We have lately received Vol. i. No. i, of the Entomologist's Record 

 and Journal of Variation, edited by J. W. Tutt. This fills a very impor- 

 tant gap in entomological literature, and is both interesting and useful 

 from a scientific standpoint. We wish it all success and a long life. 



In THE Comptes-Rendus des Seances de la Societe Entomolo- 

 GiQUE DE Belgique for Feb. i, 1890. — A Forel has a note on " A parasite

 The forty new species from the Argentine Republic here described are

Memoirs of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard 

 College, Vol. xvii. No. j, is Mr. L. Cabot's. — "The Immature State of 

 the Odonata, Part III. — Subfamily Cordulina," with six plates. The 

 nymphs of twenty-four species of Cordulina and eleven species of Pantala

We have received from M. Ernest Olivier his excellent Catalogue of the 

 Coleoptera of the Department of the Allier, France, forming Part I of 

 Volume II, of " Faune de I'AUier," published at Moulins, 1890. Faunal 

 lists of restricted areas are always of value as supplying data for geo- 

 graphical distribution, and such is M. Olivier's work, which fills 375 pages, 

 and is provided with a valuable index — table of genera.
