TeRMITID/E. 
In Am. Nat. y, p. 171, is a note by T. Fetnam regarding the damage oc- 
casioned by a species of white ant occurring in St. Helena, most probably 
Termes tenuis, Ilagen, as the Recorder has received that species thence in 
large numbers. 
Ephemeridae. 
Eaton (Tr. E. S. 1871, pp. 1-164, pis. i.-vi.) has completed 
the first part of A Monograph on the Ephemeridse,^^ com- 
prising the bibliography, nomenclature, and systematic portion of 
the work (reviewed Am. Nat. v. p. 417). His treatment of this 
most difficult family is at once masterly and exhaustive, and 
embraces fossil as Well as recent species. He passes some severe 
strictures upon the random guesses of palseontologists who 
profess to name and describe new forms from mere fragments 
of impressions of wings, and gives valuable instructions as to 
the best means of preserving and studying these insects. He 
arranges the species under 26 genera, and describes about 178 
recent species, exclusive of some scarcely determinable. 
Eaton describes the following new genera and species : — *

wing here and there with transverse veinlets. Palingenia dorsalis, Bunn.,
