180 Miscellaneous. 



The pp. 81-160 and 161-240 are pure speculation, but will be 

 used in Sherborn's ' Index Animalium ' until better information is 

 forthcoming, as " me judice." We have not much doubt as to the 

 accuracy of the other dates. 



It is a remarkable thing that the " Verz." was apparently un- 

 known to contemporary authors. The long critical review of 

 Ochsenheimer's work by Zincken in the Allgem. Liter. Zeitung, 

 1817, makes no mention of the "Verz.," although it discusses the 

 order of the genera and mentions Huebner many times. Nor is 

 there any mention of Huebner's works in the Allgem. Liter. Zeitung 

 from 1816-1830, though its comprehensive nature is shown by 

 reviews of the other two authors named Huebner, writing at the 

 same time. It is true that his works were probably published by 

 subscription, but even so one would have expected a review if only 

 for advertisement. Treitschke's first reference to the '■ Verz." 

 occurs in his vol. vi. (2) 1828, p. 72, but this proves nothing, as he 

 may not have approved of Huebner's weird style. Geyer's state- 

 ment in Huebner, Zutraege z. exot. Schraett. iv. 1832, p. o, that 

 the " Verz." appeared in 1806, may be dismissed as an error for 

 the " Tentamen " (Durrant in lit.).

This very rare tract consists of 40 pp.*, and was never completed. 

 The British Museum (Nat. Hist.) coi)y was Zeller's, was purchased 

 by Prof. Aurivillius from Friedlaendcr, and generously ceded by 

 him to the Museum at the request of Mr. L. B. Prout. It contains 

 a note on the " Tentamen " (p. 9), which seems to show that it 

 was a separately issued sheet of tentative classification, and a note 

 on the " Verz." saying that it appeared very slowly, was one of his 

 most troublesome written works, but would be completed in 1825 

 (p. 14).

Huebner worked on his friend's collection from Sept. to Dee. 

 1825 (Geyer in Thou, Archiv, i. (1) 1827, p. 29). The chief value 

 of this publication is that on p. 100 Huebner states that "IS 

 Bogen," I. e. 288 pp., of the " Verz." were theii on sale («". e. in 

 1825, when he was writing).
