Lepidoptera Indica. By F. Moore. — We have seen the first five parts 

 of this grand work, and the first thing noticed was that the natnes of tlie 

 species figured were not on the plate, but were referred to the text by 

 numbers. This impairs the value of the work very miich, and is an end- 

 less nuisance to the working lepidoptertst. This great fault also occurred 

 in Rhopalocera Malayana. We can't understand why practical entomolo- 

 gists, who get out works, make this mistake. To see how this should be 

 done we refer to the " Biologia Central!- Americana" and the works of 

 Staudinjier, Romanoff, Saalmiiller, etc. Thus far forty fine colored plates 

 have been published illustrating the subfamily Euplceinae, in which the 

 author includes the old genera Hestia, Danais, Euplcea, divided into a 

 great many new ones. This will be an e.xceedingly valuable work to 

 those seeking an aid to identification.
