Nova Acta Ac. L.-C. Nat. cur. xlvii. pp. 271-314, pis. xxiv.-xxvii. 
This is one of a series of memoirs on the wings of Insects, the corre¬ 
sponding memoir on the wing of Hymenoptera being referred to in Zool. 
Rec. xxi. Ins. p. 126, the object being in each order to obtain a typical 
wing, “ Flhgelschema ” ; the types so obtained to be afterwards com¬ 
pared. The present paper is the attempt to deal homologically with the 
wing in numerous families of Diptera, and the plates represent wings of 
46 different species with the veins classified by means of colours and 
dotted lines. 
4. Allard, E. Classification des Adesmides et des Megagenides. 
\_Coleoptera.'\ Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (6) v. pp. 154-208. 
Consists of analytical tables for the determination of the genera and 
species, followed by diagnoses which for the most part are those given by 
the author who first described such species. Few novelties.

This is primarily an entomological paper, 184 pp. and all the plates 
being devoted to the Insecta. Most of the orders are dealt with in more 
or less detail, and one of the chief aims of the author appears to be the 
establishment of an orismology homologically applicable to all the orders. 
Considerable attention is given to the muscular system ; the plates are 
chiefly magnified representations of the articulations and connections 
between the base of the wing and the thorax.

American Hymenoptera have been found.

No. 4, t. c. pp. 127-158. 
These parts are devoted to Homoptera , and consist chiefly of transcrip¬ 
tions of descriptions of E. Indian species, with a few novelties. 
10. -. The Himalayan Districts of the North-Western Provinces of 
India. Yol. n. (forming vol. xi. of the Gazetteer N. W. P.). Alla¬

Pp. 96-264 of this work are devoted to Insects, and a catalogue of the 
species proper to the district is given, but is compiled chiefly from old 
works. Rather more trouble has been taken with the Lepidoptera than 
with the other orders.
