 Jackson's Glossary of Botanical Terms. Philadelphia, Pa. Very 



complete. 

 Asa Gray's Botany, revised edition. 



All of these contain glossaries, which have more or less 

 indirect bearing on general entomology. Jackson's " A Glos- 

 sary of Botanical Terms," especially, will prove useful. For 

 definitions of terms not contained in glossaries, see Comstock 

 and Kellogg, " Elements of Insect Anatomy " ; Packard's, "A 

 Text-book of Entomology"; Sharp's "Insects, Cambridge 

 Natural History " ; Comstock and Needham, " The Wings of 

 Insects" ; Comstock and Chujiro Kochi, "Anatomy of the 

 Head of Insects"; Comstock's "Manual for the Study of 

 Insects" ; Lugger's " Minnesota Reports," and LeConte and 

 Horn's "Classification of the Coleoptera." An enumeration 

 of more would be useless. The monographs of the different 

 families are very valuable, and all general works of any im- 

 portance are essential. 



On the North American Species of Oscinis. 



By C. F. Adams, University of Chicago, Chicago, 111. 



In addition to the table to the species I give descriptions of 

 fournew forms which I found in the Hough collection. It is 

 difficult to give all the species their proper place in the table, 

 but after examining material in the Hough collection, in the 

 collection of the University of Kansas, my own collection, and 

 that of the British Museum, I feel that there are few inac- 

 curacies in the following table. Other new species from the 

 West Indies are not included, as their descriptions are to 

 appear elsewhere.
