be the same as Plusiodonta (?) purpurascens, to which (correcting the 



generic name to Caipe) they give the priority. We claim, however-, that 



our name, C. Canadensis, do stand, as our description was communicated to 



the Ent. Soc. Philada. on Feb. 13, 1865, and published in their proceedings 



for March, 1865 (vol. iv. p. 213), whereas Mr. Walker's description appeared 



subsequently in the Brit. Mus. Cat. (xxxiii. p. 842), which bears date " July 



1, 1865."

BOOKS RECEIVED. 



Le Naturaliste Canadien (No. 2, Janvier, 1867), contains several valuable and 

 interesting papers, among which we may mention those on the Potatoe Disease 

 (illustrated), the Beaver, the Study of Natural History, &c. We are pleased to 

 notice the valiant manner in which the talented Editor takes up the cudgels in 

 defence of his favorite science, and the summary manner in which he deals with 

 the errors of non-scientific journalists, following in this way the notable example 

 of our esteemed contemporary, the American Entomologist.
