REVIEW: INSECT-FOES OF FRUIT-TREES. 147 
Egilops is restricted to the first, and C. /atifolia to the last or 
Clifton bed. How they originally came to such unlikely positions 
remains to be discovered. I have not so far had the opportunity of 
searching similar ground higher up the Derwent, and the late rains 
have so far affected the level of the stream as to render further 
investigation for the present season impossible.—Aug. 21st, 1896.

THE book now before us is divisible into two parts nearly equal in 
size. The first, purely horticultural, does not concern us as a natural 
history journal. The second part, called ‘ Appendix,’ and extending 
from pages 143 to 237, with the sub-title ‘Insect and other Pests 
injurious to Fruit Trees, with their life-histories, and the means used 
to check their increase,’ is a comprehensive sketch of economic 
entomology, illustrated by numerous figures. They are arranged 
as to the best methods of combating them. The book itself is 
encased in a green cover sprinkled over with leaves of the autumnal 
or russet hue, and to the fruit grower will doubtless be foun 
May 1897.
