At the end of the paper we read : Ne expectet quis, ordinem hanc 

 nullam amplius correctionem esse desideratum. Let no one suppose 

 that this arrangement will require no farther correction. Hiibner did his 

 own printing and this leaf was for his own use and for certain of his 

 learned friends to examine and give him their opinions upon. He gives 

 the following account of the origin of the Tentamen in the Preface to the 

 Verzeichniss bek. Schmett. : " Though many systematic works upon 

 the Lepidoptera have already appeared, yet none exists wherein all 

 the known species are properly classified. This circumstance compelled 

 me, ten years ago, when I began to extend my works from European to 

 exotic species, to sketch for myself a systematic Catalogue of those various 

 species, in order to be able to begin my contemplated Sammlung Exot. 

 Schmetterlinge. This Sketch I immediately printed ander the title Tenta- 

 men, &*c, in order that it might be examined and judged of by competent 

 persons before I adopted it. ' 



In Silbermamrs Revue Ent. 1833/r. 1, p. 101, is given by M. Geyer, 

 who was assistant to Hiibner in his publishing from 18 18 to 1833, and 

 who continued the works of Hiibner after the death of that author, a list 

 of Hiibner" s.^ works, as follows : 



1. Geschickte Europ. Schmetterlinge. 



2. Sammlung Europ, " 



3. Sammlung Exot. "
