Stilbia anomala on Cannock Chase in abundance. Until last year it was 

 not known to be a Midland insect, and then it was found by Messrs. Thome-

 specimens, and this year it was equally common.

REVIEWS. 



A Series of Thirty Coloured Diagrams of Insects Injurious to Farm Crops. 

 Drawn from Nature by Miss Georgiana E. Ormerod, in conjunction 

 with Miss Eleanor A. Ormerod, Consulting Entomologist of the 

 Royal Agricultural Society of England. London : W. & A. K. John- 

 son, 5, White Hart Street. 

 These diagrams, which are 30 in. by 22 in. in size, are published in 

 sets of six, each set dealing with insect-pests belonging to various Orders. 

 For example : Set 1, ' Common Insect Attacks," illustrates — 1. Ox Warble 

 Fly. 2. Horse Bot Fly. 3. Large White Butterfly. 4. Cockchafer. 

 5. Turnip Flea Beetle. 6. Onion Fly. The larva, pupa, imago, and 

 sometimes the ovum, are shown both of the natural size and also greatly 

 enlarged, and nicely printed in colours. A concise life-history of the insect 

 depicted and practical directions for its prevention or destruction, by Miss 

 Eleanor A. Ormerod, are printed at the foot of each sheet. 



Not only will these diagrams be of considerable value to the agriculturist 

 by enabling him to recognise his enemies, and instructing him how to 

 destroy them, or to prevent attack, but, among other purposes for which 

 they are suitable, they will be found useful iu science class teaching. 



Photography applied to the Microscope. Bv F. W. Mills. Small 8vo, 

 pp.62. London: Ilifre& Son. 1891. 

 To those wishing to become initiated into the mysteries of Photo- 

 Micrography, we can recommend this cheap little practical guide. The 

 opening chapter, which is written by Mr. T. Charters White, deals with 

 the preparation of Microscopical Objects, and the necessity of perfectly flat 

 mounting is insisted on. Chap. II. is devoted to a consideration of Micro- 

 scopical Apparatus, and from this we learn that any one possessing a micro- 

 scope with ordinary English objectives can add the necessary photographic 

 requirements for general purposes at a cost of from £2 to £3. In Chap. 

 III. advice is given on the Choice of Photo-Micrographic Apparatus, whilst 

 in the remaining four chapters, the Dark Room and its Fittings, Exposure, 

 Development, and Printing are dealt with, and full instructions given under 

 each head. There is also a list of works on the subject.
