Physics, Greology, Palaeontology, Zoology, and Bofcauy, of very 

 little or no importance ; and the publication appears to have ceased 

 with the troubles of 1S48. 



At EitAKKFOBT is also published, under the title of Der zo- 

 ologische Garten, an octavo monthly journal, forming annual 

 volumes, without plates. This was at first the organ of the 

 Zoological Society of Prankfort, and was edited for four years by 

 "Weinland, and devoted almost exclusively to the breeding and 

 education of animals in zoological gardens. The fifth volume, for 

 1864, edited by Bruch, continues nearly on the same plan, but 

 with the addition of a variety of short communications in general 

 and systematic Zoology. 



The Natural-History Society of Peeibueg im Breis&atj, esta- 

 blished in 1821 and reorganized in 1846, published three thin 

 volumes, 1849 to 1853, octavo, without plates, of Beitriige zur 

 rheinischen Naturgeschichte herausgegeben von der Gesellschaft 

 fiir Befdrderung der Naturwissenschaften zu Freiburg imBreisgau, 

 relating, as its title imports, exclusively to the Natural History of 

 the country, chiefly Entomology and Botany, but including Geo- 

 logy and Meteorology. In 1853 they extended their spbere of 

 action to general Natural History, and commenced the publica- 

 tion of Berichte iiber die Verhandlungen der naturforschenden 

 Gesellschaft zu Freiburg im Breisgau, in octavo, but with improved 

 typography and accompanied by a few plabes. Eight parts, form- 

 ing two volumes, and two parts of a third volume have appeared 

 up to 1864. Besides the fauna and flora of the country, they 

 contain much in Physics and Geology, several papers by Maier 

 in human Physiology and Anatomj'-, and by De Bary in vegetable 

 Physiology. 



The Jahresberichte der Gesellschaft von Freunden der Natur- 

 wissenschaften in Gera nebst Nachrichten iiber den naturwissen- 

 schaftlichen Yerein in Schleiz, in very thin annual parts, of 

 which the sixth is for 1863, contain papers on the local fauna and 

 flora. 



At GiESSEiT in Upper Hesse a Natural-History Society was 

 established in 1846, which has published at intervals of about two 

 years octavo volumes of reports, entitled Berichte der oberhes- 

 sischen Gesellschaft fiir Natur- und Heilkunde, in which Zoology 

 and Botany appear to be confined to the local flora and fauna. 



The Abhandlungen der naturforschende Gesellschaft in Goe- 

 LiTZ, of which six volumes appeared in small octavo from 1827 to 

 1851, admitted a great variety of subjects, including Antiquities
