An oxccodingly elaborate work, in which the structure, habits, trans- 
formations, food-plants, parasites, &c., are fully detailed. Soven plates 
represent larvoo, seven perfect insects, six various forms of the saws, on 
which the author lays great stress ; and the last illustrates miscellane- 
ous details. The contents of the plates are too extensive to be given 
here in full. Synopses of the species of each genus are given, as well as 
good indices and a bibliography. The three groups included in the 
present volume, according to the author’s arrangement, are as follows: — 
Tentiiredinidal : Tenthredinides , Dolcrides, Selandriides. 
. On the use of coloration and markings of Caterpillars, and on the 
development of the insect. P. Glasg. Soc. iv. pp. 224-226, 256, & 257.
