A very elaborate article, divided into two parts, viz., (1) “Anatomia 
descrittiva e comparata,” (2) “ Morfologia.” A number of mostly com- 
mon species are selected by the author as types of the generative system, 
both internal and external, for both sexes of each of the larger divisions. 
For the most part, the paper is purely anatomical and physiological ; the 
two plates are full of beautifully executed details for both sexes.

Enumerates 5 species of Forficulidce (1 new), 8 of Blattidce, 2 of Lo- 
custidce (1 new), and 2 of Gryllidce. The Orthopterous Fauna is Aus- 
tralian or Malayan, as opposed to American.

By far the most important work on the subject since Fischer’s “ Or- 
thoptera Europsea ” (1853). In his introductory remarks the author 
states that the number of species has doubled since the publication of 
Fischer’s work. He explains the limits of the European fauna as defined 
by him, which are elucidated in the map, indicating the sub-regions by 
different colours ; this is followed by a chapter on the capture and pre- 
paration of Orthoptcra : then comes a full bibliography, and, finally, a 
systematic list of genera and species. The monographic portion de-
