, Ersouoff has published (Ilor. Soc. Entoni. Ross. vi. pp. 17-26) a tabular 
comparison of the Lepidopterous faunas of Berlin and St. Petersburg, as far 
as the end of the Geometridce, from which it appears that the former locality

A. Fritsch has published a calendar of the times of appearance of various 
Lepidoptera in Hungary. Sitz. Akad. Wiss. Math. -Nat. Cl. Iviii. pp. 612- 
620. 
Grenier (Ann. Soc. Ent. France, Stances, 1868, p. 107) notes the un- 
usually early appearance of various Lepidoptera in 1868, owing to the for- 
wardness and heat of the summer. 
P. Mabille has left Corsica, after a residence of three years, and has given 
(Ann. Soc. Entom. France, 4® s4rie, tome ix. pp. 63-80) a further instalment 
of his notes on the Lepidoptera of that island. He argues that all the Cor- 
sican subspecies are perfectly distinct from those of the mainland, and regards 
their full specific claims as unquestionable. 
A. S. Packard (Guide to the Study of Insects, pp. 229-357) treats of 
Lepidoptera generally, and those of North America in particular, at consider- 
able length. Numerous woodcuts and three plates are given, illustrating 
structural peculiarities, metamorphoses, and perfect insects. 
Peykrimhofp has published (Bull. Soc. d’Hist. Nat. do Colmar, 1867-68, 
pp. 27-39) a supplement to his catalogue of the Lepidoptera of Alsace. He 
states that the third and last part of his catalogue is deferred till the Alsa- 
tian Tineid<B can be examined. Nearly 600 species of tliis family are con- 
tained in his own collection and in that of the Colmar Museum. 
W. B. PuYKR remarks on the Lepidoptera found near Shanghai. He has 
obtained 21 species of butterflies near Shanghai, and 0 more at Fung-whaug 
Shanj 23 Sphingidao, and 62 Noctuo3. Pyrales and Tiiiem are common, 
but Geometrm, with the exception of two or three species, yory scarce. The 
general scarcity of Lepidoptera he attributes to the great number of bats and 
predaceous insects. Journ. N. China Branch of Roy. Asiatic Society, n. s . 
iv. pp. 77, 78. 
VoLLENHOVEN has published a list of the Lepidoptera collected by MM.
