The commencement of a valuable and laborious work. The author 
comments upon the difficulty of determining some of the species described 
by the old entomologists, consequent upon the fact that the types have 
been, in some cases, apparently changed. He enters at length into the 
question of the rule of priority, and gives it his strongest adherence. 
The neuration of the wings of Ortlioptera is critically examined. Many 
new genera and species existing in the Stockholm Museum are described, 
the former in a series of analytical tables of the groups treated upon. 
The systematic part of the work is in an intensely complicated form.
