Papers read, 8jC. 



Mr. Miiller read the following : — 



" Having lately drawn up, for my own use, a list of the entomological 

 notices contained in the ' Verhandlungen der Schweizerischen Natur- 

 forschenden Gesellschaft,' from 1823 to 1864, as given by its Quaestor, in 

 his history of the said Society,=i= I here communicate this extract for the 

 convenience of entomologists generally. A certain number of these short 

 papers are of more than local interest, .while we look in vain for for their 

 complete enumeration in Percherou's and Hageu's bibliographical works, as 

 well as in the German ' Berichte.' It is very likely tliat other Entomologica 

 may occur in these Annual Proceedings under non-entomological titles. If 

 I should meet with any such matter of value, I shall revert to the subject 

 on a future occasion. As regards the years 1840 to 1845, Prof, von Siebold
