INSECTA, NEUROPTERA. 
infesting birds, it is known that some few species also inhabit the fur of 
mammalia; but none have been observed upon the Chiroptera.

Termitid^e. 
Nicholson, Manual of Zoology, i. pp. 219-^221, gives a short account of 
the conditions and habits of these insects, after Bates’s observations. 
Termes Jiavipes. Sanborn, Am. Ent. ii. pp. 266-268, has a popular article 
on the habits of this species, illustrated by excellent woodcuts of the various 
stages and conditions. Shimer, /. c. p. 324, notices the destruction occasioned 
by it to books and public documents, 
PsOCIDiE. 
Amphientomum hageni, sp. n., Packard, P. Bost. Soc. xiii. p. 405, with 
woodcut, Maine and Massachusetts. An extremely interesting discover}'^, 
the genus having only hitherto been noticed in a living state in Ceylon, and 
found also enclosed in Zanzibar gum-copal, and fossil in amber. 
Shimeu, Am. Ent. ii. p. 324, notices the damage occasioned to books by 
insects of this fiimily. He evidently refers to Atropos or Clotkilla, and seems 
to regard these apterous forms as larvae of winged species. The Ilecorder 
believes he is mistaken in this supposition. 
Perlid^e. 
Perla hicaudata, L., and P. maxima, Scopoli. M'Lachlan, Ent. M. M. vi. 
p. 266, discusses the question as to what species are represented by these two 
names. He considers it not possible to settle the identity of hicaudata, L., 
but refers hipunctata, Pictet, to maxima. 
Ephemeridas. 
Eaton, Tr. E. S. 1870, p. 1, asserts that Ephemera danica of Pictet is 
not the same as the like-named species of Muller. He redescribes the former 
as E, lineata, Eaton, and states that he has found it on the Thames at Read- 
ing. He also describes the imago of Baetis phccopa, Steph., 1. c. p. 4, and of 
B. niger, L., 1. c. p. 6. Furthermore, according to him, Baetis montana, 
Hagen, is not Pictet’s species ; and he describes the former as Heptagenia 
insignis, 1. c. p. 7.
