German, Dutch, Hungarian, Slavonic, Latin, Italian, and Malay. He was very 

 much liked by all who knew him for his amiable temper, and his early death from 

 consumption excited universal regrets among the European population of Amboina. 



The three works, mentioned in Hagen's Bibliotheca Entomologica, are the only 

 ones that he published about Entomology sensu stricto. 



His other publications refer to different branches of Zoology, principally Arach- 

 nida, and will be found enumerated in Carus's Bibliotheca Zoologica, vol. ii, p. 

 1896 — 97. The following paper is not mentioned in Carus : Tweede Bijdrage tot 

 de Kennis der Arachniden van den Indischen Arehipel, with 17 plates (Acta Societ. 

 Sc. Indo-Neerl.j v ; 4to, pp. 60, with 17 plates ; Conf. Gerstaecker, Bericht, etc., 

 1862, p. 236). 



Besides the above, I have seen a botanical paper : Korte Karakterschets der 

 Flora van Amboina (Natuurk. Tijdschr. v. Nederl. Ind. Batavia). 



Of the three " Bijdrage " on Diptera, the third is without plates. At the sale 

 of Mr. Snellen v. Vollenhoven's library at the Hague, in October, 1880, a volume of 

 the Bijdrage was sold, in which to the third part were added original, unpublished,' 

 coloured drawings by Doleschall. The volume was bought by Mr. Puis in Ghent. 

 I possess a copy of these figures (41 in all), beautifully executed for me at the 

 Hague, with the owner's kind permission. 



Doleschall did not leave any Entomological collections of importance. I 

 have been told that the little there was has been sent to his only Entomological 

 correspondent, Dr. Felder, in Vienna. At any rate, the only Diptera of Dolesehall's 

 collecting, that I know of, are now in the Imperial Entomological Museum in Vienna. 



I deem it a pleasant duty to express to Dr. Mohnike of Bonn, my sincere grati- 

 tude for the pains he has taken in satisfying my enquiries on the subject of this 

 paper. — C. E. Osten-Sackbn, Heidelberg : July, 1881. 



Entomological Society of London : Sept. 7th, 1881.— H. T. Stainton, Esq., 

 F.R.S., &c, President, in the Chair. 



The President read a letter from the Colonial Office thanking the Society for 

 the Report it had transmitted on the parasite of the locust in the Troad. 



The Bev. A. E. Eaton exhibited a nymph of Euthyplocia, and read some notes 

 respecting it. 



Mr. E. A. Pitch exhibited a large mass of small Chalcids belonging to the 

 family Encyrtidee, of which hundreds (if not thousands) had emerged from a single 

 larva of Zeuzera cesculi. He also exhibited pupa; and perfect insects of Drosophila 

 cellaris, the larvae of which had been found feeding in the pickled cauliflowers in a 

 bottle of picalilli pickles. In another bottle of pickles the same larva? had been 

 found feeding in a great variety of pickled substances. He also exhibited galls 

 of a new species of Cecidomyiidce on the flowers of Galium mollugo, from Dorking ; 

 galls of Cecidomyia foliorum on leaves of Artemisia vulgaris ; and galls of an 

 unknown species found on Thalictrum fl-exuosum by Dr. Power in Scotland. 



Mr. Fitch also exhibited an abnormal pupa-skin of Bombyx mori, from Mr. Kay 

 Robinson, from the anterior end of which were protruding what appeared to be the 

 posterior segments of two moths ; indeed, it was said that the female had actually 

 deposited several eggs. He also exhibited living larva; of a species of Dolerus from 

 Equisetum stems.
