 invertubres des terrains marins tertiaires du midi de la France. IGmo. Montpellicr 

 et Paris. 



Contains a "Tableau des Arachnides et des Insectes fossiles du bassin tertiairc d'Aix (Bouches-du- 

 Rhoue)," printed in the preceding citation, in which (p. 230; p. 107 of preceding) occurs the genus 

 "Papilio," -with the remark: "Nous citous ici, sous la foi d'autrui, uu LepidopU-re cliurnc de la 

 division des Satyrus," doubtless referring to Neorinopis sepulta. 



Speaking of the authors who have treated of the fossils of CEningen, he says : (p. 233) " Ces divers natu- 

 ralistes y out signals des Scarabues, des Lucauus (p. 236) fort rapproches du Lucanus cervus, des 

 Papillons," etc. 



In a "Tableau general des Arachnides et des Insectes fossiles" he gives on p. 257, the following: 



In the " marnes calcaires" of Aix he has referred already, as we have seen, to one; he previously speaks 

 of Papillons at CEningen (see above) and may therefore place two in the second column; he quotes 

 Sendelius as probably figuring caterpillars in amber as follows (p. 242) : " Des Lepidopteres (M. 

 Brongniart). On a cru reconnaitre des chenilles parmi les insectes du Succin figure's par Seudelius 

 Tab. 3, fig. 28-82;'" and this accounts for one in his third column; and the following passage from 

 the section on "Insectes fossiles des terrains secondaires inft-rieiirs, ou de transitions" (p. 24fi) 

 accounts for that in the fifth column : " II se pent que ce soit egalement dans des formations de la 

 memc epoque qu'exlstent les vestiges d'insectes, d'alles de Papillons et dc Scarabucs signales par 

 Bromel."

Gives a general enumeration of the collection of fossils from amber in the museum of the Konigsberg 

 Society, specifying a few Lepldoptera. 



1 Probably an error for Tab. 5, fig. 23a, 28b, which seems to represent a Tenthreiliniilous larva.
