Syria and Asia Minor,' which is already published, and which will 

 shortly be followed by a volume on the ' Tineina of Southern Europe ;' 

 and he gives us a hint that it is proposed at no distant date to issue a 

 volume on the ' Tineina of Scandinavia,' and another on the ' Tineina 

 of the Alps.' 



Such announcements quite overpower one, and the amount of work 

 they imply is overwhelming: I can only express my sincere „and 

 ardent wish that Mr. Stainton's life and health may be spared to 

 fulfil his intentions. 



With regard to the volume before me it is sufficient to say there 

 appears no falling off; it fully maintains the character of its prede- 

 cessors and of that character I have already spoken in no measured 

 terms of praise. Edward Newman. 



* Hie Tineina of Syria and Asia Minor.'' By H. T. Stainton, 

 F.L.S. London : Van Voorst. 1867. 



A table of the contents of this brochure is all that I can give: it 

 treats of insects of which I possess little or no knowledge, and there- 

 fore critical remarks are out of the question : I can only say that the 

 work appears to be compiled with Mr. Stainton's usual care and 

 diligence.
