Emery’s paper (230) on the trituratory or suction-crop of Ants deserves 
attention, as does also Cuccati’s (172) on the brain of a Fly. 
Fritze (289) deals with an interesting subject, viz., the condition of 
the alimentary canal in the perfect Insect of Ephemeridce ; and Graber 
(325), under the terms polypody and pantopody, speculates whether, in 
ancestral Insects, additional, or all of the, segments of the body were 
furnished with legs. Other important memoirs on embryological ques- 
tions are given by the same author (324), Henking (370), and Will (930). 
Papers by Deichmuller (178) and Oppeniieim (642) on the fossil 
Insects of the lithographic stone of Bavaria describe numerous additional 
forms, besides revising the systematic positions of some previously 
described by Germar and others. A new periodical of a useful and 
interesting character, serving as a sort of link between economic and 
general entomology, has been commenced in America under the title of 
Insect Life. ✓ 
The Recorder will feel greatly obliged by any omissions or important 
errors being pointed out to him, so that they may, as far as possible, be 
remedied in the next volume. Several new stations of economic entomo- 
logy have been, ho understands, established in the United States of 
North America, and some of them publish reports ; but these ho has not 
seen in any library to which he has access.
