Abstract
THE Scottish Naturalist for January.—This number is mainly occupied by a number of short papers illustrative of various subjects of interest or novelty in the natural history of Scotland, among which we may notice especially the British species of Crambus, a genus of moths, by the Editor; on the Cachalot or Sperm-whale (Physeter macrocephalus) of the north-east of Scotland, by Robt. Walker, with plate; and the commencement of the Editor's “Insecta Scotica,” an essay to catalogue the insects inhabiting Scotland, with a map to show the natural divisions of the country into the 12 districts adopted in the list. The introductory remarks to the Editer's catalogue of Lepidoptera are valuable, and the article, when completed, promises to be an important contribution to British zoological literature.
