which the Cimex paradoxus is the type. Plate 3. represents the 

 transformations of Papilio Hector from General Hardwicke's draw- 

 ings ; and Plate 4. illustrates two species of a curious new genus 

 of Locusts. 



The plates of this work are drawn by the author himself, who has 

 been so long and well known as a deUneator of insects. The figures 

 are drawn with much spirit ; although, in delicacy of execution, they 

 will not bear comparison with Mr. Curtis's beautiful work. Figures 

 of plants are also added, which give a more graceful appearance to 

 the i^lates. The work has our cordial wishes for its success.

We have much pleasure in drawing the attention of the lovers of 

 Natural History to this Journal, established in 1836 as an early and 

 frequent medium of publication for the researches and observations of 

 the naturalists of Denmark, and a vehicle of information relative to 

 those of other countries. The principal articles in the first volume 

 are the following : —

 a new Crab, Geryon : — Scutum cephuUcum longius quam latius, an- 

 tice arcuatum, ])ostice truncatum, longitudinaliter valde convexum ; 

 frons latior, declivis sed parum arcuata ; margines laterales anteriores 

 nonnihil recurvati, dentibusque prsetUti validis. Regio branchialis ex- 

 pressior apparet, minus vero regio hepatica ; pedunculi oculorum crassi, 

 breves ; margo orbitce inferior a fronte disjuncta, orbitaque igitur a
