Forthcoming Transactions q/' Foreign Societies. 



The Helvetic Natural History Society, at their meeting in 

 August last, decreed that their Memoirs should be printed. 

 The first volume is at present in the press ; and, besides many 

 interesting memoirs, contains an important paper by De Lusser 

 of Altdorf, on the Suite of Formations extending from St Go- 

 thard to the MoUasse. 



A second volume of the Nera Alpina, an interesting Swiss 

 work, has just appeared : it contains many zoological and two 

 mineralogical papers. 



De Caumont, Secretary to the Linnean Society of Calvados, 

 announces a third volume of the Memoirs of the Linnean So- 

 ciety of Calvados, with Geological Maps of that country, and 

 Memoirs of Desnoyers, Marcel de Serres, and Prevost. He has 

 taken charge of printing the Memoirs, and as he is rich and ac- 

 tive, he cannot fail to be useful to the sciences. 



Ferussac intends still farther to enlarge the plan of his excel- 

 lent Bulletin, so that it may flourish after his death. The acti- 

 vity of this man is truly wonderful, when we recollect that he was 

 shot through the chest during the Spanish war, and is labour- 

 ing under the effects of that nearly fatal accident.
