The results of the author’s collecting in the Caucasus during the 
summer of 1875 have been consigned to various specialists ; and (as 
regards the Insecta) the present volume contains the descriptions of 
Ilymenoptera, by Reinhard, Mayr, and Emery ; the Orthoptera, by 
Brunner von Wattenwyl ; and the Hemiptera, by Geyza von Horvath. 
The Coleoptera, which are by far the most numerous (18,000 specimens of 
1700 species) have been separately treated by the author with Leder, 
Eppelsheim, &c., in Verh. Ver. Briinn, xvi. & xvii.
