Abstract
IN vol. ii., No. 8, of the entomological series of the Memoirs of the Department of Agriculture, the Government entomologist, Mr. H. Maxwell-Lefroy, commences a lavishly illustrated account of the life-history of Indian insects, dealing in this instance with beetles. Hitherto, it is stated, little definite information has been recorded with regard to the life-histories of the beetles of India, and entomologists will therefore welcome the particulars given by the author in the case of eight of the commoner species. In seven out'of the eight, the egg, larva, pupa, and imago are illustrated by coloured plates, executed in first-class style by the Calcutta Phototype Company.
