sented a great deal of information which will be of value to the agricul- 
turists of Australia. This is only the first part of a work which bids 
fair to be extensive. As an introductory number this contains an intro- 
duction to entomology taken from Miss Ormerod’s Manual and a brief 
account of the classification of insects taken from Westwood’s Intro- 
duction. This matter is followed by an account of the noxious insects 
of Victoria which attack the Apple, Pear, Apricot, and Cherry. Some 
fourteen species are mentioned, of which six occur in this country, 
namely, the Woolly Aphis, the Codling Moth, the Oyster-shell Bark 
Louse of the Apple, the Red Spider, the Pear Slug, and the Pear-leaf 
Blister-mite. The matter concerning insecticides and spraying appara- 
tus is brought together at the close of the volume. 
Dr. Weed’s last Ohio Bulletin.» —We have received the last bulletin pre- 
pared by Dr. C. M. Weed as entomologist of the Ohio Station. It in- 
cludes three articles: (1) Miscellaneous Experiments in the Control of 
Injurious Insects; (2) Some Common Cabbage Insects ; (3) Three In- 
ported Clover Insects. Under the head of miscellaneous experiments 
are given the details of trials of the arsenites and the Bordeaux mixture, 
carbonate of copper, and Paris green, the arsenites and lime spraying 
for the Plum Curculio, whitewashing for the Rose Bug, experiments 
with remedies for the Striped Cucumber Beetle, and tobacco as an in- 
secticide. The experiments are all interesting, but no new results have 
been obtained. The second article treats of the Imported Cabbage 
Worm, the Cabbage Plusia, the Zebra Caterpillar, the Wavy-striped 
Flea-beetle, and Cabbage Cut-worms, while the three imported clover 
insects are the Root Borer, the Seed Midge, and the Hay Worm. Our 
figures of all these insects are reprinted, and their treatment includes 
nothing new. 
Swedish Injurious Insects.— We have received from Prof. Sven Lampa, 
the State entomologist of Sweden, a report on the injurious insects. 
which were prominent in Sweden during 1890. The Onion Fly (Anthomyia 
ceparum), the Wheat Fly (Chlorops teniopus), the Wheat Midge (Diplosis: 
tritici), Wire Worms, the Frit Fly, one of the Saw Flies (Lophyrus rufus), 
a Cut Worm (Hadena basilinea), the Red-footed Bean-weevil (Bruchus 
rufimanus), and the Winter Moth (Cheimatobia brumata), are the princi- 
pal species treated.
