noticed (but not described) as Termes Uruguay ensis. The plate illus-

The author maintains that Atropos should be reserved for the species 
forming the genus Clothilla^ Westw., whereas Troctes should include 
those usually placed in Atrojms by modern authors.

A critique in which, under 8 divisions, the author notices various 
points of structure, synonymy, &c., with especial regard to his own views, 
as detailed in his monographic work noticed below.

A comparison of the neural terminology and the structural homologies, 
as defined by McLachlan and Spangberg, in their British and Scandi- 
navian monographs respectively, with the system adopted by the author ; 
ending with a new arrangement of the sub-family, with outline char- 
acters of the genera ; the whole forming little else than an extract from 
the author’s comprehensive work noticed below, and which was published 
almost simultaneously. The plate consists of outline figures of neuration,

Possibly the most original treatise that has appeared on these insects, 
and very valuable from the full manner in which the subject is worked 
out. After a short introduction, the systematic position is discussed, in 
which the author states that this is nearer to the Emhidce than to the 
2'ermitidce. A discussion of the characters of the family occupies pp. 76-83, 
the author maintaining the (probably erroneous) ideas regarding the 
homologies of the wing-nervures foreshadowed in S. E. Z. [vide supru\. 
Geographical, distribution generally, forms the next chapter. Then 
follows the mode of life, and food, the egg, larva and nymph, in which it
