A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF FOSSIL INSECTS. 



Heer, O. Ueber fossile ameisen. MittheiL 

 naturf. gesellsch. Zurich, I, ii : 167-174. 8. Zurich. 

 1848. 



The fossil ants of Oeningen and Radoboj are winged and 

 either <S or 9 , neuters being rarely preserved ; three fourths are 

 females. The individuals are very abundant and are preserved 

 in large assemblages, and many species in close contiguity ; 

 most of them are Formicidae, and they form the best data for 

 comparison of the Oeningen and Radoboj faunas.

 comments of Haidinger.

 species equal in number to the living.

A popular address, presenting a sketch of the sequence of 

 insect life and the development of special groups, with general 

 considerations based on a broad survey of the subject ; by far 

 the best account of the knowledge of that time. An abstract is 

 given in Haidinger's Berichte, 6 : 135-136. 8. Wien. 1849.

Heer's portion, pp. 1-15, pi. i, is largely devoted to insects, 

 the greater part of which are wood-boring coleoptera, and indi- 

 cate a warm tropical climate. Twenty-two species are described 

 and figured, of which nineteen are beetles.

General account of the relations of the Rhynchota of Oeningen, 

 Radoboj, and Aix to existing faunas, followed by a list of the 

 species described in the third part of his Tertiary insects. They 

 agree better with the insects of the Southern zone than with 

 those of Switzerland, and the Capsini and Riparii characteristic 

 of temperate regions are wholly absent.

Bd. i refers to Oeningen insects on pp. 10-11. The latter half of 

 bd. 3 was republished in 1860 under the title: Untersuchungen 

 iiber das klima u. s. w. (q. v.). See also the next entry, and Die

A translation of the preliminary matter in the first volume of 

 the preceding ; running references to the insects of the period 

 occur here and there, especially on pp. 310, 311.

 scribing sixty species of all orders, preceded by remarks on the 

 general characteristics of the fauna, which is considered to have 

 marked Mediterranean features-

In a note, p 322, mentions the occurrence of species of Dona-

 Amtl. ber. vers. deutsch. naturf., 32 : 118-126. 4. 

 Wien. 1858. 



A review of the subject based on the insects described in his 

 general work. The author finds a commingling of European 

 and Indian forms ; perfect dragon-flies but no larvae, showing 

 the deposit to be marine ; the occurrence of plants in the same 

 beds, with which the insects have special relations ; a closer con- 

 nection of Radoboj with Aix than with Oeningen.

 preceded by general remarks on Fossil and recent Carabidae.
