This papei% which is an amplification of that by L. Dufour and 
Perris, relates chiefly to the Hymenopterous Insects which select 
dry bramble-sticks as their dwelling-place, and to the parasites 
belonging to the same order which live at tlie expense of the 
former. Two or three species of Coleoptera [Zonites mutica, 
Malachius hipustuJatus j Dasytes flavipes and D, coiriileus) are 
also referred to.

From this report it appears that Konigsberg possesses an 
enormously ricli collection of Insects and other objects pre- 
served in amber ; the total number appears to be about 9800, of 
which about 8300 arc insect-remains. The autlior gives a list 
of tlie families of Coleoptera represented in the collection, with 
the number of sjiecies belonging to each.
