the second edition of which was puhhshed in 1901. Genera are dis- 

 cussed at some length, and the descriptions of species are ample. 

 The dipterous fauna of Denmark appears to he closely identical with 

 that of our islands, and, as the work under notice is printed in 

 English, it should secure the attention of British students of this 

 Order of the Insecta. 



A Preliminary List of Hertfordshire Diptera. By A. E. Gibbs, F.L.S., 

 F.E.S., and Philip Barraud, F.E.S. 

 We are indebted to the authors for a reprint of this very useful 

 list. It was published during the year in the ' Transactions ' of the 

 Hertfordshire Natural History Society (vol. xiii. pt. iv. pp. 249-276). 

 Except as regards the Pulicidse, a list of which is contributed by the 

 Hon. N. Charles Rothschild, a very large proportion of the species 

 mentioned were obtained by Mr. Albert Piffard, who presented 

 his collection of Diptera to the British Museum. In the matter of 

 identification of the species the authors acknowledge much assistance 

 from the Rev. E. N. Bloomfield and Mr. E. E. Austen. 



The Genera of the TortricidcB and their Types. By C. H. Fernald, 

 A.M., Ph.D. Pp. 1-68. Amherst, Mass. : Press of Carpenter 

 and Morehouse. 1908. 



An exceedingly interesting and highly valuable compilation, com- 

 menced some twenty years ago and added to from time to time up to 

 present date. The author, however, does not consider it yet com- 

 plete, but he publishes it in the hope that any errors or omissions 

 may be made known to him. Even as it is it will most certainly be 

 of very great utility to everyone interested in this intricate subject.
