The General Subject. 
Aurivillius, P. 0. C . Recensio critica Lepidopterorum Musei Ludovicse 
Ulricae, quae descripsit Carolus a Linne. Sv. Ak. Handl. xix. 5, 
pp. 188, coloured plate and woodcuts. 
Contains full synonymy, and critical observations on all the species, and 
must be regarded as a highly important contribution to Entomological 
Bibliography. 
Barrett, C. G. The influence of meteorological conditions on Insect 
Life. Ent. M. M. xix. pp. 1-8. 
Relates to the influence of wind and rain, cold and mild winters, &c., 
on Lepidoptera. 
Burgess, E. Note on the aorta in Lepidopterous Insects. P. Bost. Soc. 
xxi. pp. 153-156, woodcuts. 
In the Butterflies, a distinct horizontal aortal chamber is present ; in 
the higher Moths (except the Hawk-moths, which exhibit a peculiar 
structure not yet fully investigated), a vertical node replaces the 
chamber, and this vanishes in the lower Moths. 
Butler, A. G. Notes on certain Microlepidoptera. Ent. M. M. xix. 
pp. 106-108. 
Consists of synonymic notes, too numerous for reproduction, on various 
genera and species described by Zeller in Hor. Ent. Ross. xiii.
