We commend it to the attention of the
editors, not only of the periodicals men- tioned, but also of others, whether it would not be well to adopt the principle illustrated in PSYCHE, of'giving, at the earliest oppor- tunity, in a systematic manner, the dates of issue of parts already issued, and omitting dates of prospective issue.

8 AUG. 1882. -The Rev. H : C. McCook
described the 'raids of Formica sanyutnea upon F. fusca -raids in which the black
slaves assist their red masters. Reds and blacks shared the labor of raising the young. The nests of F. fusca, conspicuous in places where there were no red ants, were hard to find where the latter were common. An at- tempt to introduce the red ant into a city yard failed through the attacks of the com- mon pavement ant, Tetyamorium cae.@itum. 3 OCT. 1882 -Dr. Skinner remarked that
the organ of offence of the larva of Pa$ilio, usually believed to be solid, is really hollow. rolled in and out upon itself.
10 OCT. 1882. -Rev. H : C. McCook pre-
sented a paper upon the snares of orb-
weaving spiders, and described four species of Efeira.
31 OCT. 1882. - Rev. H : C. McCook drew
attention to the use of ants as insecticides by the Chinese, and stated his belief that as no American species lived on trees, the proba- bilities were against their usefulness for a similar purpose. ,
7 Nov. 1882. -Rev. H : C. McCook pre-
sented a paper on "Ants as beneficial insec- ticides" and advocated the importation of the ant used in China for the protection of
orange trees.
14 Nov. 1882.-Mr. Thomas Meehan stated
that the nest of the wood pewee [conto~z~.~ virens] is held together by cobwebs.
5 DEC. 1882.-Dr. Horn remarked upon
the singular distribution of the apterous water-beetle Amphizoa, one species of which inhabits California, a second the district northward of that state as far as Vancouver's island, while a third has been found high up in the mountains of Thibet.
23 JAN. 1883. -Dr. Skinner stated that
Argynfzis cybde, instead of carefully deposi- ting its eggs, as is usual with butterflies, dropped them from a distance upon the her- bage.-Complied from Amer. mat., April 1883. v. 17, p. 462 - 466.
