II. Weyenbebgh has commenced (Tijdschr. voor Ent. 2<i^ser. iv. pp. 166- 
174) a series of papers on the metamorphoses and habits of the Dutch 
Diptera. His first paper opens with a bibliographical sketch of the contribu- 
tions to the subject published in Holland, and includes the history of two 
species, namely, Cheilosia chrymcoma (Meig.) and Pkytomyza ohscurella 
(Fall). 
Rondani (Atti Soc. Ital. Sci. Nat. xi. pp. 659-603) has commenced a cata- 
logue of the Italian Diptera, with indications of the geographical distribution 
of the species. The part published includes the Qi'stridcc, Syrphidcs, Cono- 
pidce, and Muscidce. 
Josef Palm has published (Verb, zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xix. pp. 395- 
454) a list of the species of Diptera found in the Tyrol. The number of 
known species cited by him is 777, of which 316 have occurred only in 
North Tyrol, 226 only in South Tyrol, and 235 in both districts. The 
author describes the districts in which his collections were chiefly made. 
Loew publishes (Ber. naturh. Ver. Augsb. xx. pp. 39-59) a notice of the 
more remarkable species of Diptera collected in the neighbourhood of Augs- 
burg. Several new species are described. 
Six publishes (Tijdschr. voor Ent. 2**® ser. iv. pp. 178-182) a list of nu- 
merous species of Diptera captured by him in the neighbourhood of Drie- 
bergen and Beek.
