2 FOSSIL BUTTERFLIES. 



1829. MARCEL DE SERRES. Geognosie Acs terrains tertiaires ou Tableau des principaux animaux 

 invertebres des terrains marins tertiaires du midi de la France. 16mo. Montpellier 

 et Paris. 



Contains a "Tableau des Arachnides et des Insectcs fossiles du bassin tertiairc d'Aix (Bouches-du- 

 Rh6ne)," printed in the preceding citation, In which (p. 230; p. 107 of preceding) occurs the genus 

 "Papilio," with the remark: "Nous citons ici, sous la foi d'autrui, un L6pidoptere diurne de la 

 division des Satynts," doubtless referring to Neorinopis sepulta. 



Speaking of the authors who have treated of the fossils of (Eningen, he says : (p. 235) " Ces divers natu- 

 ralistes y ont signalfi des Scarabfies, des Lucanus (p. 236) fort rapproche's du Lucanus cervus, des 

 Papillons," etc. 



In a "Tableau general des Arachnides et des Insectps fossiles" he gives on p. 257, the following: 



Genres qni se trouvent dans les terrains anormanx. 



Tertiaires. 



Seconclaires. 



In the "marnes calcaires" of Alx he has referred already, as we have seen, to one; he previously speaks 

 of Papttlons at (Eningen (see above) and may therefore place two in the second column ; he quotes 

 Sendelius as probably figuring caterpillars in amber as follows (p. 242) : " Des L&pidopteres (M. 

 Brongniart). On a cru reconnaitre des chenilles parmi les insectes du Succm figurfis par Scndelius 

 Tab. 3, fig. 28-82 ; '" and this accounts for one In his third column ; and the following passage from 

 the section on " Insectes fossiles des terrains secondaires inferieurs, ou de transitions " (p. 246) 

 accounts for that in the fifth column : " II se peut que ce soit galement dans des formations de la 

 mSme 6poque qu'exlstent les vestiges d'insectos, d'ailes de Papillons et de Scarabees signalCs par 

 Bromel."

 Gesellsch. Vaterl. Cultur, 1854, 92-93. 



Gives a general enumeration of the collection of fossils from amber In the museum of the Konigsberg 

 Society, specifying a few Lepidoptera. 



1 Probably an error for Tab. 5, flg. 28a, 28b, which seems to represent a Teiithrediniilotis larva.
