The General Subject. 
Branden, C. Van den. Revue Coleopterologique. Livr. i.-iv. Brux- 
elles : 1882, 8vo, pp. 1-64. 
A small monthly journal (discontinued) containing a bibliography of

Ciialande, J. De la sensibility chez les insectes aveugles cavernicoles. 
Bull. Soc. Toulouse, xv. pp. 126-130. 
The writer’s observations on blind genera of beetles ( Anophthalmus , 
&c.), lead him to the conclusions of Piochard de la Brulerie, who 
considers that their sensibility resides in their hair or down, and is 
proportioned to the amount of this covering. They are less exclusively 
cave-frequenting insects than has been supposed.
