Clarence Weed has published a bibliography of the economic 

 relations of North American Birds [14] , the list of works being 

 much increased in usefulness by a brief summary of contents 

 after most of the entries. 



W. E. Hinds has monographed the North American Thysano- 

 ptera [6]. Up to the middle of 1902, only twenty-six species had 

 been described, of which sixteen are considered valid or properly 

 known ; these are now increased to thirty-four, embraced by 

 twenty-two genera. The descriptions are detailed, and are pre- 

 ceded by analytical tables and extended remarks on the general 

 structure of the order, development, economic importance, &c., 

 and are concluded by a bibliography. A curious misprint, 

 " phyllogeny," occurs more than once, and a serious deficiency 

 in the omission of generic references (now unfortunately too often 

 the case in monographic or revisional work), nor is there any 

 indication in the index as to new genera and species.
