A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF FOSSIL INSECTS. 



mention of them may have been due to information received 

 direct from Aurifaber ; both were disciples of Luther. Later 



editions were published in 1557 and 1572 in 4, and, rendered into 

 ,atin verse by Scholzius, in 1593 and 1671 in 8. 



Aycke, Johann Christian. Fragmente zur na- 

 turgeschichte des bernsteins. 16. Danzig. 1835. 

 pp. 8, 107. 



Contains a section: In bernstein eingeschlossene organische 

 gegenstande, pp. 58-64, where the author states that insects 

 occur most frequently in transparent amber and in such as shows 

 a concentric structure ; oftener also in amber brought up from 

 the sea and only rarely in that dug from the earth. He also 

 criticises various authors and especially Schweigger for confound- 

 ing copal and other gums with amber.

 nor figures seven insects from Le Puy, of which three belong to 

 Coleoptera, three to Diptera and one to Neuroptera.

Two elytra of beetles " of distinct specie?, resembling those 

 of some of the smaller Carabidae," are mentioned, pp. 359-360, 

 as occurring in the leaf-bed, and are figured, pi. 14, figs. 14-15 ; 

 in the explanation of the plate, pp. 361-362, they are compared 

 to Rhynchophora.

Concludes from a study of the embryonic development of 

 Limulus that it presents the greatest analogy to that of scor- 

 pions and other arachnids from which the king crabs cannot 

 be separated. "The Trilobites as well as the Eurypterida and 

 the Poecilopoda must be separated from the class Crustacea, 

 and form, with the Scorpionida and the other Arachnida, a dis- 

 tinct branch, the origin of which has still to be ascertained."
