Messrs. Remi, Schmidt, and Co., show an interesting collection of the 

 silks and cocoons of Japan, especially reticulated cocoons, which appears 

 to be undescribed, and the large wild green cocoons of the Bombyx Yami- 

 ?nai, the caterpillars, moth, and cocoon of which have been figured and 

 described by M. Guerin de Menville, in the Revue et Magazine de 

 Zoologie of Paris, for 1861. The value of the raw silk imported into this 

 country from Japan in 1860, was 90,115?., and the value of that received 

 in 1861, was larger, notwithstanding the decline in price. — Editor.
