Mr. Stainton has continued his admirable work on the Tineina 
by the publication in the past year of an eighth volume, con- 
taining the natural history of 15 species of Gracilaria and 9 
species of Ornioo. The number of known species of the former 
genus is 43, and of the latter 22, as recorded by Stainton at 
pp. 12-15 and 208-211 of the present volume. This work is 
still published in four languages printed in parallel columns ; the 
illustrations, as in the former volumes, are beautifully executed.

The four parts of this well-known work published during 1864

of the twelve plates of which they are composed; of the remainder, 
one contains representations of three species of PapiliOj and the 
other two are occupied by species of the Satyride genus Mycalesis, 
chiefly from the Eastern Islands.
