This part, dated 1875 (received in 1877), refers to Hymenoptera, Tri- 
choptera, Orthoptera, Lepidoptera^ Diptera, and Hemiptera. The 1st half 
was published, op. cit. xl. pp. 253-400.

These two little works form part of Rothschild’s popular series, and 
scarcely call for serious notice, however pretentious as instructive manuals, 
being full of the most evident error. Dr. Robert’s part, however (the 
2nd book of the last work, with separate title, “ Les Ravageurs des plan- 
tations d’Alignement, Histoire naturelle, Moeurs, Degats, Moyens pra- 
tiques pour les detruire et pour restaurer les Plantations”), is the 4th 
augmented edition of a practical treatise of considerable value.

Insectos. Madrid: 1876, 8vo, pp. 1-96, cuts 1-17. 
After a general introduction, the author briefly discusses each order, 
giving hints as to capture, preservation, &c., and concludes with a biblio- 
graphical reference to works in which Spanish insects are described. (See 
also Resum en de los Trabajos del Ateneo propagador de las Ciencias 
Naturales, 1874-75, p. 37, by the same author.)
