A review of the paleontology and geology 

 of the beds in the vicinity of San Pedro, with 

 descriptions, figures, sections, and views of 

 the locality and a bibliography. Four hun-

 Treats of the family Myrmosidse, which is 

 divided into three subfamilies: il) Hradyno- 

 baeninse, (2) Myrmosinse, and (3) Apterogy- 

 niine. The Myrmosinae are again divided 

 into two tribes, (1) Myrmosini and (2) Chy- 

 photini. In all nine genera arc tabulated. 



Two new phytophagous Hyme- 



noptera. 



Can. Kid., xxxv, August, 1903, p. 233. 

 Describes Xiphydria erythrogaster and Cala- 

 mi utajohiisoni from New Jersey.

 superfamily Cynipoidea. III. 



Psyche, x. August, 1903, pp. 140-155. 

 Treats of the subfamily Xystina- and part

 Cynipinse, and (3) Ibaljinae. IntheSynerginse 

 8genera are tabulated, one. Synophromorpha, 

 being new. Doctor Ashmead subdivides 

 the CynipiiKe, or the true gall-makers, into 5 

 tribes: (l)Cynipini, (2) Rhpditini, (3) Pedia-
