par Emile Blanchard, niembre delinstitut, Professeur au Museum dhistoirenaturelle. The volume consists of 716 pages of im-perial Svo., and is illustrated by 200 figures inter-calated with the text of 10 page plates, of which weare enabled to give two on the following pages asexamples. The publisher of this work is GermerBalliere, and its price is thirty francs. We cannot, within the space at our disposal, givea synopsis of the contents of this volume, nor willthe impressions of the plates equal those of theoriginal which are separately printed on plate paper,but we can commend the work to all who are in-terested in insects as a good digest of the subject.Great expense has been incurred to produce theillustrations, which, in the majority of instances,are excellent, and the Professor of the Museum ofNatural History is just the individual whom weshould expect would accomplish his work well. Our first plate (fig. 35) illustrates the history of 36 HARDWICKES SCIENCE-GOSSIP. (Eeb. 1, 1868.
