new Lepidoptera, Euperia samhuci , Atethmia canescens (two 
varieties), and Anarta miniuli. He unfortunately commits the 
indiscretion of giving his descriptions in Latin. Why this 
“ survival ” should be more common in entomology than in other 
sciences it might be hard to show. 
The same author communicates a useful “ biological synopsis ” 
of the Californian Lepidoptera. He gives in parallel columns the 
name of the insedt, its food-plant, its degree of frequency, and, 
if destructive, whether it is an endemic or epidemic pest; in the 
fourth, the season of appearance of the mature insedt. If there 
are more broods than one, this is expressed by a 2 or a co . If 
only one brood, it is called vernal if it appears before the flowering 
of JEsculus Californica, festival if during that time, and 
autumnal if later. It will somewhat surprise the British ento- 
mologist to find D eilephila lineata not merely common, but two- 
brooded, and sometimes an epidemic pest. 
Mr. E. Lee Greene contributes “ Studies in the Botany of 
California and Parts adjacent.” This paper includes a very 
careful account of the genus Eschscholzia, one of the most 
characteristic forms of the Pacific coast. 
Mrs. Mary K. Curran furnishes a list of the plants described 
in California, by Dr. A. Kellogg, Dr. E. H. Behr, and Mr. H. N. 
Bolander. 
Mr. H. W. Harkness describes the fungi of the Pacific coast, 
and gives some notes on nomenclature.
