liv PEOCEEDINGS OF THE 



in vegetable Physiology one by C. E. Grartner, the otlier by 

 E. G-. Omelin. 



The Jahrbiicher des Yereias fiir Naturknnde im Herzogthum 

 Nassau, at "Wiesbaden, ia octavo, commenced in 1844, with a part 

 or volume for every year, and extend in our library to the six- 

 teenth for 1861. They comprise papers on Physics, Mineralogy, 

 Geology, Palte ontology, &c., with several on the fauna and flora 

 of the country, especially entomological, by Schenck and others. 



The Wiirzburger naturwissenschaftliche Zeitschi'ift, herausge- 

 geben von der physikalisch-medicinischen GreseUschaft at WiJRZ- 

 BTJEG, was commenced in 1860, in octavo, with plates, three or 

 four parts formiag each volume, of which the fifth was completed 

 in 1864. It contains, physical, geological, and palseontological 

 papers, and in Zoology and Botany chiefly anatomical (by 

 KoUiker, Glaus, and others) or histological. A few zoological 

 and botanical papers, chiefly physiological, are also contained in 

 the Verhandlungen der physikalisch-medicuiischen Gesellschaft in 

 Wiirzburg, large octavo, ten volumes. 



I have met also with references to Eeports of Proceedings, 

 Journals, or Transactions, published by Natural-History Societies 

 at Altenburg, Akhalt in Dessaf, Augsburg, Bambebg, Blan- 



KENBUEG, CaSSEL, CrEEELD, DoRPAT, ElBEREELD, EmDEN 



( Jahresberichte und kleiae Schriften ; I have only seen the former 

 without the papers), Hakau, Hannover, Heidelberg, Klagen- 

 EURT, and Maja, which are otherwise unknown to me. 



There are also numerous scientific Societies in Germany which, 

 without professing to deal specially with Natural History, occa- 

 sionally include zoological or botanical papers in their Trans- 

 actions, especially medical, agricultural, and horticultural So- 

 cieties. Among the latter the Prussian Society will be alluded to 

 further on, under Horticultural Periodicals. 



2. Journals not connected with Scientific Societies. 



Before the great Prench revolution had overrun Germany, 

 produciag a general disorganization of scientific enterprise, 

 several natural-historical, and especially botanical periodicals, 

 had been attempted, and some of them had obtained circulation 

 even in this country, and are still occasionally quoted, especially 

 for the Eiu-opean flora. The principal ones, more or less known 

 to me, chiefly on the old unsightly German paper, with a few 

 very indifierent plates, are the following : —
