4 posthumous paper, edited hy Taschenherg, extracted from the MS. of a 
work intended to be styled ^ Ortlioptera Saxonite/ the publication of which 
was prevented by the death of the author thirteen years since. Judging from 
the extracts now published, the work was of a most valuable character^ full 
of biological information. Wanckel appears to have anticipated Graber in 
his obervations on polygamy, &c. (vide supra), as evinced by the notes given 
concerning Stethophyrna yrosswt} (p, 2^). The list of Saxon species is brought 
down to date of publication by Taschenherg, 
‘ A list of species taken in the neighbourhood of Tiibingon is given by 
Leydig in AViirtt. JH. X871, p. 259,
