two months before the great autumnal brood, which consists invariably 
of females. See remarks by Smith on this subject in Proc. Ent. Soc. 
Lond. 1869, pp. 11, 12. 
Mulleh remarks on the scent emitted by CyniiJS lignicola (Hart.), and 
suggests that its object is to protect the insect from birds (Proc. Ent. Soc. 
Lond. 1869, p. 26). 
Smith mentions the occurrence of a gall of Biorkka aptei'a (Fab.) on the 
trunk of an oak, instead of below the ground, as is usually the case (ibid., 
p. 2).

Tsciiek (Verhandl. zool.-bot. Gesollsch. in Wien, xix. p. 659) describes a 
small gall from Quercus puhcscens, from which ho has bred in quantity a now 
species of Spatheg aster. This he describes under the name of S. giraudi.

Norton (Trans. Amer, Ent. Soo. ii. p. 349 et seq.) cha- 
racterizes and redescribes the known North-American species of 
Oryssus (p. 350), Xyphydria (p. 352), Urocerus (tab. p. 356), 
and 'Tremex (p. 364) . He also eharacterizes one new genus and 
species, and refers to allied genera not yet observed in North 
America. 
Teredon, g. n., Norton, 1. c. p. 866. May be considered a subgonus of Tre^ 
mex (Jurine), which it resembles precisely in appearance of head and body, 
but from which its fusiform, 5- or 6-articulate antennae (of which the 3rd 
joint is shorter than the 4th, and the 5th longest, unless it be composed of 
two joints closely soldered, of which there is some appearance) and its 
dilated hinder tarsi will serve to distinguish it. Spp. T. cuhensis and latitarsis

Norton {1. c. p. 211 et seq.) characterizes and redescribes 
the recorded North-American species of I'axonus, Stronyylo- 
gaster (tabulated at p. 214 ; typical underwings of Strongylo^ 
gaster and allies figured at p. 219), Pcecilostoma (p. 224), 
Tentliredo (tabulated at pp. 225 & 226), Lophyrus (tab. p. 322), 
Lyda (tab. p. 332), Cephus (p. 342), Janus (p. 344), Phyllcecus 
(p. 345), and Xyela (p. 347). He also characterizes certain 
allied genera not yet discovered in North America, and describes 
many new species, including five Hymenoptera parasitie upon 
Lophyrus abietis (for addenda, see pp. 367 & 368).
