pp. 289-294; September 1865. 
In a paper under the above fanciful title, Dohrn refers to the 
numerous disappointments which he, in common with other 
entomologists, has experienced at the hands of travelling friends 
who promised to collect insects in the countries visited by them. 
To make up for the many failures, however, he has received 
from Japan, among other Beetles, a considerable number of 
specimens of a Vamaster, which appears to be distinct from D. 
hlaptoides (KolL).

Coleopteres. Ibid. pp. 253-321 (read April 11, 1864). 
This paper commences an enumeration of the species of Coleo- 
ptera collected during entomological excursions to the alpine 
regions of Savoy, and extends over the families CicindelidcBj 
Carabidce, Dytiscidce, GyrinidcBj PalpicorneSj and Staphylinides. 
The number of species is very considerable, and several of them, 
especially among the Staphylinides ^ are described as new. Most 
of the references are accompanied by notes on the mode of the 
occurrence of the species, and sometimes on their distinctive 
characters.
