MONOGRAPHS OF NORTH AMERICAN SPIDERS.—We have re- 
ceived during the past month two monographs of North American 
Spiders. The larger of the two is of the family attidæ and is by 
George W. and Elizabeth G. Peckham. It is reprinted from the 
Transactions of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Art and Letters, 
Vol. VII. It comprises 104 pages and is illustrated by six plates. 
An analytical key to the genera is given, and the specific descrip- 
tions are evidently very carefully prepared. 
The smaller monograph is of the family Ciniflonide and is by 
J. H. Emerton. It is reprinted from the Transactions of the Con- 
necticut Academy, Vol. VII. It comprises sixteen pages and is illus- 
trated by three beautiful plates. 
Tue Ber-Keerers’ GUIDE.—A new edition of this excellent 
manual of the apiary by Prof. A. J. Cook has just appeared. 
The work has been wholly re-written and revised, 150 pages and 
more than thirty illustrations being added. The greatest additions are 
in the chapters pertaining to the natural history of the honey-bee. 
We are glad to note also an improvement in the paper and press 
work. This is undoubtedly our best manual on the subject and it 
should be in the hands of every American bee-keeper. 
Supplement of June 2, 1888, an important paper by Prof. 
Riley on the scientific relations of Platypsyllus as determined by the 
larva. The paper is based upon the study of larve collec 
Prof. Riley by Mr. Lawrence Brunner in Nebraska. Three 
figures of the larvee are given, and one of the adult. The conclu- 
sion drawn by the author is that this insect pertains to the order 
Coleoptera.
