Entomological Society. 4065 



Part VI. contains 32 pages of Transactions and 8 of Proceedings, 

 besides 2 plates. The papers are the conclusion of that by Mr. 

 Waterhouse, the title of which is given above, and — 



' Contributions to the Natural History of British Micro-Lepido- 

 ptera.' By J. W. Douglas, Esq. 



The plates illustrate Mr. Douglas's paper on the Micro-Lepidoptera. 



It would be a work of supererogation to give any analysis of the 

 contents of these parts, seeing how full an abstract of the several pa- 

 pers has already appeared in these pages ; but we may nevertheless 

 commend them most cordially to the notice of entomologists.
