Special Faunas have been treated of in the following 

 works : 



Moselfauna, or Handbuch der Zoologie, enthaltend die 

 Aufzahluug und Beschreibung der im Regierungsbezirke 

 Trier beobachteten Thiere, mit Berucksichtigung der An- 

 grenzung des Mosel departements mid Belgiens, von M. 

 Schafer : Trier, 1814. 



This first volume comprises the Vertebrata, of which not merely a simple 

 enumeration of names and habitats, but the characters of the species and 

 remarks concerning their mode of living, have been given ; so that the 

 author is seen to be well informed on his subject. Among the Mammalia 

 deserving notice we must mention the Wolf which is not very rare, and in 

 many severe winters makes its appearance before the gates of Trier. From 

 the years 1816 to 1812 inclusive, there were no less than 1550 Wolves killed 

 in the government district of Trier. The Wild Cat likewise occurs. The 

 Hamster inhabits the country of Achen ; Myoxus nitela and avellanarius are 

 frequent, but the M. glis is, on the contrary, rare. The Wild Boar is com- 

 mon in the large woods ; the Roe is frequent, but the Stag or Red-deer is 

 always rare. The ' Zweiter Jahresbericht-der Pollichia,' Neust. a. d. Hardt. 

 1844, contains a list of the natural objects that occur in the province of 

 Pollichia. The catalogue of the Mammalia and Birds has been prepared by 

 Spannagel ; the occurrence in this of the Wild Cat and Hamster are worthy 

 of note. 



Two Catalogues, one by Lesson, D'une Faune du 

 departement de la Charente-Inferieure/ contained in the 

 Actes de la Societe Linneene de Bordeaux, xii, p. 4, and 

 another, by A. Tremeau de Rochebmne (at p. 211 of the 

 Actes), D'une Partie des Animaux Vivants dans le dep. de 

 la Charente, are worthy of note in respect to the distribu- 

 tion of our European species, Rochebrune having supplied 

 the list of those that occur in the upper quarters of Charente, 

 and Lesson that of those in the lower. 



It is to be observed that where no author is denoted at the end of a name, 

 that both Lesson and Rochebrune have bestowedit in common upon thespecies. 

 Where an L. stands, the species is simply Lesson's ; where an R. is attached, 

 it has been indicated by Rochebrune. Fespertilio noctula, L., serotimis, L.,
