A list of 197 species, 27 of them Rhopalocera ) 172 Heterocerci ; 71 are 
new, and there are 14 new genera. He considers they are only a small 
part of the Lepidoptera of the island, and were collected at two Mission-' 
stations in the south of the island. I have recorded this from a separate 
copy ; the pagination is, I believe, not that of the original periodical.

A summary of Mayr’s 1885 paper [cf. Zool. Rec. xxii, Ins. Titles,

fig-frequenting Ilymenoptera. The second note is to correct the first.

Refers positively some of the genera described by Mayr as being dis- 
tinct to the position of apterous males of species for which other genera 
were established. “ Thus we have among the fig-insects of the Itajahy 
at least seven trimorphic species, consisting of females, winged, and wing- 
less males.”

This describes a large number of larvas and pupa3 of butterflies observed 
by the author during a visit to Brazil ; the descriptions usually refer to 
all the stages of the larvae, Weismann’s nomenclature being used ; the 
food-plants are mentioned, and species described by other authors are 
alluded to, so as to give a general idea of the larvae in the family. He 
includes Acrceinai, H eliconince, Nymphalince, Brassolince , Morphince , and 
Satyrince as subfamilies, and gives a supplement relating to larvae of 
Danaince. In addition to this large contribution to descriptive ento- 
mology, the memoir contains much other matter. The development of 
the markings, their character, whether protective or otherwise, and their 
relations to tubercles are discussed ; much attention is given to the
