The translation, which is by Dr Hagen, omits only about a 

 page of unimportant matter in the concluding notes. It is em- 

 bodied in an article by Dr. Berendt, entitled Ueber eine von Dr. 

 G. Troost in Baltimore im jahre 1821 im American-journal of 

 science gegebene beschreibung eines bernstein-vorkommens bei 

 Cap Sable in Maryland ; and is preceded and followed by re- 

 marks of Dr. Berendt which, however, do not refer to the insect- 



nests.

Not seen ; an abstract will be found in Neuttjahrb. miner., 

 1840:374-377. 8. Stuttgart. 1840. Insects are mentioned on p.

 tracts from some local paper. Cf. Neues jakrb. mineral.,
