GeorGE D. Hutst— ‘The Epipaschiince of North America,’ 
1889. Reprinted from Lntomologica Americana, with a plate 
illustrating structural characters. Twenty species of this family 
of moths are described as occuring in North America, and very 
full details are given, both descriptive and synonymical, although 
the distribution is very slightly treated. There is also a catalogue 
of the species, in which, however, one species described in the 
body of the work (E. Zelleri) has been omitted. Yuma gen. 
nov., is founded on a species (adulatalis) from S. California and 
Texas, and Attacapa, gen. nov.,on a Texan species. A. calli-

ULTIMATE FINANCE—A true theory of wealth. By William 
Nelson Black. The Humboldt Publishing Company, 24 East 4th 
street, New York. The first two chapters treat of the origin of 
property and the evolution of wealth, the third and fourth discuss 
the principles and possibilities of banking and insurance, and the 
fifth, sixth and seventh are devoted to a correction of the many 
misconceptions that abound on the nature of accumulation, and 
the administration of property. The book defines asystem which, 
if found organically practicable, will enable men to carry insur- 
ance always without sacrifice of personal resources and some- 
times with considerable gain.

This is the first number of the new series of this journal, to be 
published quarterly by the Department of Agriculture, under. the 
supervision of B. T. Galloway. It extends to fifty pages, with 
eight plates, and like all the other work of the department is thor- 
oughly welldone. A new genus, thirteen new species, and two 
new varieties are described, and there are also articles dealing 
with the economic side of the question, and reviews of new litera- 
ture. The most interesting paper to western botanists is one by 
Mr. W. F. Anderson, on the fungi of Montana. LE DvAy C
