To-day his family, his numerous private and scientific friends at home am 
abroad, mourn for the departed ; and no doubt a full account of his active life wil 
Boon be in the hands of all who knew him in science ; but, bearing thankfully i: 
mind how much I owe him, and how many acts of unrecorded kindness on his par 
have fallen to my lot, I pay ray sincere tribute to the respected memory of a mai 
whom I shall ever be proud of referring to as having been my steady friend am 
first mentor in matters entomological. — Albert Muller, Penge, S.E., Sept., 1868.

We have received a half-sheet (8 pages) forming the first part of this publica 
tion, which is to appear " not oftener than once a month, and only when there is i 
sufficiency of suitable matter." It is edited by the Rev. C. J. S. Eethune, Secretary 
Treasurer of the Society, and, if conducted with spirit, should do much towardi 
fostering a taste for Entomology in Canada. " Exchanges," of course, take a pro 
minent place. Under this head two things will strike a British reader as curious 
one correspondent asks for " any Lyccena excepting phlwas," reminding us of th( 
excessive abundance of that species here this season, notwithstanding the propheciefi 
in which the reviewer joined a few years since, of its gradual extinction : anothei 
demands Pieris rapoe, the newly -introduced Canadian ; what would he think of th( 
state of our cabbages at the present moment ?

The "Practical Entomologist," published by the American Entomologica 
Society (late the " Ent. Soc. of Philadelphia"), would seem to have expired aftei 
two years existence, and its place is supplied by the above-named publication, o: 
which we have received the first part (20 pages). The editors hold the position o: 
" State Entomologists" for Illinois and Missouri respectively, our American cousini 
being more fully alive than we are to the necessity of having scientific advisers oi 
the subject of insect depredations. This periodical, which is to be coutinuec 
monthly, is devoted to information on the habits of the noxious insects ol' America 
with investigations into the most likely means of arresting their ravages ; conibinec 
with sound popular articles on general entomology ; and is illustrated with nnmeroui 
well-executed woodcuts ; all for the low price of one dollar per annum. We cor 
dially wish it a longer life than its predecessor. One " practical " hint strikes uf 
as well worthy the consideration of our apple-growers, as offering a possible meaiu 
of " stamping out " the apple grub {Carpocapsa pomonana), which has been iiiort 
than usually destructive here dm-ing this season. In an article headed " llogi 
versus Apple-worms," the editors, on the experience of many orchard-keepers 
strongly advise turning hogs into the orchard at the time when the infested frui' 
falls from the trees ; these animals greedily devour the " fallings " before the larv! 
has time to escape from the apples, and thrive thereon. Many instances are quot« 
to show the good eft'ect of this plan, and it is applied also to peach-orchards, fc 
destroy a weevil-grub which causes great damage. The only drawback is th
