ties, the number of species of the group having about doubled in the 
twenty-five years. There are no new genera comprised in this memoir 
owing to the fact that he published in 1885 a programme of the present 
revision (c/. Zool. Rec. xxii, Ins. p.256), in which the new genera were 
anticipated ; these are now fully described ; the characters of all the 
genera and species being given at length in the present memoir, which, 
however, deals with only four of the six legions that compose the sub- 
family.

In this account of the Butterflies of the Philippines, the author de-

deals with 50 species; the plates are coloured, and one of them is de- 
voted to the earlier stages. Two pages are given to outline figures illus- 
trating neuration of the genera of Banaince and Euplceince. [Reviewed,

made it clear that the changes there proposed are* objectionable ; that 
they will not meet with general assent .at present, and if they did the 
assent would not be permanent ; and that the retrospective application 
of uomencOatorial regulations in the interests of justice is not wise. (Cf.
