I give here a list of those of the Entomological writings of my late esteemed friend, Mr. Coleman T. Robinson, that have been published under his sole signature.

These recommended themselves to the attention of the student by the conscientious statement and adequate illustration of the different species they discuss. The were all writtent subsequent to Mr. Robinson's return in 1868, from a journey to England and Continental Europe, during the prosecution of which a representative collection of European Lepidoptera was acquired, and especial attention was paid to the smaller moths.

At page 92, ante, I have described as Depressaria albisparsella, a species which, on examination of other specimens, I have concluded to make the type of a new genus. As stated on a preceding page, the species was described from a single captrued,specimen, the wings of which were not spread. The specimen was also slightly injured, so as to cause the brush on the palpi to appear to be divided, and to obscure some of the markings of the wings, which are faint even in perfectly fresh specimens. Since then I have bred and captured other specimens, and find that it differs from Depressaria in the following particulars

Head and palpi very pale ochreous, almost white, a little darker on top, a dark brown spot extends almost entirely around the base of the third joint of the palpi, and another entirely around it before the apex. Antennae brownish, with about six white annulations in the apical part.Thorax and base of the wings pale ochreous, sparsely dusted with fuscous, with a fuscous line across the wing close to the base. About the basal one-fourth of the wing a fuscous streak passes obliquely backwards as far as the fold, and from thence to the apex the wing is pale ochreous, rather thickly dusted with fuscous and dark ochreous, with the extreme apex fiscous.

[173] 229. Callidium simile Kirby.–Lenerh of body 7 lines. A single specimen taken with the preceding specics.

This species in most respects is so like C. M. proteus, that I had set it by as another variety; but upon further consideration I am induced to give it as a distinct, sincc it differs not only in colour but in the form and sculpture of the prothorax and other parts.

This genus comes next to Smicra, which has the greatest development of the peculiar characters of the family Chalcididae, such as the compact antennæ, the robust body, the large quadrate prothorax, and the much dilated hind thighs. In all these characters this family agrees with Leucospidae, from which it totally differs in the structure of the abdomen, and the two families have a supremacy of structure which is not wholly shared by any other in the tribe Chalcididae.

We have here before us a paper by an accomplished scholar, on a Subject dear to us from our own studies. Mr. Scudder's Revision presents two main points for our consideration. The first pont affects the sequence of the Butterflies in a systematic arrangement ; the second the application; of the scientific law of priority.. As to the first, the consideration which have influenced Mr. Scudder to side rather with Oschsenheimer than with Boisduval, where the present Revision is not original, are evidently not lightly taken.

The wasp-like moth of the peach borer, Egeria exitiosa will be busy during the present month, depositing her eggs on the bark of the trunks of the Peach trees; then as soon as the eggs hatch, the young grubs wil1 begin to eat their way to the inner bark, where it is difficult to reach them. Much good may yet be done, either in preventing the moths from laying their eggs, or, if laid, in destroying the young larvaæ, by brushing the trunks and main branches of the trees with soft soap, reduced with lye to about the consistence of paint.

A few months ago, I spent sorne time over the rich collection of drawings by Abbott, now in the British Museum. Thinking that some of his memoranda may not be unacceptable to the readers of your magazine. I transcribe the substance of what is written on those butterflies which occur in the North as well as in the South, no copy of the others having been taken. The botanical names of the plants have, in most cases, been inserted in the MSS. by some subsequent student; those which bear the initials A.W.C., are due to the kindness of Dr. Chapman.

The following is a description of Limochores bimacula, Scuds ♂ , Hesperia acanoatus, Scudd., which I drew up some time ago:-

Dark brown marked with chrome yellow.

Above: head, thorax, abdomen and antennae black, the head and abdomen having a few yellow hairs. Both wings dark olive brown; primaries with a indistinct spot a little above and beyond the outer termination of the disk; a large patch extends over the middle third from the outer margin to the disc, and is crossed by a black velvety dash, which if continued would bisect the apical angle

Cone of the vertex smooth on the margins, apex mucronate. Mesosernum bidentate. Green: labrum, clypeuss and underside of the cone yellow.

Male and, Female. Cone of the vertex standing obliquely forward, apex mucrornate, the minute spine slightly deflexed, especially in the female; the sides parallel from the base a little above the first joint of the antennæ, where they are slightly angulate; not serrated or granulated on the margins; front side has, near the base, a prominent tubercle; there is also a tubercle below this between the antennæ
