work will have to be done. Urech has given, in tabular form (999), the 
results of an enquiry into the colour of the scales of Lepidoptera and 
Coleoptera , and into their behaviour with several reagents. Kolbe’s 
work on general entomology (5S8) has been completed. 
The Recorder expresses his regret that ho is unable to include even 
the pities of many articles — some at any rate being, in all probability, of 
value — of numerous agricultural and other experiment stations. Of some 
of the reports and bulletins of these institutions apparently no copy is 
sent to this country. He would also take the liberty of urging on ento- 
mologists the importance of indicating the species, genera, and synonyms 
contained in their work in such a manner that those purporting to be 
new can bo detected without difficulty. Many authors make uso of an 
abbreviation of their personal name, or “ mihi,’’ where they should put 
“n. gen.” or “ n. sp.” New names proposed in this manner are liable to 
be overlooked ; and syuonyms that are not marked as new are still more 
likely to meet with this fate.
