236 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Part 3 contains a paper on the distribution of North American 
Lichens, by Heny Willey, and seven papers by Mr. Grote, on our Lepi- 
doptera. In one of these, “ Descriptions of Noctuidæ principally from 
California,” there are descriptions of twenty-five new species, besides 
numerous interesting notes on many previously described. We trust that 
this excellent publication will meet with that cordial support from 
Entomologists which it deserves. . 
Synopsis of the Histeride of the United States. By Grorcr H. Horn, 
M. D., Philadelphia, 8vo., p.p. 87, with one plate. 
We are indebted to the author for a copy of this synopsis, a most 
valuable contribution to our knowledge of the Histeridæ. We sincerely 
hope that this elaborate publication may do much towards clearing up the 
obscurity which has so long attached to many of the species composing 
this difficult family of Coleoptera. 
INTIMATION.-—A letter from Mr. J. Behrens, San Francisco, Cali- 
fornia, with several interesting papers received from other esteemed con- 
tributors, are unavoidably deferred until next month for want of space.
