collected at Takow, Formosa, by Mr. Robert Swinhoe.

Contains a list of species with descriptions of a few new spe-

Wallengren, H. D. J. Heterocer-I^arilar, samlade i Kaffer- 
landet af J. A. Wahlberg. [Heterocerous Lepidoptera col- 
lected in Kaffirland by J. A. Wahlberg.] Kongliga Svenska 
Vetensk.-Akad. Handlingar ; Ny Foljd, Bd. v. No. 4, 
pp. 83 : 1865 (read February 2, 1864). 
In this paper Wallengren describes the Caffrarian species be- 
longing to the groups Sphinginay Bombycinay and Noctuina, and 
in the introductory portion of the memoir compares the Lepi- 
dopterous fauna of that region with those of other countries. 
Cafiraria has 27 species of Lepidoptera in common with Europe, 
41 in common with the continent of Asia, 9 with the islands of 
the Eastern Archipelago, 5 with Australia and Polynesia, and 9 
with America. The islands of the Indian Ocean possess 49 spe- 
cies in common with Caffraria, the Cape Colony 67 species, and 
Central Africa 104. The new genera and the whole of the spe- 
cies are characterized with more or less detail in Latin. The 
number of the former seems to be excessive, and the characters 
on which they are founded, derived chiefly from the venation of 
the wings, are generally very slight.

This paper consists of a discussion of the general qualities of

praise. As specimens of the supplementary portion, the histories
