 zoological order, under the headings of Diptera, Siphonaptera, Hemip- 

 tera, Mallophaga and Arachnida. Although remedies are mentioned in 

 connection with each parasite throughout the work, a separate chapter is 

 devoted to preventives and remedial measures in general. Following is 

 a list of parasites according to hosts, a bibliography and an index. Thanks 

 for such a valuable treatise are due to Prof Osborn, to the late Prof. 

 Riley and to Dr. Howard.
