JSntomographie, 8^c, Entomography of* Russia. By M. G. 

 Fischer, of Waldheim. Vol. III. 4to. 



This work will contain descriptions of all the insects proper to 

 Russia. The first two volumes contain species of different orders or 

 families ; but the author appears to have given up this first plan, 

 and determined to follow a regular order. Thus this third volume 

 begins with the Coleoptera, by the families of the Cicindeletce, and 

 Carabici. Excellent coloured plates, 14 in number, several of which 

 are double, accompany this volume, which is composed merely of the 

 descriptions of species.

Observations Zoologiques, S^c, — Zoological Observations on the 

 Testacea of the Island of Pantaleria. By M. Costa. Pamphlet 

 in 4to. Naples, 1829. 



The shells, the catalogue of which M. Costa here gives, were gathered 

 in the Island of Pantaleria, by his friend M. Gussone. The author 

 proposes to publish, in a short time, a Systematic and Descriptive 

 Catalogue of the Invertebrate Animals of the two Sicilies, so that he 

 does not here give the description of the new species, whose dis- 

 covery he mentions. This catalogue is preceded by interesting 

 observations on the consequences which may be deduced from the 

 predominance of certain species in different localities, from the size 

 which they attain, &c.
