THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 107 
from the pen of Mr. Aug. R. Grote, viz.: ‘ Descriptions of new North 
American Moths,’ illustrated with a plate; ‘ Catalogue of the Sphingidæ 
‘of North America,’ ‘ Catalogue of the Zygænidæ of North America, and 
“ Conclusions drawn from a Study of the Genera Hypena and Herminia.’ 
This list of contents will, we trust, be sufficient to cause our Entomo- 
logical friends to send for the publication, and thus aid its permanent 
establishment. 
Monthly Report of the Department of Agriculture (Washington, D. C., 
April, 1873). The “ Entomological Record” in this number contains an 
allustrated paper by Prof. Townend Glover, on the Tobacco and Potato 
worms (JZacrosila Carolina and gaingue-naculata |. 
The Canadian Fournal (Canadian Institute, Toronto, May, 1873) and 
The Canadian Naturalist (Montreal: Dawson Brothers, vol. vil, No. 1) 
maintain their respective characters as literary and scientific periodicals. 
The Canada Farmer (Toronto, vol. x, No. 9—May 15, 1873) is now 
issued fortnightly instead of monthly, and is much improved both in form 
and matter. 
The Canadian Patent Office Record and Mechanics Magazine (Montreal: 
4G. E. Desbarats) is a new and attractive candidate for public favour. The 
first number, now before us, is profusely and handsomely illustrated ; it 
consists of two parts, the official portion giving a record of inventions 
patented at Ottawa during the preceding month, with illustrations of the 
majority—the present issue contains no less than 237 diagrams ; and the 
unofficial or magazine paper affording elaborately illustrated articles on 
Engineering, Mechanics, Manufactures, &c. The work is well got up and 
deserves to become a great success. 
Our limited space forbids our doing more at present than briefly 
acknowledging with thanks the receipt of the following publications :—

the Rural New Yorker, from New York; Zhe Prairie Farmer, Chicago ;
