The first two livraisons (published in the year 1867) \vere 
reported on almost entirely in the ^ Record ^ for 1866. Allard^s 
monograph of the European Alticides is completed in livr. 4 of 
tome iv. ; but the editor there indicates that this memoir, with 
the monograph of the Galerucides s. str. by Joannis, will con- 
stitute tome iii. of the ^ Abcille,^ for which he gives a titlepage. 
Livraisons 5 & 6 consist entirely of analyses of works pub- 
lished elsewhere, especially in Russia, with reprints of the de- 
scriptions of new species. The journals here laid under contri- 
bution are the ^ Entomologische Zeitung^ of Stettin, 1863-1865, 
the ^Bull. Soc. Nat. de Moscou,^ 1862-1865, and the ^ Horse 
Soc. Ent. Rossicse,^ 1863-1865.

& 298 ; 34 plates. 
In this great work, which, as far as the Insecta ^ire concerned, 
stands to the IForstinsekten^ much in the same relation as 
the ledger of a merchant to his journal, Ratzeburg treats of 
the injury done to forest-trees by the attacks of animals, the 
subject being arranged under the heads of the diflTerent species 
of trees. The first volume, published in 1866, is devoted to the 
Coniferse, the species referred to being Pinus ^ylvestris and P. 
abtes. In the introductory chapter a general view is taken of 
the subject, chiefly as a guide to the forester in watching for 
the first appearance of mischief. 
The species enumerated as inhabiting Pinus sylvestris are as 
follows ; —
