REVIEWS.
KATTEK'S INDEX EMTOBIOLOGICUS Pars K [gee Bee., no.18101 is a list of the entomologists of Europe as far as its author has been able to learn their nainea, together with their addresses, the departments of entomology to which they give their especial attention, and an indication of those desiring to exchange specimens. To the above is added a list, extracted from the %rd- ids' Directory (Salem, 1878), of 73 American col- lectors dc~iring to exchange, and a list of the entomological societies and publications of the world. Although the list is defective for coun- tries mtsicle of Germany, yet the following com- parison, basedaon a hasty count, not including the five pages of additions and errata, may Ie of interest. The entomologists and collectors enu- merated are
distributed as follows : Germany,
740; Austria, 213 ; Switzerland, 97 ; Holland, 84; Belgium, 93; Italy, 128; Spain, 19; Portu- gal, 2 ; Greece, 3 ; Roumda, 1 ; Russia, 58 ; Fin- land, 8 ; Sweden, 26 ; Norway, 2; Denmark, 4; England, 433 ; Scotland, 15 ; Ireland, 3; France (whose coleopterists are not included), 197 ; total, 21213. Of entomological societies, Europe is cred- ited with 17 ; America, 4, and Australia, 1. G: D.
BERNHARD GERHABIT'S catalog of the macro- lepidoptera of North America [see Rec., no. 15841 seems to have received but little notice at the hands of entomologists. Like most publications of its kind which have been compiled in localities distant from the land the fauna of which they enumerate, Gerhard's catalog is imperfect and incomplete in many particulars. This catalog a^aumeK to give the synonymy of our species, but contains the names of only 103 genera of rhspalocera out of over 150 names which may fairly be termed in modem UBG. It is useless to call attention to special errors, as our specice are SO well cataloged by American writers,
