492 Miscellaneous. 
Atoren, Il, 1s, 
4th paper appeared Ann. Chem. xxiv. (1848), xxv. (1849). Also 
issued separately in 1848. 
5th (pars) as Ann. Sci. Nat. (Bot.) xi. (1849). 
A separate copy of the last paper in this part was laid before the 
Academy in Jan, 1850 (C. R. tom. xxx. p. 55). It may, we think, 
be fairly inferred that the completed part appeared soon after, and 
we take 1850 for the date of this part. 
Zootocig. [Consisting of plates of Fishes, Birds, Crustacea, 
Annelids, Medusz, and Protozoa, all without text. Some of the 
Fishes and Crustacea were described by H. Kroyer in his Nat. 
Tijdskrift, [2] vols. i. & ii. (1844-49).] 
The first livraison of the whole work was issued in 1842 (Bull. 
Soc. géogr. Frang. [2] xviii. p. 446). J. [L. M.] Vahl, whose name 
appears on the titlepage of the ‘‘ Géogr. phys.,” did not contribute to 
the literature of this Voyage, but did to the ‘Voyage en Islande,’ 
which was going through the press at the same time, 
‘Voyage autour du Monde sur .... la Venus, pendant . 
1836=39 .... Par A. Du Petrr-Taovuars, &e2 
Zootogizn. Pp. 355. 
Mammiféres. By Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire (and J. 
Pucheran). 1852. OC. Rendus, Feb. 1852, p. 258. 
Oiseaux. By Prevost and Des Murs. 1849. Wiegm. Arch. 
1850, p. 46. 
Reptiles. By Duméril. No text up to 1847. Wiegm. Arch. 
1848, p. 196. 
Ichthyologie. By Valenciennes. No text upto 1847. Wiegm. 
Arch. 1848, p. 203. 
‘“ Mollusea.” See Wiegm. Arch. 1848, p. 215, which notices 
the plates. Carpenter, writing in the Rep. Brit. Assoc. 
for 1856, p. 203, says “* plates only have been seen.’ 
The text of Mamm., Oiseaux, Reptiles, and Poissons was issued 
in one volume, being v. vt. 1, 21 July, 1855 (Bibl. Frane.); but that 
the dates given above for the Mammals and Birds are correct is in- 
directly shown by the settings of the text to the former, the spacing 
being unequal (¢. g. p. 46) and some blank spaces and pages being 
left in order to fill up the number of pages that had heen allotted 
when that to the birds was printed off. We think the remaining 
text is not earlier than 1855, since Valenciennes’s new genus Smec- 
ticus is not quoted in Duméril’s “ Ichthyologique analytique” (Mém. 
Acad. Sci. Paris, tom. xxvii. 1856), which was written in 1855. 
N.B.—All species are named in the ‘Table des Planches,’ which 
was published in 1846. 
Boraniqur [=vol. v. pt. 2}. Par J. Decaisne. Not published 
by July 1855 (see Bibl. Frang. 21 vii. 1855). All the plates of 
ee, were out by 1855, and possibly 1846; the text was issued 
3 Sept. 1864 (Bibl. Franc.).
