A list of Labrador insects will be found in Dr. A. S. Packard's recent book The Labra- dor Coast (N. Y., Hodges) on pp. 385-396 and 446-447. He catalogues 233 species di- vided as follows: Arac̤hnid 11, Myriopoda I, Orthoptera I, Odonata 2, Hemiptera 4, Platyptera I, Plectoptera 3, Trichoptera 2, Coleoptera 63. Diptera 11. Lepidoptera 108, and Hymenoptera 26. Notes of distribution and a few dates are added.
Entomologists should not overlook a holi- day book of unusual interest for them, no- ting the out-door and in-door observations of a rambler who knows how to use both eyes and pencil, not to say pen. It is a volume by the artist William Hamilton Gibson,
called "Sharp eyes, a rambler's calendar of fifty-two weeks among insects, birds, and flowers" (Harper's, $5.00). Both text and illustrations, the latter on nearly every page, are by the same hand; better, more living pictures of our insects have never been
given, especially where they are represented in flight, when they rival the pictures by Giacon~elli; and yet all are "process cuts." The volume is excellent reading as well, and tells the stories of the lives of our common insects in a charming way. It is an admir- able book to stimulate the young observer. In a superb monograph of the trees which .
furnished the Baltic amber, with eighteen finely colored quarto plates, Conwentz of Danzig publishes some notices of amber in- sects, especially of such us were injurious to the species of Pinus which yielded amber; among other things he figures the borings of a beetle referred by Kolbe to Anthaxia and the larval burrows in the dead wood which Brischke looks upon as the work of a Sciara. Dr. Juan Gundlach has just finished the
printing of the second volume of his Ento- mologia Cubana which contains the Hymen- optera, Neuroptera, and Orthop tera.
Prof. John B. Smith's promised List of
Lepidoptera of Boreal America has been
issued by the American enton~ological soci- ety; it extends to 124 pages and includes 6020 nominal species, of which 640 are but- terflies, 229 Sphingidae and Sesiidae, jgo the families allied to Lithosiidae and Bombjci- dae, 1861 Noctuina, 651 Geometrina, 634
Pyralidina, 429 Tortricina, and 986 Tineina. It follows the style of Grote's Check libt of American moths.
