188S.J 7 



logy. Au intended excursion to Carinthia, contemplated for 186G, 

 was necessax'ily deferred on account of the war between Prussia and 

 Austria ; but, in 1867, June and July were spent at Preth and Eaibl 

 in Carinthia, and a few days on the return journey at Bruck on the 

 Muhr, and at Vienna. 



Notices of his observations during this excursion appeared in 

 1868 in the " Stettiner entomologische Zeitung," and in the " Ver- 

 handlungen des zoologisch-botaniscli Vereins in Wien." At the end 

 of April, 1869, Zeller removed to Griiuhof, near Stettin, where he 

 found useful and congenial occupation in the post of Librarian to the 

 Stettin Entomological Society, and here he found himself fully occupied 

 with his extensive scientific correspondence, and in the determination 

 of the 3Iicro-Lepidoptera which were sent to him from various parts. 

 From his retreat at Grriinhof, he three times made prolonged stays at 

 Bergiin in Switzerland, situated at the northern extremity of the Albula 

 Pass in the Grisons ; thus, in 1871, he was at Bergiin from May 31st to 

 the end of July, in 1873, from June 21th to the end of August, two days 

 (July 5th and 6th) having been spent at Weissenstein, and in 1875 he 

 arrived at Bergiin at the end of May, removing to Weissenstein on 

 the 11th July, where he remained to the beginning of August. He had 

 thus collected in abundance the materials for a Lepidopterous Fauna of 

 the Albula district, of which a first instalment appeared in the " Stettin. 

 Entomol. Zeitung" for 1872, followed by a more exhaustive treatment 

 of the subject in the same periodical in 1877 and 1878. 



After 1875, Professor Zeller made no extended journey, but he 

 several times went to Swinemiinde, accom])anied by his daughter, 

 Mrs Janicke, to search on the coast sand-hills there for the very 

 singular Dactylota Kinkerella ; the insect, however, was not to be 

 found by him. 



In his later yeai's, Zeller devoted much of his attention to the 

 critical investigation and description of Micro-Lepidoptera from various 

 parts of the world, and most valuable papers from his pen on " North 

 American 3Iicro-Lepidoptera,^' and on "Exotic Micro-Lepidoptera,'' 

 appeared in the " Verhandlungen des zoologisch-botanisch Vereins in 

 Wien " in 1872 and 1873, and in the " Horas Societatis Entomologicae 

 Rossicae" for 1877 and 1881. 



Zeller, who had been in the enjoyment of his usual health at the 

 commencement of the present year, was actively corresponding and 

 readily answering any queries as to observations he had made fully 

 thirty years ago, and to all appearance there were still years of good 

 scientific work before him.
