A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF FOSSIL INSECTS.

 water beetles and a Geotrupes. This paper appears to have been 

 read before the Jena meeting of the Deutscher natursforscher 

 und aertzte, in 1836, but I nave been unable to consult the 

 report of that meeting.

 Published in 1866? Under the first section the author notices 

 the extremely small number of known fossil forms as compared 

 with living types, and their almost complete typical agreement 

 with existing forms ; insisting that even the oldest not only 

 fall into the orders, but even into the families of insects now 

 extant.
