 Erster Band. Mit seeks und dreissig fein ausgemalten. 

 Tafeln N'drnberg, 1831. — The first number of each of these 

 works was published in 1831 ; of the second, we have just 

 received a second number, and we understand they are to be 

 continued. Each has six plates, with coloured figures. The 

 first illustrates some of the genera and species of Arachnida ; 

 a few sketches of the positions of their eyes are also given. 

 The second is very similar to a work published, by the same 

 author, several years before, and contains figures of the genera 

 and species of Hemiptera, with sketches of their heads, 

 trophi, antennae, and nervures of the wings, magnified. The 

 figures, in all the three numbers, are accurately, though in 

 some instances, rather coarsely executed.

 Orismology ; the second chapter is devoted to general, and the 

 the third to partial Orismology. Observations on the organs 

 of growth, and on the animal organs, occupy the second 

 section. The third, containing above three hundred pages, is 

 divided into three parts, the first describing the physiology of 

 the body, which he calls " Somatische Phi/siologie " the

 and the third, the geography, &c. of insects. The fourth
