CHIEF ENTOMOLOGICAL AUTHORS. 429 



SAVIGNY (Julius Caesar). A French naturalist, distinguished 

 by his elaborate researches into the comparative structure of the 

 mouths of insects and other annulose animals, and author of Mo- 

 moires sur les Animaux sans Vertebres, and of the plates which 

 illustrate the annulose portion of the magnificent French work 

 upon Egypt, undertaken by order of Napoleon. The labours of 

 this distinguished naturalist have cost him his eye-sight. 



SAINT FARGEAU (M. le Comte Lepelletier de). A French ento- 

 mologist, who has particularly directed his attention to the Hymeno- 

 ptera, and distinguished by his Monographia Tenthredinetarum, by 

 numerous articles in the Encyclopedic methodique, and by his 

 work upon Hymenoptera in general, forming portion of the Suites 

 a Buffon. 



SCHONHERR (C. J.) A Swedish entomologist, distinguished by 

 an elaborate work in course of publication upon the Curculionidae, 

 in 8 vols. 8vo, and which, in fact, forms a continuation of his 

 Synonymia Insectorum, a work in 4 volumes, 8vo, confined to the 

 Synonymy of the Coleoptera. 



STEPHENS (James Francis). An English entomologist, author 

 of a most laborious Systematic and Synonymical Catalogue of 

 English Insects of all orders, and of Illustrations of British Ento- 

 mology, consisting of descriptions thereof, the latter being still in 

 progress of publication. 



SWAMMERDAM (John). One of the fathers of Entomology, 

 chiefly distinguished by his Biblia Naturae, a work in 2 volumes, 

 folio, with 54 plates, in which the transformations and internal 

 anatomy of many insects were completely exhibited. 



This extraordinary work, in conjunction with that of Redi, com- 

 pletely established the real nature of insect metamorphoses. It 

 has been translated into English by John Hill, whose edition ap- 

 peared in 1758. 



WIEDEMANN (G. R. W.) Professor of Natural History at Kiel, 

 and successor of Fabricius, whose attention has been chiefly con- 

 fined to exotic Diptera. His chief work, Ausser Europaische 

 Zweifl. Insekten, is in 2 vols. 8vo, and was published in 1828.
