In the pages of this periodical, the following, among other articles, have 
appeared during the last three months :— 
No. 135, January:—(Couch, Jonathan) Some further Remarks on Habits 
of Bats, in continuation of his diary in Zoologist, p. 3,936 ; (Sclater, Philip 
Luttley) List of Birds exposed for Sale in the Market at Rome.

tinued from page 4,001), Terra Incognita; (Greene, Rev. Joseph) List of 
Lepidoptera captured near Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. We see by 
it that the Lithosia trebicollis meets with that pest, the ichneumon, 
nearly as often as the genus Nothodonta. (Scott, John) A few notes on 
the necessity for rearing the Tineidse, and other small groups; (Hogan, 
Arthur R.) List of Coleoptera found in the neighbourhood of Dublin (se¬ 
cond part). 
No. 137, March:—Entomological Society, President’s Address; an able 
review of the labours of the British and Foreign Entomologists during the 
last year. A suggestion thrown out by the learned President we would

should be given of papers likely to excite discussion, in order that the 
minds of those interested in the subject might have their attention specially 
directed to them. Miscellaneous Notices, &c.

January:—(Robson, Joseph) Catalogue of Wild Plants of Gosforth, 
Cumberland, and adjacent district, in 1853 ; (Warrington, Robert) On 
Preserving the Balance between the Animal and Vegetable Organisms in 
Sea-water. A very interesting communication on a subject which is now 
engaging the attention of many of our leading naturalists, and which will, 
probably, ere long, lead to the discovery of many facts hitherto unnoticed. 
Notices of Books—(Shacht, Dr. Herman) The Microscope in its Special 
Application to Vegetable Anatomy and Physiology; (Leeman, Berthold, 
H.M.S. Herald) Part III., Botany. Proceedings of Societies—Phytologist 
Club. Among other notices we have here a new Irish Equisetum recorded, 
and forming the third striking form of Equisetum discovered in Ireland, 
the other being E. Mackaii and E. Wilsoni; the new plant has been 
named E. Moorii , in honour of its discoverer. It may be distinguished 
from E. Hyemale , the species it most resembles, by the long, loose , white 
sheaths, with white , setaceous teeth , besides the stems are longer , much more
