G. W. F. Panzer, in 1793, published his " Bey trap zur Geschichte der Insecten. Erlang. ;" and, in the same year, commenced the "Fauna Insectorum Germanise Initia, oder Deutchland Insecten." One hundred and nine numbers, each containing twenty four plates, were published before the death of the author. In the following year, 1794, he published his " Entomologist Germaruca. Pars I. Nuremberg." 8vo. Also " Fanunse Insectorum Americte Boris Prodromus ;" and edited "J. E. Voet !cones Insec torum Coleoptratorum, &c. illustmvit G. W. F. Pan zer. Erlangte." 4to.
" Neuestes Magazine far die Libhaber des Ento mologie herausgegeben, von D. H. Schneider. Stral sund." 8vo.
A second volume of the Transactions, of the Lin. neon Society appeared this year ; in which are the following Entomological papers : 1. " The History and Descriptions of four species of Phalcena, by Mr J. Beckwith." Y. " A new arrangement of the genus Papilio of Linnaeus, by W. Jones." In this paper a new division, the itomani, is added, and the charac. tem of the Linnean divisions are very much amended.
In the Journal de Rozier (which here, for the first time, appears under the care of J. C. Lamitherie), for this year, we find a paper by Monsieur Luce, entitled, " Description d'un Insecte Phosphorique." In 1795 was published in Halle, in 8vo, " Ent°. mologisches Bilderbuch junge Insectensamler, von J. H. A. Dunker." " D. H. Hoppe Enumeratio Insectorum circa Er-. huigani indigenorum, &c. ; Observationibus Iconibus que illustrate, Erlangse ' 8vo.
" The Papilios of Great Britain, by W. Lewin. London." 4to. In this work the Butterflies of Eng land, sixty in number, and all that were at that time discovered in England, are elegantly figured.
The " Gesellschaft Naturforschender Freunde zu Berlin," for this year, contains a paper entitled " Bescreibung einiger. ostindischen Insectin, von Missionarius John in Tankebar." P. A. Latreille, in 1796, produced his " Precis du cameteres des Genres," a work which commences a new era in the science of Entomology, and in which, for the first time, the distribution of Insects, Crustacea, &o. into families, is indicated. The ge
nera are characterized by the modification of the or gans of mastication. Throughout this volume we find the same acuteness of observation, that charac terizes all the works of this, the first of Entomolo gists.
Mr John Francillon also published this year, " De scription of a rare Scarabteus from Potosi." The subject of this paper has been named S. Macropus, by Shaw. It forms the type of a new genus, the characters of which will be soon given to the world, by W. Macleay, Esq. a most accurate and learned entomologist, who is now occupied with examin ing the old genus Scaraba3us of Linnaeus, of which his father's cabinet contains about 2000 species, which he intends to arrange into natural families and genera.
The second volume of " Catalogus Bibliothecte Historica Naturalis, Josephi Banks, Baroneti," by T. Dryander, comprehending the entomological works of that immense collection, appeared this year. The contents of this work are so admirably arranged, as to form a valuable bibliographical sys tem of Entomological writers, down to the day of its publication.
" Monographia Bornbyliorum Bohemise, Iconibus Illustrate, auctore J. C. Mikau, M. D. In 1797 appeared, " Natursystem der Ungeffu gelten Insecten, von J. F. W. Herbst. Erster Heft. Berlin." 4to. This volume contains the Solpuger, Phrynni, Thelephroni, and Opiliones, which are il lustrated by coloured figures.

" The Natural History of the rarer Lepidopterous Insects Of Georgia, collected from the Observations of M. J. Abbot, by J. E. Smith, M. D." This work is comprised in two volumes, with about an hundred plates, copied from the original designs made from nature by Mr Abbot, to whom the London collectors of insect; are indebted for the greater portion of the Georgian insects contained in their cabinets. Eighteen volumes of insects, their lame, &c. and spiders, drawn by Mr Abbot, are now deposited in the Bri tish Museum, for the use of those engaged in the study of Entomology.
