The revision of the Procridin", is the most detailed, but the Ameri­ can forms are only briefly considered. The family Ratard id", is also discussed with reference to its possible relationship to the Zyg",nid",. The revision is based on a thorough restudy of structural characters, notably of the venation and genitalia, which are discussed at length. The zoogeography of the family is treated in some detail. Tn an introductory section th e necessary distinction between phylogeny and its im­ perfect representation in systematics is well explained. The work concludes with a classification, to subgeneric level, of the family, a nd a list of the 25 (of 65) genera of Chalcosiin", and the 23 (of 67) genera of Procridin", which the author has not seen. More than 40 plates showing genitalia, 11 of venation, 1 of antennal structu re, 1 of miscellaneous zyg",nid types, & 4 of Procridin", are among the illustrations. A most impressive paper.
