author describes the luminous organ of Luciola italica ; in the 
seeond tbe same organ in the female and larva of Lafnpyris 
hoctiluca, and also a peeuliar organ in the latter, consisting of a 
sort of fringe composed of numerous retraetile filaments, which 
are emitted from the last segment of the abdomen about the 
anus, spread out in the form of a disk, and adhere to anything 
to whieh the animal applies them ; and in the third the mus- 
eular fibres of Luciola italica are eompared with those of certain

ScHioDTE (Naturh. Tidsskr. 3rd ser.iv.) treats of the tunnelling 
Coleoptera Bledius, Heterocerus, and Dyschirius as presenting a 
common mode of life although systematically wide apart. The 
Dyschirii and their larvae are specially destined to pursue and 
destroy the others ; and Schiodte refers to them as representing 
the Mole and the Shrew among Carabidae. 
De Mahseul (L’Abeille, pp. xxv-lxvi) continues to give translations of 
descriptions of Coleoptera from various journals, including: — from Wiener
