and stems of Ai!rz'å´ftles cauescem. Collected by Mr. 33. Bethel; sent by Prof. Gillette. On one of the twigs is also a parasitised example of Mylaaspis concoZor (Ckll.), which is new toColorado. This was described as a variety of M. &a, but is doubtless distinct. The real M. alba (type locality Jamaica) must be added to the U. S. fauna, having just been found by Mr. Qaintance in Florida.

An introduction, for the young student, to the names and something of the relationship and lives of our commoner butterflies. The author has selected for treatment the hutter- flies, less than one hundred in number, which would be almost surely met with by an in- dustrious collector in a course of a year's or two year's work in our Northern States east of the Great Plains, and in Canada. While all the apparatus necessary to identify these butterflies, in their earlier as well as perfect stage, is supplied, it is far from the author's putpose to treat them as if they wereso many mere postage-stamps to be classified and ar- ranged in a cabinet. He has accordingly
added to the descriptions of the different spe- cies, their most obvious stages, some of the curious facts concerning their periodicity and their habits of life.

A Chapter in Natural History for
the General Reader.

$1.00.
In this book the author has tried to present in untechnical language the story of the life of one of our most conspicuous American
butterflies. At the same time, by introduc- ing into the account of its anatomy, devel- opment, distribution, enemies, and seasonal changes some comparisons with the more or less dissimilar structure and life of other but- terflies, and particularly of our native forms, he has endeavored to give, in some fashion and in brief space, a general account of the lives of the whole tribe. By using a single butterfly as a special text, one may discourse at pleasure of many: and in the limited field which our native butterflies cover, this meth- od has a certain advantage from its simplicity and directness.
