International Journal of
lungen zur geologischen specialkarte yon Elsass-Lothringen. It is on the insects of the middle oligocene of Brunstatt, Alsatia, by Dr. B. Foerster, and describes x59 species, all but one belonging to the Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, and Hymenoptera to name them in the order of their abundance. Six excellent plates, including I7I figures, all drawn by the author, accompany the work. Two of the beetles, a Dorcatoma and a Bruchus, the latter rather imperfect, presented no features by which they could be distinguished from living European species. The mass of the species are of a small size. Interesting comparisons are instituted with the insects of other tertiary localities.

PROCEEDINGS OF SOCIETIES.
CAMBRIDGE ENTOMOLOGICAL CLUB.
3 DECEMBER, i889.The 5oth meeting of
the Club was held at I56 Brattle St., the
president in the chair.
Dr. H. A. Hagen said that from a recent
study of the species of Anax he thought that
A. concolor and A. longilhes were identical
and that the number of species so called
should be reduced.
Mr. S. H. Scudder, referring to the fossil
plant-lice found at Florissant, said that most
of the species belonged to the Aphidinae and
a very few to the Schizoneurinae. As a whole
the species differ notably fl’om modern types
in the length of the stigmatic cell and in
this respect they agree with the species from
amber and a form figured by Brodie from the
secondary rocks of England.
Mr. Scudder said that in a psocid from the
tertiary rocks of White River, the ocelli
were very large and encroached upon the
eyes.
He also showed a photograph of the fossil
butterfly (Barbarothea) mentioned at the
last meeting and called attention to the
comparative shortness of the palpi.
