268 Drs Hoppe and Hornschuch’s Tour to the Coast of the 
^^Hundsherg, May 16. — Yesterday was dedicated to the drying 
of our plants, and to-day to seeking for plants and insects in 
the Wood of Lippiza. When we last had been there, we laid 
some bits of raw meat on the fallen leaves, in order to attract 
certain carnivorous beetles, but we found to-day only a couple 
of Carahi catenate and a number of common Silphee, particu- 
larly S. lanata. True Neorophori were not found there. As 
we are engaged again with insects, and our presses are filled 
with plants, we devoted this day wholly to entomology, and col- 
lected numerous Carahi^ Curculiones^ and Scarabaij which are 
here very numerous. Besides these, we found Chrysomela trig- 
tis, hemispharica Andersch^ Hottentotta, hicolor^HdcEttingensis, 
globosa, Clythra Imgipes, plentifully on shrubs; Cistela lep~ 
turoides^ Lamia atomaria and tristis, Abax striola^ striolatus 
arid latus^ Helops coeruleus et caraboideSy Calandria ahbreviata^ 
Donacia nigra^ Pedinus helopioides^ Byrrhus Gig as, ornatiis 
and coronatus, Mylabris Spartii, Curculio distinctus, variolo- 
sus, punctato-striatus, ophthalmicus, cribrosus,clypeatus, gemma- 
tus, pineti^ which used only to be found in Sweden* Curculio 
Mergerlei, Asida grisea, marginata, Cimex matirus, Cassida 
Murraa, Tetyra picta, Tenthredo Scrophularia, rustica, sue- 
cincta and togata, Stratyomis Chameleon, with many common 
and still more unknown Curcidios, Chrysomelas, Elaters, Pie- 
zatas and Dipteras, We shall give the information regarding 
the new species in a supplement when we can get at our books, 
and can afford the necessary time to their examination. 
‘‘ Hundsberg, May 18. — Having yesterday taken care of our 
plants and insects, and being desirous of getting something to 
store our presses before we take our journey into Istria, we di- 
vided our forces, the better to explore the country. One of us 
ascended the Karst, and, among other things, brought away 
the delicate Cyiisus argenteus, as also some Genistoe, which are 
now coming into flower. The other, who went in the direction 
of Saule, found all the meadows there overgrown with the most 
noble specimens of Sch(mus nigricans and Scirpus Holoschcenus,, 
and intermingled with these, grew abundantly very luxuriant 
plants of Orchidece, First of these must be named Orchis pa- 
lustris and Ophrys arachnites, A violent thunder-storm drove 
us both home before the intended period of our return.
