ENTOMOLOGICAL INDEX TO AGRICULTURAL REPORTS. 



We have lately received through the kindness of the author. Professor Townend 

 Glover, a most valuable publication entitled ''Manuscript Notes from my Journal," being 

 an Entomological index to the names, &c., of insects occuring in the annual agricultural 

 reports published by the Department of Agriculture at Washington from 1854 to the pre- 

 sent time, with a list of the vegetable and animal substances injured or destroyed by 

 them. 



This work is published in quarto form, and uniform in style with the previous works 

 of the same author on Dipt era, Hemiptera and Orthoptera, noticed in the earlier volumes 

 of this journal. The first 77 pages are occupied with an alphabetical list of the names of 

 insects referred to in the various reports, with brief explanatory references. Following 

 this we have a list of insects to a greater or less degree beneficial by destroying noxious 

 insects, a paragraph on other agencies referred to as useful in the destruction of insects, 

 concluding with a list occupying 21 pages, also alphabetically arranged, of vegetable and 

 animal substances injured or destroyed by insects. 



The compilation of this work has been attended with much labour, and furnishes 

 another evidence of the untiring industry of the author. It will prove an invaluable 

 help to all who desire to consult the pages of these reports for information on Ento- 

 mological subjects, and it is much to be regretted that the edition is not sufficiently large 

 to make it make it accessible to all who may be interested in Entomology.
