XXXli PROCEEDIi^TGS OF THE 



DeYriese, in large octavo, under the title of Annales d'Horticulture 

 et de Botanique, ou Flore des Jardins du Eoyaume des Pays-Bas. 

 It was carried on through five volumes to 1861, and then, I believe, 

 ceased altogether. 



Of a Jaarboek der Koninglijk-Nederlandsche Maatschappij tot 

 Aanmoeding van den Tuinbouw (Annuary of the Eoyal Nether- 

 land Society for the Encouragement of Horticulture) we have re- 

 ceived one part in large octavo, dated Eotterdam, 186 Ji — containing 

 a description and large coloured figure of a new genus of Apo- 

 cynese, and some other botanical papers. Whether the work is to 

 continue or not, or how much of botany it is to contain, I do not 

 knoAV. 



The Annales Musei Botanici Lugduno-Batavi, a collection of 

 papers on Botany, publishing in Numbers in folio, with occa- 

 sional plates, under the superintendence of Miquel, appears at very 

 irregular intervals. There are now ten parts out, forming one 

 volume and a portion of a second, dated from 1863 to 1865. It 

 relates chiefly to the Botany of the Dutch foreign possessions. 



A Zoological Society established at Amsterdam, under the sin- 

 gular title of Natura Artis Magistra, commenced in 1848 publish- 

 ing large quarto Transactions, got up with considerable luxury of 

 typography and illustration, entitled Bijdragen tot de Dierkunde 

 uitgegeven door het Koningiijk Zoologisch Grenootschap Natura 

 Artis Magistra, and consisting of papers chiefly on the higher 

 orders of animals. These Transactions do not appear to have gone 

 beyond a single volume, dated from 1848 to 1854 ; but ten 

 years later the same Society undertook a large octavo periodical, 

 with a few plates, entitled JSTederlandsch Tijdschrift voor de Dier- 

 kunde, under the editorship of Bleeker, Schlegel, and "Westerman. 

 Of this I have only seen a first volume, dated 1863, and divided 

 into contributions from correspondents (or original papers), 

 zoological proceedings of the Academy of Sciences, and reports 

 from the Zoological Grarden. 



An Entomological Society, dating successively from the Hague 

 andLeyden,and now from Haai-lem, has published seven thin octavo 

 volumes from 1858 to 1864, with coloured plates, of a Journal 

 entitled Tijdschrift voor Entomologie, uitgegeven door de Neder- 

 landsche Eutomologische Vereenigung, and devoted exclusively 

 to Entomology. 



All the above Jovirnals, with the exception of the Flore des 

 Jardins, are in the Dutch language, with more or less of Latin 

 for the technical characters.
