In 1806, C. Dunieril published at Paris, his Zoologie 



Analylique ou Methode Naturelle de Classification des 



Animaux, &c. in which we have the Insecta and Arach- 



■ nides classed together, with tabular views of the genera. 



An interesting and highly useful work, entitled, Syno- 

 nymia Insectorum, &c. von C. J. Schbnherr, fcc. Stock- 

 holm, was published, Vol. I. Part I. which contains sy- 

 nonymes of each species of insect, with descriptions of 

 such as are new, with occasional remarks. If continued, 

 it will form in itself a considerable part of an entomolo- 

 gical library. 



P. A. Latreille also this year published the first vo- 

 lume of his Genera Crustaceorum ct Insectorum; but as 

 we shall follow his arrangement with but little altera- 

 tion, in the insect class, we shall not enter into any ac- 

 count of the merits of the work, which we think the 

 best on the subject hitherto published. 



Dr G. W. F. Panzer published a tract, in small octa- 

 vo, on the Hymenoptera, entitled, Entomologischer Ver- 

 such die Jiirineschen Gattungen der Linneschen Hyme- 

 noptern nach dem Fabriciusschcn System zu Pruffen, &c. 

 von Dr G. W. F. Panzer. Nurnberg.

 Octavo. 



In 1807, a beautiful work, entitled, Coloured specimens, 

 to illustrate the Natural History of Butterflies, from the 

 collection of Mr Lee of Hammersmith. This publication 

 is illustrated by twenty copperplates, beautifully colour- 

 ed, and so admirably executed as to resemble highly 

 finished drawings. It is the production of a lady, whose 

 name we are not at liberty to mention, although the work 

 has done her infinite credit. 



Latreille this year published the second and third vo- 

 lumes of his Genera Crustaceorum et Insectorum. 



An interesting work was also produced, entitled, Dis- 

 sertatio Monographia Cantharulum el Malachiorum Sve- 

 cia. Auctor. Carl. Fried. Fallen. Luntlae. 



The first part of the Transactions of the Entomologi- 

 cal Society of London, was published this year, and con- 

 tains notices of a few new British insects, &c. which we 

 shall notice under their proper head hereafter. 



In 1808, Sc! onherr published a second part of his Sy- 

 nonomia Insectorum. 



And a very interesting work on the insects of Sweden, 



entitled Insecta Svecica descrifita a Leonardo Gyllenhal, 

 volume the first, which treats of the coleoptera; a second 

 volume, on the same order, has lately reached this coun- 

 try. The descriptions of the species are far more elabo- 

 rate than any wc have yet seen, except Mr Kirby's./1/o- 

 nog. Ap. Aug.; and if continued, will be the best general 

 work on the Swedish insects that has hitherto appeared. 



The ninth volume of the Transactions of the Linnean 

 Society of London appeared this year, in which we find, 

 " The genus Ajiion of Herbst's Natur. System consider- 

 ed, its characters laid down, and many of the species de- 

 scribed, by the Rev. W. Kirby." — " Some observations 

 on the insect which destroys the wheat, supposed to be 

 the wire- worm, by Thomas Walford, Esq. with additional 

 notes by T. Marsham, Esq."—" Descriptions of Noto- 

 clea,* a new genus of coleopterous insects, from New 

 Holland, by T. Marsham, Esq." 



In 1809, the fourth volume, completing the Genera 

 Crustaceorum et Insectorum of Latreille, was published. 



In 1810, P. A. Latreille published an interesting work, 

 in one volume, in the French language, entitled, Conside- 

 rations sur I'Ordre Naturil des Crustacies, des Arach- 

 nides et des Insecten. 



In 1811, the second part of the tenth volume of the 

 Transactions of the Linnean Society of London was pub- 

 lished, in which wc find, " Description of several new 

 species of Apion, by the Rev. \V. Kirby;" — " Some ac- 

 count of an insect of the genus Buprestis, taken alive out 

 of wood composing a desk which had been made more 

 than twenty years; in a letter to Alex. M'Leay, Esq. by 

 Thos. Marsham, Esq." And among the extracts from 

 the minute book, we find notice of Forficula gigantea di 

 Fabricius having been taken in Britain. 



In 1813, the first part of the eleventh volume of the 

 Transactions of the Linnean Society of London appeared, 

 in which the following entomological papers are given : 

 " An Essay on the British species of the genus Melb'e, 

 with descriptions of two exotic species; by William El- 

 ford Leach, Esq. F. L. S." — " Strepsiptera, a new order 

 of insects proposed, and the characters of the order with 

 those of its genera laid down ; by the Rev. William Kir- 

 by, F. L. S." — " A Monograph of the British species of 

 the genus Cholera; by William Spence, Esq. F. L. S." 



In 1814, commenced a new work, (which has since 

 been continued in monthly numbers), entitled, The Zoo- 

 logical Miscellany, or Descriptions of new, rare, or highly 

 interesting Animals; by William Elford Leach, M. D. &c. 

 Illustrated with Coloured Figures, accurately drawn from 

 Nature; by R. P. Nodder, animal painter. This work 

 contains descriptions and figures of several new and cu- 

 rious insects.
