It is not, however, in these great states alone that we find this 
fostering care of science, for the national works undertaken by 
the Dutch are not behind the majority of those mentioned above. 
The Fauna Japonica of Siebold, assisted by Temminck, Schlegel 
and De Haan, “ jussu et auspiciis superiorum qui summum in India 
Batava imperium tenent,” would do honour to any country. And we 
have now the commencement of a similar work on the Natural 
History of the Dutch Settlements in India, in large folio; the 
third part of which i3 devoted to a complete illustration of the 
Indian species of the modem genus Papilio, occupying nine plates, 
with descriptions by De Haan. The title of the work is as follows : 
Verliandelingen over de Natmirlijke Gescliiedenis der Nederlandsclie overzeesche bezittingen 
door de laden der Natuurkundige Commissie in Oost-Indie en andere Schrijvens.— 
Leiden, 1840. 
In addition to illustrations of numerous previously-described 
species, of which various beautiful varieties are represented, one 
plate is devoted to an elaborate series of anatomical details of 
the genera composing the modern family Papilionidm, in which 
we find the characters afforded by the variations in the male 
organs of generation, and the veining of the wings, to be extensively 
employed. There is also a considerable number of new species 
figured, one of which is closely allied to the splendid Priamus, 
which it even exceeds in beauty. 
Having illustrated in the present number of this work two new 
additional species of Papilio from the same quarter of the globe, 
I thought it a fit opportunity to notice this new work, which adds 
fresh fame to the name of its talented author, whilst the circum¬ 
stances under which it has appeared naturally led to the foregoing 
remarks.

This work may be considered as a continuation of the Entomo¬ 
logical Magazine. It consists for the most part of a series of papers 
by the editor, in which a great number of new genera and species of 
Longicorn Coleoptera, various American Hispse, and Cryptocephali, 
and a number of Australian Clerida3 and Brachinidse are too concisely 
described. A paper with descriptions of some very interesting
