BIBLIOGEAPHY. 



1726. HUEBEK. Lithographiae Wirceburgensis specimen primum. Fol. Wirceburg. This work con- 

 tains the first reference to fossil Lepidoptera which I have found. In his Synopsis 

 Tabellarum, he gives on page 94 : 



"Tabula XV. Similium insectorum alatorum Papilionum videlicet diversas species;" but the plates are 

 too rude to be of the slightest value or even to indicate the suborder to which the insects may 

 belong. 



1729. BROMELL. Lithographia Suecana. Acta Litteraria Suecise, II. In a section de lapidibus insec- 

 tiferis Seanicis et Oothicis (p. 525) he says : 



"Praeter umbratiles etenim papilionum vel muscarum quasdam imagines, lapidi huic leviter sed distincte 

 irapressas, multa scarabseorum flguras, mole totaque facie imitantur;" these were found in "saxo 

 footido" in " Westrogothia. " 



In his enumeration of fossils he specifies further: 



[528]. "9. Papilionum majorum ac minorum imagines et impressiones nitidse, in lapide calcario com- 

 muni inodoro, ubi etiam in alio footido conspicuse, ex eisdem Westrogothise locis." 



[629]. "10. Insectorum ovula, an nymphse seu aurelise lapidese? saxo foatido nigricanti immersae. Ex 

 eadem parseciakarabylonga." 



[531]. " 14. Papilionum minorum imagines et impressiones, in ejusdem generis saxo suillo foetido. Ex 

 eodem loco. Hae itidem flgura sua a papilionibus illis differre baud videntur, quarum superius Num. 

 9. meminimus." 



I find no later reference to these supposed Lepidoptera. 



1742. SENDELIUS. Historia succinorum. Fol. Lipsiae. 



Devotes a chapter (De-Erucis, pp. 169-171) to supposed remains of caterpillars and chrysalides in amber. 

 Several forms are figured (pi. 5, figs. 25-28 ; pi. 6, figs. 1-4), of which it is not impossible that pi. 6, fig. 

 1, may represent a Papilionid larva; and pi. 6, flg. 4, the chrysalis of a Nymphalid; but the illustra- 

 tions are wholly insufficient to assert anything of them with confidence.
