of London. This fresh example of the Emberiza calcarata of M. Tem- 

 minck was taken by a bird-catcher, in September, 1 828, in the vicinity 

 of London, and its plumage so nearly corresponds with the description 

 given by Mr. Selby, at page 158 of the volume of the Transactions re- 

 ferred to, as to make any additional remarks unnecessary.

A Descriptive Catalogue of the Lepidopterous Insects contained in the 

 Museum of the Honourable East India Company, illustrated by co- 

 toured Figures of new Species, and of the Metamorphosis of Indian 

 Lepidoptera, Sj-c. By Thomas Horsfield, M.D., F.R.S., L.S., 

 and G.S., Sfc. 4to., Parts L and IL 



In a previous notice of this important Work, in which we confined 

 ourselves to an analytical exposition of the views advanced by Dr. Hors- 

 field in his Introductory Remarks, we gave an outline of the general 

 arrangement of the Lepidoptera propounded by the authour, enume- 

 rated the tribes into which he regarded the order as naturally divisible, 

 and explained the characters of each of the stirpes composing the first 

 tribe, that of Papilionida;. Having been induced by the novel and in- 

 teresting nature of the views which we had then to notice to extend our 

 analysis to a greater length than usual, we were compelled to defer that 

 portion of it which contained the commencement of the descriptions of 

 the genera and species of Lepidopterous Insects deposited in the East 

 India Company's Collection. The Second Part of the Descriptive Ca- 

 talogue having now appeared, we resume our analysis at the point where 

 our previous notice terminated.
