  The 
  author, 
  commenting 
  on 
  the 
  list 
  of 
  insects 
  collected 
  by 
  

   Shishkin 
  in 
  trap-trenches 
  against 
  Hylobius 
  abietis, 
  points 
  out 
  that 
  

   it 
  has 
  never 
  been 
  observed 
  that 
  any 
  species 
  of 
  Carabus 
  would 
  devour 
  

   specimens 
  of 
  Hylobius. 
  He 
  mentions 
  that 
  Carabus 
  menetriesi 
  was 
  

   also 
  found 
  by 
  Olsufiev 
  in 
  the 
  governments 
  of 
  Volhynia 
  and 
  

   Tchernigov, 
  in 
  trenches 
  dug 
  in 
  pine 
  woods, 
  and 
  concludes 
  that 
  this 
  

   species 
  cannot 
  be 
  regarded 
  as 
  dying 
  out 
  and 
  that 
  it 
  must 
  have 
  a 
  

   wider 
  range 
  than 
  is 
  usually 
  thought.

  reviews 
  the

  of

  on 
  the 
  biology 
  of 
  

   Epiconietis 
  (Trojpinota)

  Reitt., 
  (see 
  this 
  Review,

   pp.

  and 
  deals 
  also 
  with 
  the 
  same 
  author's 
  " 
  Materials 
  for 
  the 
  

   biology 
  of 
  Rhynchites 
  auratus. 
  Scop." 
  The 
  oviposition 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  is 
  

   described 
  as 
  studied 
  in 
  1905 
  in 
  his 
  laboratory, 
  the 
  insect 
  having 
  

   appeared 
  in 
  fairly 
  large 
  numbers 
  near 
  Kiev 
  in 
  that 
  year. 
  Having 
  

   started 
  to 
  bore 
  the 
  pericarp, 
  the 
  female 
  does 
  not 
  take 
  out 
  its 
  proboscis, 
  

   till 
  the 
  hole 
  is 
  quite 
  finished 
  ; 
  it 
  turns 
  its 
  head 
  in 
  all 
  directions 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  

   enlarge 
  the 
  hole 
  and 
  give 
  it 
  a 
  conical 
  form. 
  It 
  does 
  not 
  gnaw 
  through 
  

   the 
  whole 
  of 
  the 
  pericarp, 
  but 
  leaves 
  a 
  thin 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  woody 
  stratum. 
  

   Immediately 
  the 
  hole 
  is 
  ready, 
  the 
  female 
  deposits 
  an 
  egg 
  in 
  it 
  

   and 
  begins 
  to 
  build 
  the 
  plug. 
  It 
  does 
  not 
  make 
  a 
  circular 
  channel, 
  as 
  

   described 
  by 
  Schreiner 
  and 
  Troitzky, 
  but 
  gnaws 
  away 
  small 
  pieces 
  

   from 
  the 
  walls 
  of 
  the 
  soft 
  pericarp 
  and 
  fills 
  the 
  hole 
  with 
  them, 
  kneading 
  

   them 
  slightly 
  with 
  its 
  proboscis 
  ; 
  the 
  round 
  chamiel 
  mentioned 
  by 
  

   other 
  authors 
  is 
  formed 
  by 
  the 
  drying 
  and 
  shrinking 
  of 
  the 
  plug, 
  which 
  

   causes 
  it 
  to 
  separate 
  from 
  the 
  uninjured 
  walls 
  of 
  the 
  pericarp. 
  In 
  the 
  

   laboratory 
  the 
  development 
  of 
  the 
  larva 
  of 
  R. 
  auratus 
  lasted 
  7-8 
  days, 
  

   the 
  greatest 
  number 
  of 
  eggs 
  laid 
  by 
  one 
  female 
  being 
  120.

  An 
  account 
  is 
  given 
  of 
  the 
  ravages 
  of 
  the 
  pine 
  moth 
  (Panolis 
  pini- 
  

   perda, 
  Prez.) 
  in 
  the 
  pine 
  woods 
  of 
  Woleschna, 
  in 
  Bohemia. 
  The 
  district 
  

   is 
  divisible 
  into 
  three 
  small 
  valleys, 
  the 
  centre 
  of 
  the 
  outbreak 
  being^in 
  

   the 
  middle, 
  and 
  the 
  damage 
  spreads 
  from 
  west 
  to 
  east, 
  owing 
  to 
  the 
  

   prevailing 
  west 
  winds. 
  The 
  trees 
  which 
  are 
  completely 
  defoliated 
  are 
  

   mostly 
  from 
  60-65 
  years 
  old, 
  though 
  some 
  90-year-old 
  trees 
  have
