William Lewin published in this year, The Papilios of Great Britain, in quarto ; in which he describes in English, with very elegant figures, all the species of butterfly at that time known to inhabit these islands, which amounted to about sixty. We understand that the author intended to have figured all the Lepidoptera of Britain; but his untimely death prevented his pro ceeding farther than the Papiliones.
Latreille in this year produced his Precis du Charac tere des Genres, in which he divides insects into two sections, viz. those with and those without wings, and these he divides into the following orders: Colcopteres, Orthopteres, Heinipares, Xeuropteres, Lepidopteres, Su ceurs, Tiysanours, Parasites, ?1cepheks, Entomostraces, Crustaces, and Myriapodes ; as he has completely alter ed this arrangement in his latter works, we shall omit noticing this method farther, as it will be sufficiently ob vious to the reader what these alterations are from the terms employed, he.

Jacob Ellibner published his Der Samlung Europois cher Schmetterlinge, Ausburg, in quarto. But few co pies of this beautiful work have reached this country, and, as we have not examined it with care, must refrain from giving our opinion on it. From what we have seen, it appears to be a valuable publication.
The second volume of Catalogus Bibliot/zecte Histo rico naturalis, Josep/zi Banks, Baroncti, by T. Dryan der, comprehending the entomological works of that immense collection of books, was published in 1796. We cannot speak too highly of its contents, which are admirably arranged, in such a manner as to be in itself a valuable bibliothecal system of entomological writers.
In 1797, C. W. Hennert published at Berlin a work in quarto, entitled Veber den Raupenfras und Winbruch in den Jahren.
And Dr J. E. Smith published a magnificent work in folio, in London, entitled The natural History of the rarer Lepidopterous Insects of Georgia, collected from the Observations of Mr John Abbott. It is comprised in two volumes, with about an hundred plates; and the insects are represented in their different statcs, on one of the plants on which they feed. Mr Abbott, the gentleman from whose notes and drawings the work was formed, was an assiduous collector of insects resi ding in North America, from whom many of the Lon don cabinets have received the most valuable specimens of the insects of those regions, in the highest state of preservation.
