Abstract
THE rapid progress of cecidology has led Prof. C. Houard to publish a supplement to his two indispensable volumes on the Animal Galls of Europe. This third volume deals with what has been done between 1909 and 1912, and it is astonishing to find a registration of 1,3oo new galls,bringing up the total to 7,556! The author has exercised discretion in what he has included, and he makes an appeal to those interested in galls—and what naturalist is not?—to refrain from rushing into print with new discoveries until they have studied them for, say, two successive years ! Everything has been done in the way of double entry and bibliography to make the catalogue serviceable, and both pagination and enumeration are in continuity with the previous volumes. There are 201 illustrations, and there is an appropriate frontispiece with photographs of Rübsaamen, Kieffer, Massalongo, and the late Prof. Giard.
