onovan, an English naturalist, has published a considerable variety of illustrated works on natural history. We shall here mention only his entomological productions: An Epitome of the Natural History of the Insects of China. 1 vol. in 4to, 1798.—An Epitome of the Natural History of the Insects of India. 4to, 1800-4. 2d ed. 1842.—General Illustrations of Entomology, part i.—An Epitome of the Insects of Asia. 1 vol. 4to, 1805.—The Natural History of English Insects. 16 vols. 8vo, 1792-1813. The preceding were valuable and praise-worthy publications for their time, though not in every respect characterized by the scientific accuracy or critical skill which distinguish so many of the entomological works of the present day.

Dratzez, professor of chemistry at Brussels, has published Mémoires sur un nouveau genre d'Insectes Coléoptères, et Description de quelques nouvelles espèces d'Insectes, in the Annales Générales des Sciences Physiques, Paris, 1819-21.

Ferdinand Ochsenheimer is the author of a German work on the Lepidoptera of Europe, Schmetterlinge von Europa, highly esteemed for its critical accuracy and excellent descriptions of the species. The first volume was published in 8vo, at Leipzig, in 1806. The author died in 1822, leaving his work in an incompleted state, only four volumes having been published during his lifetime, the last of which appeared in 1816, consisting chiefly of an improved sketch of his arrangement, from the first to the eighty-seventh genus. Before his death, however, only the first forty-three genera were published in detail, with the characters and descriptions of their respective species; these occupy the first three volumes, the last of which terminates with the genus Euprepia, for the fourth contains, besides the sketch of the arrangement, only notes concerning some of the species published in the preceding volumes. The work has been continued by M. Frederick Treitschke, and the English reader will find an abstract of it by the late J. G. Children, Esq., F.R.S., with a list of the species of each genus, and references to one or more of their respective icons, in the Philosophical Magazine and Annals for 1829. Where the generic characters appeared meagre or defective, Mr Children has given additional ones from the writings of other entomologists; and he has also indicated in numerous notes the new lepidopterous genera (chiefly by Stephens and Curtis), to which the British species mentioned in the text are now to be referred. We may add to the above notice that this great work on the European Lepidoptera, Die Schmetterlinge von Europa, the conjoined labours of Ochsenheimer and Treitschke, is, if not completed, at least terminated, and now consists of 10 vols. 8vo, Leipzig, 1806-36.

James Hubner. Sammlung Europäischer Schmetterlinge. 5 vols. 4to, fig. col., Augsb. 1805-32.—Geschichte Europäischer Schmetterlinge. 4to, Augsb. 1806-34.—Sammlung Exotischer Schmetterlinge. 4to, fig., Augsb. 1806-34. This author was a painter of Augsburg, and his work on the European Lepidoptera is one of the most complete which we possess. It has also the advantage of being proportionally less expensive than many other illustrated volumes, and it exhibits a great variety of Larvae. Hubner is the author of several other entomological works besides those named above.

Carl Fred. Fallén. Observationes Entomologicae. Lund, 1802-7.—Monographia Cicadarum Sueciae. 8vo, Holmiae, 1805-6.—Monographia Cantharidum et Malachiorum Sueciae. 4to, Lund, 1807.—Specimen Entomologorum Dipterorum disponeendi methodum exhibens. 4to, Ibid., 1810-14.—Hydrocorides et Naucoresides Sueciae. 4to, Ibid., 1814.—Aribii Sueciae, 4to, Ibid., 1814.—Ar- Francis Klug, M.D., of Berlin, and one of the directors of the museum there, has contributed many treatises to Entomology. Of these we may indicate the following:—Monographia Stiricum Germaniae, &c. 1 vol. 4to, with coloured plates, Berlin, 1803.—A Critical Review of the genera of Fabricius, derived from Apis of Linnaeus, published in Illiger's Magazin für Insectenkunde, 1807.—Entomologische Monographien, 1 vol. 8vo, with figures, Berlin, 1824.—Prosopis novum genus Insectorum Orthopterorum, in folio, with plates.—Entomologische Brasilianische Specimen. Dr Klug has published in German (Bericht über, &c.) a Rapport on a collection of coleopterous insects from Madagascar, 1 vol. 4to, with plates, Berlin, 1835; and he is the author of an Entomological Annual—Jahrbucher der Insectenkunde, of which we are acquainted with only a single volume, published at Berlin in 1824. In conjunction with Ehrenberg he has figured and described various African and Asiatic insects in Symbolae Physicae, fol., fig. col., Berlin, 1829–30; and has published several monographs of great value.

John Louis Charles Gravenhorst, of Gottingen, a skillful entomologist, has composed the following works:—Coleoptera micropterata Brunneicollis. 1 vol. 8vo, 1802.—Monographia Coleopterorum micropterorum. 1 vol. 8vo, 1806.—Monographie du genre Ichneumon. 1 vol. 8vo, with figures, 1814.—Monographia Ichneumonum Pedemontis regionis, forming a portion of the twenty-fourth volume of the Mem. de l'Acad. des Sciences of Turin.—Monographie des Ichneumons Aptères. 1 vol. 8vo, with figures.—Conspectus generum et familiarium Ichneumonidum, in 4to, conjointly with Nees ab Esenbeck.—Beiträge zur Entomologie. 1 vol. 8vo.—Lastly, Ichneumonologia Europaea, in 3 large 8vo volumes, 1829, containing above 2800 pages, devoted to the Ichneumonidae alone.

Charles Schreiber, director of the imperial cabinet of natural history at Vienna, among his other writings has given us descriptions of various Coleopterous Insects, with figures, in the 6th vol. of the Linn. Trans., 1806.

Marcel de Serres, professor of mineralogy to the Faculty of Sciences of Montpellier, has composed many excellent articles on the anatomy of insects, printed in the Mem. du Museum and elsewhere (see especially his observations on the Vaisseau dorsal, ibid., 1819), and has published a Mémoire sur les yeux composés et les yeux lisses des Insectes, &c. 1 vol. 8vo, with figures, 1813.

William Elford Leach, M.D., F.R.S., &c., an English naturalist of great zeal and intelligence, continued Dr Shaw's work, under the title of the Zoological Miscellany, 3 vols. 8vo, Lond. 1814–17. He was also the author of various elaborate treatises on insects, published in the Linn. Trans., and in the British and foreign Encyclopedias. His enthusiasm for Entomology has been productive of an advantage to the study in this country, which has now spread insensibly far beyond the benefit directly derivable from his own particular labours. His early death was much deplored.

Nees ab Esenbeck, a noted botanist, has published Monographie der Ichneumoniden. 2 vols. 8vo, Stuttg., 1828.

Also Hymenopterorum Ichneumonibus affiniim Monographia. Vol. 1st and 2d, Stuttgart, 1834.

William Sharpe Macleay, A.M., is the author of a work named Horae Entomologicae, or Essays on the Annulose Animals, 1 vol. 8vo, in two parts, 1819–21, remarkable for its elucidation of the circular progression of affinities. It is a production of great value. The same author has published Annulosa Javanica, part 1st, 4to, Lond. 1825, and has contributed various papers to the Linn. Trans., the Zoological Journal, and the Transactions of the Zoological Society.

The Rev. Landsdown Guilding, of St Vincent's, deceased, was one of the most active of the naturalists ever stationed within the tropics. He was the author of several entomological papers published in the Transactions of the Linnean Society (1829, &c.), and the Zoological Journal.

John James Hagenbach, who died in 1826, was one of the conservators of the Royal Museum of Leyden. He made known a singular coleopterous insect, from Java, in his Mormolyce novum genus. 1 vol. 8vo, with a plate, Nuremberg, 1825. He was also the author of Symbola Fauna Insectorum Helvetici. Fascic. 1, with plates, Basil, 1822.

Arvid David Hammel wrote Quelques Observations sur la Blatte Germanique, in 8vo, Petersburg, 1821; and between that year and 1827 he published six numbers of Essais Entomologiques.

No. 58, and of a Monographia Tenthriddinarum Synonymia extricata, 1 vol. 8vo, Paris, 1823. He has communicated to the Academy of Sciences Observations sur les accouplements de diverses espèces de Volucelles, genre de Diptères; and has composed, jointly with M. de Serville, the tenth volume of Entomologie de l'Encyclopédie Méthodique. With M. Brullé, he has published a Monographie du Genre Crabro in Ann. Soc. Ent. iii. 683; and in his own proper person is the author of Hist. Nat. des Insectes Hyménoptères. 3 vols. 8vo, fig. Paris, 1836.

C. R. G. Wiedmann, professor at Kiel, has written Diptera exotica, 1 vol. in 8vo, part first, with figures, Kiel, 1821. He is likewise the author of Analecta Entomologica, in 4to, with plates, Kiel, 1824, and of other works.

C. L. Sahlberg, professor of natural history at Abo in Finland, commenced an Entomology of that country, under the title of Dissertatio Entomologica Insecta Fenica enumeratis. 8vo, 1817–1823. He is also the author of Periculi Entomographici. 1 vol. 8vo, with plates, Abo, 1823.

George Dahl, of Vienna, an entomological merchant, or dealer in insects, and a well-instructed entomologist, has printed catalogues of the different orders, particularly Coleoptera and Lepidoptera. 1 vol. 8vo, Vienna, 1823.

Gottlieb Fischer de Waldheim, a German naturalist, is (or was) director of the Imperial Museum of Moscow. To this author we owe innumerable papers, entomological and other, in the Memoirs and Bulletins of the Société Impér. de Moscou, &c. We shall here name only some of such as have been published apart, Entomographia Imperii Russici (et genera Insectorum systematice exposita, &c.) 4 vols. 4to, col. pl., Mosquæ, 1820-43.—Lettre au Dr Prazier, contenant un notice sur plusieurs nouveaux Insectes, 4to, Ibid. 1820.—Notice sur l'Argus de Perse (Mallich de Mianeh), décrits par les voyageurs sous le nom de Punaise ténineuse de Miana, 4to, Ibid. 1823.—Lettre sur le Physodactyle, nouveau genre de Coloptères Elateroides, 8vo, Ibid. 1824.—Notice sur le Tetigotis, nouveau gen. d'Orthoptères de la Russie, 8vo, Ibid. 1830.—Notice sur Phlocerus, nouveau gen. d'Orthop. de la Russie, 4to, Ibid. 1833.—Catalogus Coleopterorum in Siberia orientali, &c. 8vo, Mosc. 1842.

Exposition d'une méthode Naturelle pour l'étude et la classification des Insectes. 8vo, fig. Paris, 1801.—Considerations générales sur la classe des Insectes. 8vo, fig. Paris, 1823. He has published many excellent Reports in the Comptes Rendus.

Leon Dufour, a physician in Saint Sever (Landes), is the author of several highly esteemed contributions to entomology. We shall here mention Mémoire Anatomique sur une nouvelle espèce d'Insecte du genre Brachine, in the 18th vol. of the Annales du Muséum d'Hist. Nat., Paris, 1811.—Mémoires sur l'Anatomie des Coleoptères, des Cicales, des Cicadelles, des Labidourées ou Forficulæ.—sur une nouvelle espèce d'Ornithomyia.—sur le genre Oxyptère.—all printed in the Annales des Sciences Naturelles, 1824-28. He has also written Sur l'Anatomie des Scolecs, in the Journal de Physique. Sept. 1818; besides describing many new species of Coleoptera, and the anatomy of Ranatra linearis, and of Nepa cinerea, in the Annales Générales des Sciences Physiques. Among his other works may be mentioned, Recherches Anatomiques et Physiologiques sur les Hemiptères, accompagnées de considérations relatives à l'histoire naturelle et à la classification de ces insectes. 1 vol. 4to, with plates, Paris, 1833.—Recherches anatomiques, &c., sur les insectes Coleoptères des genres Macrophylus et Elmias. 8vo, Paris, 1835.—Mémoire pour servir à l'histoire des Odynières, &c. 8vo, Ibid. 1839.—Hist. des metam. des Cecidomyes. 8vo, Ibid. 1840.—Observations sur les metam. du Cerceris buzyctesticus, &c. 8vo, Ibid. 1840.—Recherches anatomiques et physiologiques sur les Orthoptères, les Hyménoptères, et les Neuroptères. 4to, Ibid. 1841.

A. J. Duponchel is the continuator of the Histoire Naturelle des Lepidoptères de France, of the late M. Godart, 11 vols. 8vo, Paris, 1821-40. There is a Supplement to the preceding, in 4 vols. 8vo, Ibid. 1834-45. He has published a Monographie du genre Eryote, with plates, in the 12th vol. of the Mémoires du Museum; and is, moreover, the author of the following works: Iconographie des Chenilles pour faire suite à l'Hist. nat. des Lepidoptères de France. 31 livraux, pl. col. 8vo, Paris, 1832-42.—Tableau méthodiques des Lepidoptères de l'Europe, distribués en familles, &c., pour servir de complément et de rectification à l'Hist. Nat. des Lepidoptères de France. 8vo, Paris, 1844. M. Duponchel has contributed largely to the Ann. de la Soc. Ent., and other periodicals.

Romaineau-Desvoidy, a physician of St Saver, has written several elaborate treatises relating to Entomology, such as Recherches sur l'organisation vertébrale des Crustacés, des Arachnides, et des Insectes. 1 vol. 8vo, Paris, 1828.—Essai sur la tribu des Culicidæ, in the 2d vol. of Mem. de la Soc. d'Hist. Nat. de Paris; and a work Sur les Diptères de la tribu des Muscides, printed in the Mem. des Savants Étrangers de l'Acad. des Sciences.

John Curtis, F.L.S., &c., an English entomologist, commenced and concluded several years ago a work entitled Illustrations of the Genera of British Insects. "Leurs caractères," says Baron Cuvier, "y sont représentés avec la plus grande fidélité." It may be safely asserted, that for elegance of design and accuracy of execution, combined with the most beautiful and exquisitely finished mode of colouring, it is a matter of doubt whether any rival to its plates can be found within the entire range of entomological productions. A new and less costly edition has recently appeared. Mr Curtis has also published a Guide to an arrangement of British Insects. 8vo, 1831.

James Francis Stephens, F.L. & Z.S., published a Systematic Catalogue of British Insects, in one large volume 8vo, 1829. Although it presents merely a list of names and synonyms, this is a most praiseworthy and valuable work, and was the first to exhibit a systematic view of our indigenous species. It enumerates 10,012 names of native insects, a number greatly surpassing what could have been anticipated a few years back. Mr Stephens is likewise the author of a well-known work, Illustrations of British Entomology, in 10 vols. 8vo, London, 1827-35. It is pleasingly adorned in a pictorial point of view, and containing very excellent descriptions, has not failed in being classed by competent judges with the most successful efforts in its line. By the same writer we have also the Nomenclature of British Insects, 2d edit. 1833,—a useful compendium.

H. J. Stanton has published several papers relating to insects in the Trans. Entom. Society. By the same author we have also the three following works:—Nomenclature of British Insects. 2d ed. 1833.—An Abstract of the Indigenous Lepidoptera, contained in the "Verzeichnis bekannter Schmetterlinge" of Hübner. London, 1835.—A Manual of British Coleoptera, or Beetles, containing a brief Description of all the species of Beetles hitherto ascertained to inhabit Great Britain and Ireland. 8vo, Lond. 1839.

William Swainson, F.R.S., &c., a noted naturalist, and excellent draftsman, has published, in his Zoological Illustrations (first series, 3 vols. 8vo, 1820-3, second series, 3 vols. 8vo, 1832-8), many beautiful figures of new and rare insects, chiefly Lepidoptera. The careful study of Mr Swainson's Illustrations, as well as of those of Mr Curtis, must prove delightful, not alone to the mere entomologist, but to every eye accustomed to receive pleasure from the tasteful representation of nature. The figures of our present author are almost all drawn by himself on stone. His more recent entomological work is, On the History and Natural Arrangement of Insects (in conjunction with Mr Shuckard). 8vo, Lond. 1840.

W. Woon, F.I.S., is author of Illustrations of the Linnaean Genera of Insects, 2 vols. 12mo, London, 1821; and of Index Entomologicus, or a complete illustrated Catalogue of the Lepidopterous Insects of Great Britain, 8vo, Lond. 1839-45. This useful and meritorious work contains 1944 coloured figures of butterflies and moths. A supplement by Mr Westwood has since appeared, containing the recently discovered species.

Thomas Horsfield, M.D., an English naturalist now or formerly in the service of the Honourable East India Company, is the author of Catalogue of Lepidopterous Insects in the museum of that Company, parts i. and ii. royal 4to, London, 1828-29,—a work of great interest, from its excellent representation of the metamorphoses of many Javanese butterflies.

Francis Gedde, a Russian physician and naturalist, stationed at Barnaul in Siberia, has published a memoir in 4to, entitled Observationes Entomologicae, besides various papers in the Mémoires de la Soc des Naturalistes de Moscou, chiefly vols. v. vi. and viii.; also, Catalogus Coleopterorum Siberiae Occidentalis, &c. 4to, Berlin, 1830.—Note et additamenta ad hunc Catalogum, 8vo, Mosc. 1833. He has done much to illustrate the insects of Siberia, of which otherwise we know but little.

Ernest Frederick Germar, a German naturalist, professor of mineralogy at Halle, is the author of Dissertatio sistens Bombyce Species, &c. 4to, Leipzig, 1811. Conjoined with Zinken Von Sommer, he continued Illiger's Magazin für Insektenkunde, under the title of Magazin der Entomologie, 4 vols. 8vo, Halle, 1813-21; and with Kaulfuss, carried on Ahren's Fauna Insectorum Europae, Fascic. iii.-viii., 8vo, Ibid. 1816-22. In his Reise nach Dalmatien (8vo, Altenb. 1817), he gives an account of the insects he encountered. He is the author of Insectorum Species Novae aut minus cognita, &c. 1 vol. 8vo, fig., Halle, 1824. Professor Germar has particularly applied himself to the Curculionidae; and in the work last named, in which he describes 891 Coleopterous species, 318 belong to that splendid family. He has written a great many separate papers in the Mag. der Ent., Silbermann's Rev. Ent., and in a work conducted by himself, the Zeitschrift für die Entomologie, 5 vols. 8vo, Leipzig, 1839-44.

Jean Baptiste Godart compiled the article Papillons of the Encyclopédie Méthodique, and wrote the first five volumes of the Histoire Naturelle des Lépidoptères ou Papillons de France, commenced in 1821, and continued (Godart being dead) by M. Duponchel. It now consists of 11 vols. (in 13) 8vo, Paris, 1821-40. The Supplements form 4 more vols. Ibid. 1832-45. We likewise owe to M. Godart (in conjunction with MM. Duponchel and Guénée) Iconographie des Chenilles pour faire suite à l'Hist. Nat. des Lépidoptères, &c., in livraisons, 8vo, Paris, 1832-42.

Francis Bonelli, director of the cabinet of natural history, and professor of zoology, at Turin (now deceased), was the author, among other works, of Observations Entomologiques, in two parts, published in the Mémoires de l'Academie des Sciences de Turin, for 1809. Their object is the genus Carabus of Linnaeus, which he has greatly divided; and most of his new genera have been received and adopted by entomologists. In the thirteenth volume of the above-named memoirs, Professor Bonelli has also published Descrizione de set nuovi insetti lepidotteri della Sardegna, 4to, Torino, 1824.

Charles Gustavus Carus, professor at Dresden, is the author (we need not here mention his well-known works on physiology and comparative anatomy) of a Memoir on the Circulation of the Larva of Neuropterous Insects, 4to, Leipzig, 1827.

J. Chabrier has composed a series of memoirs on the flight of insects, in which the muscular economy is well described. They are now published in a collected form, with the title of Essai sur le Vol des Insectes, 1 vol. 4to, Paris, 1820.

C. G. Mannerheim, a councillor of the Emperor of Russia, has contributed to Entomology.—Euenemis insectorum genus, 1 vol. 8vo, with plates, 1823:—Observations sur le genre Megalope, in the tenth volume of the Memoirs of the Imperial Academy of Sciences of St Petersburg, 1824:—

Description de quarante nouvelles espèces de Scarabeides du Brazil, in 4to, with plates, 1829. M. Mannerheim is likewise the author of Précis d'un nouvel arrangement de la famille des Brachylytres, in 4to, Petersburg, 1830; and has contributed to the Bulletin des Not. de Mosc. and the Rev. Zool.

Straus-Dubekheim is the author of a very admirable work,—Considerations générales sur l'Anatomie comparée des animaux articulés, auxquelles on joint l'anatomie descriptive du Hanneton. 1 vol. 4to, with plates, Paris, 1828.

Frederick Tretschke, a writer of authority on the Lepidopterous order, has continued Ochsenheimer's Schmetterlinge von Europa, 10 vols. 8vo, Leipzig, 1807-35; and is the author of Hufsbuch für Schmetterlinge sammeln. 8vo, fig., col., Wien, 1834.

François Etienne Guerin-Meneville. This assiduous author and excellent draftsman has contributed largely to entomological science, especially in the way of illustrated works. A great majority of his scientific papers have appeared in the Mag. de Zoologie, and the Rev. Zoologique, of which periodicals he has had the direction. His Iconographie du Règne Animal of Cuvier illustrates the class Insecta (of which there are 111 plates), in common with all the other great groups, and consists of 7 vols. 8vo, Paris, 1829-39. He has published a Magazine d'Entomologie, ou Description et Figures des Insectes in-dits ou non encore figurées, 8vo, Paris, 1830; and, jointly with M. Percheron, Genera des Insectes, ou Exposition détaillée de tous les caractères propres à chacun des genres de cette classe d'animaux, 8vo, fig. col., Paris, 1831-35. He worked the entomological portion of Duperry's Voyage autour du Monde (fol., Paris, 1829), of Belanger's Voyage aux Indes Orientales (4to, Paris, 1831-44), of Bory de St Vincent's Expedition Scientifique en Morée (4to, Paris, 1832-5), and of Delessert's Souvenirs d'un Voyage dans l'Inde (8vo, Paris, 1843). Along with M. Goudot he has given us an account of Insectes nouveaux observés sur les plateaux des Cordillères et dans les Vallées Chaudes de la Nouvelle Grenade; and (with Reiche) has described some Abyssinian insects in the Voyages of Ferret and Galinier—of Vaillant and Lefebure. Of these later essays we do not know the date. M. Guérin's latest work, to our knowledge, is his Recherches sur les vers à soie sauvages et domestiques. 8vo, Paris, 1854.

Jean Macquart. This author excels in his knowledge of the Dipteron order. Insectes Diptères du Nord de France. 5 vols. 8vo, fig., 1825-29.—Hist. Nat. des Insectes Diptères; ouvrage faisant suite à Buffon. 2 vols. 8vo, fig., Paris, 1834-35.—Diptères Exotiques nouveaux, ou peu connus. 3 vols. 8vo, fig., Paris, 1836-40.—Memoire sur les harmonies entomologiques, lu en séance générale du Congrès Scientifique de France. 8vo, Arras.—Mémoires sur les Insectes Nuisibles à l'Agriculture.

John William Zetterstedt, a Swedish naturalist, has published several works on the entomology of northern Europe. Orthoptera Suecica disposita et descripta. 8vo, Lund, 1821.—Fauna Insectorum Lapponica. 8vo, Hamm, 1828.—Insecta Lapponica. 4to, Leipzig, 1838-40.—Diptera Scandinavia disposita et descripta. 9 vols. 8vo, Lund, 1842-50.

Jean Victor Audouin (now deceased), sub-librarian to the Institute of France, and professor in the Jardin des Plantes, is the author of several signal works.—Recherches Anatomiques sur les thorax des animaux articulés, et celui des Hexapodes en particuliers. 8vo, Paris, 1821.—Rech. Anat. sur le Drile jaunâtre. 8vo, Ibid., 1824. Jointly with M. Milne-Edwards, M. Audouin is author of Iconographie des Insectes, 32mo, Paris, 1828; and of Résumé d'Entomologie. 2 vols. 8vo, Ibid., 1829.—With M. Brulé he has published Hist. Nat. des Insectes, traitant de leur Organisation, de leurs Mœurs en général, &c. 4 vols. 8vo, fig. col., Paris, 1834-36;—and Description des Espèces nouvelles ou peu connues de la famille des Cicindélides, faisant partie de la Coll. du Muséum. 4to, fig. col., 1839. Many years ago he gave an Explication Sommaire of the entomological plates of the great French work on Egypt. His latest and most remarkable work is his Histoire des Insectes nuisibles à la ligne et particulièrement de la Cote d'Or, &c. (6 livraux.) 4to, pl. col., Paris, 1840-42. This production almost equals in minute and laborious accuracy the famous anatomical volume by Lyonnet on the Chenille de Saule.

H. Milne-Edwards. Of this distinguished writer on comparative anatomy and physiology, the only work with which we are acquainted relating specially to insects is the Résumé d'Entomologie, just mentioned as a joint-production with M. Audouin. 2 vols. 8vo, Paris, 1828-29.

J. A. Boisduval. This noted entomologist was formerly conservator of the collection of Comte Dejean, and has published numerous works on insects, all of great value.—Notice sur cinq espèces nouvelles de Lépidoptères d'Europe. 8vo, fig., Paris, 1827.—Monographie des Zygaenides suivie d'un Tableau méthodique de classification des Coléoptères. 8vo, Ibid., 1828.—Europaeorum Lepidopterorum Index Methodicus. 8vo, Ibid., 1829.—Partie Entomologique de la Relation du Voyage autour du Monde en 1826-29, par M.

Le Comte Dejean, a peer of France, and lieutenant-general, now deceased, was one of the most noted collectors of Coleoptera in modern times. He published the Catalogue des Coleoptères de sa Collection. 3d ed., Svo, Paris, 1837-38. This work is interesting as exhibiting the amount of species in each genus and as indicating their localities. Spécies générales des Coleoptères. 6 vols. in 7, Svo, Paris, 1835-39.—Iconographie et Hist. Nat. des Coleoptères d'Europe. Svo, fig., 5 vols. 1829-40. In this work our author was aided by MM. Boisduval and Aubé. The first four volumes contain the Carabiques, and consist of 16 fasciculi, with 223 coloured plates. The fifth volume (by M. Aubé) contains the Hydrocorinthaires, and is composed of 10 fasciculi, with 41 coloured plates.

In union with M. Gory, he has given us Hist. Nat. et Iconog. des Insectes Coleoptères; 2 vols. Svo, Paris, 1835-40.—Monographie des Buprestides; Svo, fig., col., Ibid., 1834; and—Monographie du genre Clytus; Svo, fig., col., Ibid., 1835. To M. Delaporte we are also indebted for numerous papers in Guérin's Mag. de Zoologie, the Ann. de la Soc. Ent., and Silbermann's Revue.

L. Gory has contributed largely to entomology in Guérin's Magazine de Zoologie, and, in conjunction with M. Delaporte, is the author of Monographie des Buprestides. Paris, 1834. With that observer he has also executed a Monographie des Genres Clytus, and the Hist. Nat. et Iconog. des Insectes Coleoptères, 2 vols. Svo, Paris, 1840; while with M. Percheron he has published a Monographie des Cétoneis et genres voisins, &c., Paris, 1833-36.

A. R. Percheron. Besides the works above alluded to, this author has executed a Monographie des Passales, et des genres qui en ont été séparés. Svo, Paris, 1835. He has contributed to Guérin's Mag. de Zool., and is joined with that writer in his Genera des Insectes. Svo, Paris, 1831-35. He has also written Bibliographie Entomologique. 2 vols. Svo, Paris and London, 1837.

Svo, Liège, 1842.—Monographie des Coleoptères subterraneans de la famille des Phytophages. In le Mémo. de la Soc. Royale de Liège. Tom. iii. v. Brux., 1845. These volumes have since been published apart. They contain descriptions of the species of Criocecis, Lema, Sagra, Donacia, Megalopus, Clytura, Chlamys, Lamprosoma, and allied genera. It is almost appalling to the entomologist to consider the dimensions to which a descriptive catalogue of even the phytophagous coleoptera must extend when completed. M. Lacordaire has made many more special contributions to our science, and is the joint author (with M. Boisduval) of the Faune Entomologique des Environs de Paris. 1 vol. 18mo, Paris, 1835. But perhaps the most important of our present author's works is his general one, the Histoire des Insectes, now publishing in the Nouvelles Suites à Buffon. The first two volumes have appeared. The work professes to be an "Exposé méthodique et critique de tous les genres proposés jusque ici." He gives the characters of each genus, and appends a list of all the species yet described. This work is of great value, not only for classification and characters, but for general information on all that the author touches. He professes to make the entomological world aware of what is really known up to the present time,—a bold and ambitious attempt, but as likely to prove successful in the hands of M. Lacordaire as in those of any other. J. C. Chenu. This author is now (1855) carrying on an Encyclopédie d'Histoire Naturelle, which, like others under that name, is necessarily a compilation. It already contains two volumes on Coleopterous insects, and the like number upon the Lepidopterous order. Each volume contains many hundred figures (woodcuts), with a representation of almost every genus. The different departments of the work may be had separately, and are remarkable for the smallness of their cost.

George Robert Gray has contributed largely to many departments of natural history, and described numerous new insects of all orders in Griffith's translation of Cuvier's Animal Kingdom, Svo, 1829. We have also from the same author Descriptions and figures of some new Lepidopterous Insects, chiefly from Nepaul. Svo, pl., 1846.—The Entomology of Australia, in a series of Monographs. Part 1st (Phasma), 4to, London, 1833.—Synopsis of Insects belonging to the Family of Phasmidae. Svo, Lond. 1835. Mr Gray has more recently published a very handsome volume on the Papilionidae of the British Museum, with many figures of new species. This forms one of the series of Catalogues by his brother, Dr John Edward Gray (whose varied and valuable works on natural history we do not here name, as they belong to other departments of the science), prepared by direction of the trustees.

Adam White, zoologist attached to the British Museum, has contributed largely to various departments of natural history. We shall here name—Nomenclature of Coleopterous Insects in the British Museum (Cetoniada). Lond. 1847.—Nomenclature of Coleopterous Insects in da. (Hydrocantharii). Ibid. 1847.—Nomenclature of Coleopterous Insects in do. (Buprestide). Ibid. 1848.—Nomenclature of Coleopterous Insects (Cleride), with descriptions of 28 unrecorded species. Ibid. 1849.—Catalogue of Longicorn Coleoptera, with descriptions of apparently unnoticed species in the British Museum. Part 1, figures. Mr Adam White has moreover contributed many excellent special articles to Mauder's Treasury of Natural History, Svo, Lond. 1849 (3rd edit., ibid. 1854), and has added to our knowledge of new species in the appendix to Captain Grey's Western Australia, Lond. 1841; and in those of Eyre's Central Australia, Ibid. 1845; of the Voyage of H.M.S.S. Erebus and Terror, Ibid. 1846; of Dieffenbach's New Zealand; of Stokes's Discoveries in Australia, Ibid. 1846; of Macgillivray's Voyage of H.M.S. Rattlesnake, Ibid. 1852. He has figured and described Longicorn Beetles, in the illustrated Proceedings of the Zoological Society. An ample and accurate list of his writings will be found in Agassiz and Strickland's Bibliographia Zoologica, vol. iv. p. 557.

Francis Walker was the principal editor of the Entomological Magazine, 5 vols. Svo, London, 1833-7, and has contributed many papers to that work, and also to the Ann. and Mag. of Natural History, and other periodicals. Of separate works he has published—Monographia Chalciditum. 2 vols. Svo, London, 1839.—Insecta Saundersoniana. Two parts of this work are devoted by Mr Walker to the description of Diptera in the collection of Mr W. Wilson Saunders.—British Diptera (in the Insecta Britannica). Of this work two volumes have appeared, and a third is (1855) in the press.—Catalogue of Neuroptera in British Museum. 4 parts, Lond. 1853. (We may here note that the majority of the catalogues now referred to contain descriptions of numerous new species.)—Lepidoptera Heterocera. 2 vols. Lond. This work contains the new species in the collection of the British Museum.—Catalogue of Homoptera in the British Museum. 4 parts, with figures, Lond. 1851.

F. Smith. To this accurate observer we also owe some excellent catalogues of the entomological contents of the British Museum. Of the extensive and difficult family of Bees we have—Part I, The Andrenidæ; Part II, The Apidæ; with descriptions of many new species, and illustrated by outline figures of the genera, with details.—Catalogue of the Hymenopterous Insects of the families Mutillidæ and Pompilidæ, describing many new species in the Museum collection.—Monograph of the British Bees, illustrated with plates. This work also forms a portion of the great series of Museum catalogues now in course of publication by Dr Gray, the keeper of the zoological department. Mr Smith has contributed many papers to the Zoologist, and the Ann. and Mag. of Nat. Hist.

Edward Doubleday. This author, whose decease we have now to mourn, had acquired a remarkable knowledge of insects of the Lepidopterous order. He contributed largely to the Entomological Magazine, and other scientific periodicals, and described the Lepidoptera in the volumes which Stokes and Eyre have respectively devoted to the narrative of their Discoveries in Australia, as well as the insects of the same order in the appendix to Dieffenbach's New Zealand. He formed the published Catalogue of the Lepidopterous Insects in the British Museum. Part I, 1844; Part II, 1847. In union with Mr Hewitson, he was the author of The Genera of Butterflies, or Diurnal Lepidoptera; comprising their generic characters, a notice of their habits and transformations, and a Catalogue of the species of each genus. Illustrated with 86 coloured plates. from drawings by W. C. Hewitson. 2 vols. imperial 4to. Lond. 1846-49. In this admirably illustrated work Mr Westwood was also a collaborator.

Besides being the author of many other descriptive papers in various scientific journals, he has contributed an essay on the Progress and Prospects of Entomology to the 29th No. of the For. Quar. Rev. In conjunction with Mr Swainson, he is the author of a volume on The Natural History and Arrangement of Insects in Dr Lardner's Cyclopedia (Lond. 1840), and to him we also stand indebted for a translation (as above mentioned) from the German of Burmeister's Manual of Entomology. Svo, 1836.

W. O. WESTWOOD, a skilful entomologist and accurate draftsman, whose writings and illustrations are voluminous and of great value. Referring to the 4th vol., p. 549, of the Bibliographia Zoologica, for a list of his separate papers in the Trans. of the Entom. Society, and the Ann. and Mag. of Nat. Hist., we shall here confine ourselves to the indication of his principal works:—Address on the recent progress and Present State of Entomology.

Wilson Saunders and W. C. Hewitson. 4to, Lond. 1851-54. In this work he figures and describes entire groups, especially of the diurnal Lepidoptera of South America. He was conjoined with Mr Doubleday in his beautiful Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera. 2 vols. Lond. 1846-49.

Edward Newman is the author of numerous special papers on entomological subjects. These have appeared chiefly in the 2d series of the Magazine of Nat. Hist., in the Entomological Magazine, the Entomologist, and the Zoologist, of which last two periodicals he was the conductor. His separate works on Insects are Sphinx Vespiiformis, an Essay. 8vo, Lond. 1832.

George Newport. We have not many works of this author published apart, but he has of late years made some valuable additions to our knowledge of the physiology of Insects. These are to be found chiefly in the Proceedings and Transactions of the Royal, Linnaean, and Entomological Societies of London. His separate publications are,—Observations on the Anatomy, Habits, and Economy of Athalia centifolia, the Saw-fly of the Turnip, and on the means of preventing its ravages. 8vo, Lond. 1838.—An Address delivered at the Anniversary Meeting of the Entomological Society. 8vo, Lond. 1844.—An Address delivered at the adjourned Anniversary Meeting of the Entomological Society. 8vo, Lond. 1845.—Mr Newport has, moreover, contributed the article Insecta to Todd's Cyclopaedia of Anatomy and Physiology.
