The growing popularity of Orchids, the ever-increasing demand for information respecting them, and the indifferent serial works relating to this lovely and important class of plants hitherto published, have furnished sufficient reasons for this great work. It was the aim of the authors to represent truthfully the natural aspect of the plants, which are drawn life-size, and in addition to the coloured illustrations, scientific drawings of the structural parts of the flowers have been given when desirable. Some of the plant-portraits are coloured by lithography, others are hand-painted, as was found expedient. To the detailed information respecting each plant are added practical notes on its culture. It was the intention of the authors to illustrate all classes of the Orchid family, and species and varieties of garden value, whether old or new, have found a place in the work. A large number of the earlier parts having been long out of print, the complete work is now VERY SCARCE. 394 SARGENT. The Silva of North

America. By Prof. Charles
Cambridge, 1898

As it has been found impracticable to include in this twelfth volume of Professor Sargent's great work the general Index to the entire work, a thirteenth volume, containing this Index, together with descriptions and illustrations of recently discovered species, and such corrections of the original volumes as recent explorations have made necessary, will be sent to subscribers without charge, as soon as ready. 395 SAUNDERS (W.

"From Sir William Flower's preface to the twenty-sixth volume we are pleased to learn that a supplement, containing references to every species of bird described subsequently to the publication of the volume which treats of the group to which it belongs, is in preparation, and will be accompanied by a general index.

This will be a most valuable edition, and will serve to render the vast stores of ornithological lore comprised in the twenty-seven volumes of the Great Catalogue of Birds' still more useful to future workers.

"Those who have planned and those who have carried out this important undertaking alike deserve the grateful thanks of all zoologists."-Nature, Jan. 26th, 1899. 435 LEPIDOPTERA PHALÆNÆ of the Whole World, a Series to be pub

1899
The Trustees of the British Museum having sanctioned the publication of a series
of volumes on the Moths of the World, and entrusted Sir George Hampson with the
commencement of the work, I beg to call your attention, as being interested in the
classification of the Lepidoptera, to the following scheme, which has been approved of
for the work. The chief want of entomologists working at this subject at the present
time is a comparative analysis of the genera in each family, on the lines of the
classification originated by Herrich-Schäffer, and Lederer for the European fauna, and
amplified of late years by Snellen, Meyrick, J. B. Smith, E. L. Ragonot and others,
for various groups of the Palearctic, Nearctic, Oriental, and Australian faunas.
