Saunders (Canad. Ent. ii. pp. 111-113, 126-129, 146-149), under the

rican spp. injuriops to vegetation. 
Observations on the more noxious effects caused by insects imported into 
America from Europe than by allied indigenous spp. are recorded in Amer* 
Ent. ii. p. 110, by Riley. 
A discussion on injuries caused to mankind by certain Ilymenoptera and 
Diptera is reported in Bull. Horae Ent. Ross. vii. pp. v-xi. 
Pettigrew (C. R. Ixx. p. 875) claims the publication in P. R. Inst. 1867 
by himself of certain discoveries with regard to the flight of insects subse- 
quently brought forward by Marey. Marey (ibid. p. 1003) admits Petti- 
grew’s priority. 
Landois (Verb. Ver. Rlieinl. xxvi. pp. 67-70) discusses various instances 
of sounds emitted by insects. 
Lichtenstein (Pet. Nouv. 17. p. 65) suggests a trinomial scheme of 
scientific nomenclature, wishing the old name of the genus to be retained, as 
well as the modern. Ragonot, ibid. 18. p. 70, urges objections to this, and 
would prefer to use as a generic name an equivalent for the ‘subdivision’ 
in which any species is placed — e. g. ‘ Carahus ’ spiniharhis for Leistus, Leistus 
being in the Carahidce. 
For observations on practice in nomenclature, arising on the point of the 
Brenthid generic name Diurus (Dej. Cat. 1834), published by Pascoe in 1862, 
being interfered vrith by Gemminger & v. Harold’s alteration in 1860 of the 
Telephorid Biurus (Motsch. 1852) into Diurus, cf. Pr. E. Soc. 1870, pp. v-viii.

Sanborn (Amor. Ent. & Bot. ii. pp. 166, 199, 236, 266, 294) gives instruc- 
tions for the collection and study of insects. 
Douglas (Ent. M. M. vii. p. 43) remarks upon the nomenclature of wing- 
nerves, and on the importance of the abdominal appendages in specific deter- 
mination. 
Crowfoot (Tr. Norw. Soc. 1860-70) remarks generally upon the study of 
Entomology. 
Naacke (JB. schles. Ges. xlvii. pp. 185-188) gives an outline of Ento- 
mological Literature to 1862. 
Means for protecting collections of insects from damage are discussed in

Remarks by Horton on the Entomology of the INIalvein district, with lists 
of species, of which the Lepidoptera only are worth attention, occur in Trans.
