THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 159 
 Psychomorpha Epimenis Drury. Part ii. contains coloured figures of no 
‘less than twenty-one additional species, many of them new and rare. 
The price of each part is only one dollar, or with plain instead of colored 
plates, seventy-five cents. (Address:—R. H. STRETCH, P.O. Box 1802, 
San Francisco, Cal.) / Berk 
The third work to which we desire to draw: attention is entitled 
“ Lepidoptera, Rhopaloceres and Heteroceres, Indigenous and Exotic ; 
with descriptions and coloured illustrations, by Herman Strecker,” Read- 
ing, Pa. It is the intention of the author to issue the work in monthly 
parts, each containing one plate. As yet we have received only the first 
number, which illustrates a new species of Emperor Moth, Platysamia 
Gloveri Strecker, and exhibits both male and female of the insect, with 
upper and lower surfaces. ‘The price of each part is but fifty cents. 
We sincerely trust that all these handsome publications will meet with 
such hearty support from the entomologists of America as will encourage 
their public spirited authors to carry them on till the work is fully com- 
pleted.
