Abstract
THE American Naturalist for June contains no article of very striking value, though several of interest in special subjects. Dr. Elliott Coues contributes an account of the yellow-headed blackbird, Xanthocephalus icterocephalus, first described by Prince Buonaparte in his continuation of Wilson's Ornithology.—An article on Cuban Seaweeds, by Dr. W. G. Farlow, includes outline drawings of a number of distinct types.—Dr. Lebaron describes a new species of moth, the larva of which is extremely destructive to young apple trees, which he calls Tortrix maliz orana, or the Lesser Apple Leaf-folder.—Mr. E. L. Greene contributes June Rambles in the Rocky Mountains, with special reference to their flora.—From Dr. Henry Shimer we have “Additional Notes on the Striped Squash Beetle,” and from Prof. W. H. Brewer, “Animal Life in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.”—A larger space than usual is occupied by Reviews, among which is one of Mivart's “Genesis of Species,” comparing the views of the author with those of the American writers, Cope and Hyatt.
