33 and 170. 

 Perhaps the best of the earliest accounts of Sanninoidea exitiosa (p. 33). The insect is described as Algeria 

 persiae, and statement made that this name of Barton's (1805) has priority over Say's exitiosa (1823). Rec- 

 ommendations of Worth (1823), Shotwell (1824), and Thomas (1824) summarized. Finds there is but one 

 brood of this insect in a year. (We are unable to find any description of Barton's species. The name is 

 nomen nudum.) Note on Algeria (— Sesia) tipuliformis (p. 170). L95]
