There is one deficiency, a most important one in truth, but on 

 ■which we shall touch but slightly, trusting that it will speedily 

 be remedied : the total want of synonyms. We are aware that 

 Mr. Stephens proposes to supply this defect in a general Cata- 

 logue in which the necessary references will be given. No time 

 should be lost in producing such a publication ; for, until we 

 possess it, no one number of his present work can be regarded 

 as complete, since we have it not placed in our power to refer 

 from it to the works of others. 



The Coleoptera and the Lepidoptera have been first selected 

 for illustration as the most extensive and generally interesting 

 orders of the Mandibulata and the Ilaustellata. A portion of 

 each of them is given in every number. 



Die Schmetterlinge von Europa. ( Fortsessung des Ochsenheimer 

 'schen JVerks,) von Friedrich Treitscuke. Fimfter Band. 

 Erste und Zoseyte Abtheilunge. Svo. pp. 414, and 447. 1825. 



This continuation of the extensive work of the departed Och- 

 senheimer, on tlie Lepidoptera of Europe, is equally deserving of 

 commendation with the volumes which appeared during the life 

 of its original authour. It completes the Nuciitce, L,, of which 

 about fifty genera are described, and commences a synopsis of the 

 Geometras^ L. Many of the genera are new, and many novel 

 species are also added.

A PORTION of an excellent work on the Lepidoptera of France, 

 which has been for several years in a course of publication. The 

 descriptions are faithful, and the plates are admirably executed. 

 It has yet advanced no further than Noctua, L , the last number 

 which has reached us being occupied by the genera Jpamea, and 

 Mamestra. Ochs.
