as to the classification of the Diptera. The author proposes to divide the 
order into two tribes, Omalocerati and Anomalocerati ; this latter is 
divided into Zoobice , Melitobice, and Nycteribice ; these the author also 
styles tribes, and divides into “ curies,” these latter being again 
divided to arrive at genera. In the table of the genera forming the 
“ curie ” Zoobicli , a considerable amount of generic synonymy is intro¬ 
duced. [Cf. Mik, Wien. ent. Z. v. pp. 79 & 80, who decides that this 
system is “ eine nomenclatorische Spielerei.”]

These two groups are only provisionally admitted as distinct, the first 
from the “ Tachinaires and Muscides,” the second from the “ Muscides,” 
p. 255. Some preliminary explanations are given, pp. 256-259, and the 
rest of the- memoir is devoted to tabulation of the genera, one genus 
being presumably new.

Consists of three memoirs : 1, descriptions of new genera and species ; 
2, a systematic catalogue of the Coleoptera of the Archipelago, so far as 
yet known ; 3, a topographical table, showing the distribution in the 
Archipelago, with summary, generalizations, and comments (this is by 
Sharp alone). A description of the Archipelago, from an entomological 
point of view, is given by Blackburn as an appendix to Part i. 
(pp. 197-208). 150 genera are recorded, comprising 428 species, 99 of 
the genera and 352 of the species being peculiar to the Archipelago. 
Sharp’s comments (pp. 263-274) are not amenable to condensation ; 
but on pp. 272 & 273 he calls attention to the extreme importance of the 
study of the organic products of remote islands, and the importance of 
the speedy acquisition of specimens for this purpose, owing to the rapid 
extinction that is going on.
