Abstract
THE Journal of the Shanghai Science Institute, (Section 3, vol. 2, 1934, pp. 1-533) contains a bulky memoir by Mr. Yoshio Ouchi entitled “Bibliographical Introduction to the Study of Chinese Insects”. It takes the form of a catalogue of references of all systematic, and some other, papers dealing with the insects of China up to the year 1932. It is arranged in taxonomic fashion according to orders, followed, in most groups, by subdivision under the individual families. Facility of reference is thus assured and, it may be added, the work appears to be remarkably complete. An immense number of periodicals in many languages has been explored and the enterprise is one which deserves high commendation. A compilation of this kind will prove of the utmost value in a country far removed from the scientific centres of Western civilisation. In vol. 3, 1935 (pp. 17-88), of the same journal, the author brings this work further up to date in listing all papers of similar bearing published during the year 1933.
