MONOGRAPH OF THE BRITISH CICADAS OR TETTIGIIDiE. 
(FROG-HOPPERS AND GRASSFLIES.) 
By George Bowdler Buckton, F.R.S., Corr. Memb. Acad. Nat. Hist, of Philadelphia,. 
Memb. de la Soc. Ent. de Frauce. Illustrated by more than 400 Coloured 
Drawings. In Eight Parts. Demy 8 vo. Part I. 8s. ( Ready . ) 
No coloured monograph of the British Cicada 1 exists, and it is even believed that no adequately illus- 
trated monograph exists of European species. Partly to meet this want, it is proposed to publish eight 
quarterly parts, each containing on an average ten litho-chromo plates and letterpress, illustrating the 
forms, metamorphoses, general anatomy, and the chief details connected with the life-history of this 
family of insects. The work will contain also short diagnoses of all the British species, about 230 in 
number, most of which have come under the author’s notice, each species being illustrated by one or more- 
coloured drawings. Some account will be given of the curious myths and tales told by ancient Greek and 
Latin poets, and descriptions will be appended relating to the curious sound-organs possessed by some 
species, aud other subjects connected with the economy of this interesting but difficult group of" Rhyn- 
chotous insects. Mr. Buckton’s name is well known to entomologists, and this book represents the labour- 
and observation of many years.

THE PORTFOLIO. 
An Artistic Periodical. Edited by V. G. Hamerton. Published Monthly, 
price Half-a-Crown. 
PORTFOLIO having now nearly completed the twentieth year of its existence, the Editor and 
| Publishers have decided to take the beginning of the year 1S90 as a convenient opportunity for tlio 
introduction of several important improvements. 
The text will be printed in a larger and handsomer type. The double columns will be abolished, except 
in the case of the Art Chronicle, which will be so paged that when the volume is bound it can be placed 
consecutively at the end. 
The new page will afford opportunities for the introduction of ornamental initial letters (which the narrow 
column did not admit), headpieces and tailpieces, copied from good examples, or expressly designed. As it 
will contain somewhat less matter than before, the number of pages will be proportionately increased. 
The Industrial Arts of the present day will receive f uller notice than hitherto. 
The wrapper will bear a new device, and the cloth binding will be improved in colour and design. These 
alterations will contribute to the nobie appearance of the yearly volume. 
An illustrated prospectus may be obtained from the publishers. 
Now is the time to subscribe.
