GENERAL NOTES :-Hudson's Elementary
manual of New Zealand entomology, an oc- tavo work of 136 pp. and 21 colored plates, is not at all what its title would lead one to expect. It is rather an account of a selected series of insects of all orders, aboutfi3 spe- cies, the life-history or habits of which were more or less known to the author. Perhaps the most interesting and the fullest are those of species of Hepialus and Oeceticus. Its value consists in this and the figures of the larvae, etc., which are unfortunately rather too vague and generalized for special use. It is, however, an interesting sketch of in- sect-life at the antipodes.
The third part of Lowne's Anatomy of the blowfly, concluding the first of two volumes;, contains 136 pp. and 10 pi. It discusses the topographical anatomy of the muscles and viscera of the imago, the embryology, the general anatomy and histology of the insect, and the development of the nymph in the
pupa. The next volume will deal with the internal organs. Many of the author's views are diametrically opposed to those usually received, but in such cases both sides are presented.
The tenth part of Moore's Lepidoptera
Indica deals entirely with the Satyrinae, but contains nothing of general interest.
The Royal Society of New South Wales
offers its medal andtwenty-five pounds for the best communication on each of several subjects, among which is one "on the in- juries occasioned by insect-pests upon intro- duced trees" in that country. The offer is closed in May, 1893.
Theodore Shaw of Wellesley, Mass., a boy of nine, informs us that on June 14 last he caught a specimen of He-radicles cresfionfes in that town. It is not known to have been seen in Massachusetts since 1883.
