Ixii PROCEEDENGS OE THE 



first ten, 1837 to 1849, publislied at Neuchatel, the eleventh to 

 the eighteenth, 1850 to 1861, at Ztjeich. They contain a great 

 deal of interesting palseontological and geological matter by Heer 

 and others, much of geology, long papers on the Swiss fauna and 

 flora, a few more general entomological and physiological memoirs, 

 one on the Eadiata and Worms of Nice by Ed. Graeffe, two by 

 De CandoUe, on Monstrosities and on Gcertnera, and J. Mueller's 

 monograph of Eesedacese. There are separate pagings for the dif- 

 ferent papers, which are in the French or Grerman language, with 

 more or less of Latin for the technical parts. 



The Memoires de la Societe de Physique et d'Histoire ISTaturelle 

 de GrENEYE, quarto, with very fair plates, commenced rather earlier 

 than those of tbe general Swiss Society, the first volume being 

 dated 1821, and the volumes succeeding each other pretty regu- 

 larly to the twelfth in 1819. Since then there have appeared but 

 five, the last received being the seventeenth, dated 1863, but pub- 

 lished in 1864. Physics, Greology, and vegetable and animal 

 Physiology, including Claparede on the fecundation of Nematodes, 

 occupy a considerable portion. There are also several important 

 monographs and other memoirs in systematic Botany by De Can- 

 doUe and his friends and pupils Duby, Choisy, Moricand, and 

 Coulter, a Flora of Zanthe by Margot and Eeuter, and some 

 papers on Mexican Crustacea, Myriapods, and Insects by 11. de 

 Saussure. 



The well-known Bibliotheque Universelle of Greneva, now in its 

 seventieth year or twenty-fourth volume of the present series, 

 octavo, in its scientific portion, although chiefly physical, contains 

 frequently zoological and botanical reviews and intelligence, and 

 occasionally an original paper, especially in the speculative or 

 theoretical branches of these sciences. 



At La-USAjSTSTE, from a cantonal section of the Societe Helvetique 

 des Sciences Naturelles, gradually arose the Societe Yaudoise des 

 Sciences Naturelles, which, from 1842, has published a regular 

 Bulletin des seances de la Societe, &e. in octavo, with occasional 

 plates. It is now in its eighth volume. The papers are chiefly 

 in Physics, Greology, and Palaeontology ; the few in Zoology and 

 Botany are of little beyond local interest. 



The Yerhandlungen der naturforschenden Gesellschaft in 

 Basel, in octavo, commenced in 1857, and are now in their fourth 

 volume. The few zoological and botanical papers are again of 

 scarcely any but local interest. 



Professor P. Meisner published at Bebne in 1824 two small vo-
