der Schweiz. 4o. Winterthur. 1860. t. p., pp. 170, pl. (clvi), karte.

Contains a couple of paragraphs, pp. 134-135 (334-335 of original) upon the tertiary insects and the testimony they bear to the tropical and American nature of the time in which they lived. Another paragraph on pp. 60-61 (260-261) shows how the condition of preservation of insects indicates the season of their entombment.

The paragraphs on pp. 134-135 of the original are very much expanded on pp. 196-205 of this translation, and include full tables of the families of insects and their numerical representation in the different European deposits of tertiary time. Besides this, M. Gaston de Saporta in his Examen des flores tertiaires de Provence, pp. 133-171, gives a paragraph, pp. 152-153, concerning the insects of Aix. The remaining paragraph referred to above appears unchanged on p. 61.

1862.

Describes and figures 110 species, nearly all of them new. In an introduction of five pages, some general results of the study of Oeningen Coleoptera are tabulated, the most interesting of which appear to be that the fauna is more European in character than the flora and less rich in American forms; and that many species are related to those which now enjoy a wide distribution.

Under the head of diluvial deposits, he refers, p. 501, to a bed of peat in the parish of Kirk Balaff, "containing a vast number of the exuviae of beetles, bees and their nests, crushed together with seed vessels, rotten, but having their external coating well preserved. In general the hard wings are the only parts of the beetles which are preserved, and these are in appearance as fresh as on a living insect. Dr. Leach was enabled to identify a few with species at present existing in England."

An important discussion of the problems suggested by a study of the Diptera of the Prussian amber, of which at this time 850 species were known to the author, and of which over 650, belonging to 101 genera, had been satisfactorily determined. These insects belong to a single district fauna, and represent only a fragment of that, viz.: those low flying Diptera which love moist places sheltered from the wind. The generic types which existed in the amber period have probably been preserved down to our time. Of all living types North American Diptera, especially those found from lat. 32° to 40° most nearly resemble the amber fauna; next to these, those of Europe.
