Guyon has continued his history of the Chigoe (Rev. et Mag.deZool.1868), 
but has not yet completed it. The portions published last year relate chiefly 
to the medical aspects of the history of this insect, and contain many ob- 
servations cited from previous writers, with a selection of cases from the 
author’s experience.

In this memoir Brauer commences a complete revision of the 
Neiiroptera (Linn.) with a tabular synopsis of all the known 
genera and subgcnera. He states that he keeps together the 
forms referred by Linineus to the Nenroptera, although he 
regards the Pseudo-Neuroptera as truly belonging to the Or- 
thoptera j he also places the Strepsiptera as a family of Neuro- 
ptera, with the object of attracting attention to them. The 
fossil forms are also tabulated.
