Mr. Goss's lectures are to be published in the Transactions of the 

 Geologists' Association. 



The Trustees of the British Museum have published 'A 

 Catalogue of British Fossil Crustacea, with their synonyms and 

 the range in time of each Genus and Order,' by Henry Wood- 

 ward, F.E.S. (8vo, 1877), in which are recorded 197 genera and 

 1051 species and varieties found fossil in Britain, whereas in 

 Prof. Morris's ' Catalogue of British Fossils,' published in 1854, 

 there were only 81 genera and 306 species indicated. The great 

 majority of the species are referable to the Trilobites and 

 Ostracoda. 



In the 'PrimsBval World' of Dr. Heer, of Zurich, 876 species 

 of fossil insects are described. 



In the 'Geological Magazine' for February, 1877, a restored 

 figure of a fossil cockroach is given ; Mr. Etheridge has also 

 described Eurypterus Stevensoni from the lower carboniferous 

 series of Berwickshire ; and Mr. Woodward has an article on 

 Anthrapalcemon from the coal measures (= Apu2 duhius, M. -Ed- 

 wards). The same number also contains an article by Mr. Dawson 

 on a new species of the same genus from Nova Scotia and on 

 Homalonotus Dawsoni. 



We are indebted to Mr. J. H. Scudder for a continuation of 

 his memoirs on the fossil insects of the American tertiary 

 beds of the White River, of which former portions, in- 

 cluding the Coleoptera and Physopoda, have appeared in 

 the 'Proceedings' of the Boston Society of Natural History 

 (vols. X. and xi.), the 'American Naturalist' (vols. i. and vi.), the 

 ' Geological Magazine ' (vol. v.), and in Hollister's ' Mines of 

 Colorado.' In the present article, published in the ' Bulletin of 

 the United States Geological and Geographical Survey' (vol. iii., 

 August, 1877), the Hymenoptera (three species only), a consider- 

 able number of Diptera, especially referable to the Tipulidce, 

 including several new genera, various Coleoptera, five Hemiptera, 

 several Physopodans, and one Phryganea are described. In a 

 subsequent article, published in the same work, Mr. Scudder has 

 described two fossil Carahidce, belonging to the genera Loricera and 

 Loxandrus, from the glacial and interglacial strata of Toronto. 



The fossil insects of the tertiary beds at Quesnel, in British 

 Columbia, collected by Mr. G. W. Dawson, have been described 

 by Mr. S. H. Scudder, in the 'Report of Progress of the Geological
