Memoire sur des Attalabes par Pierre Huber.

p. 478. — "il y a des choses invariables comme de variables, dans l'instinct de cet attalabe."

p. 499. "Chacune des cinq especes (yet species are near) a un mode particulier de construction, qui differe de ceux des quatre autres selon le but &c &c." — viz. in manner of rolling up leaves.

Tom. 9. Les Plantes Rares de Geneve. Aug et Alph. Decandolle. p. 77. In Dianthus polymorphus the flowers are generally polygamous — the stamens are aborted in the individuals with branching stems & cymes pauciflores — but when flowers are more scattered & almost solitary, the stamens bear anthers & the styles much shorter

p. 78. "one may think that the abortion of stamens is due to the lateral compression of the flowers in the cymes"

Mem. sur quelques insectes du genre Ichneumon, Pierre Huber.

p. 380. There are ichneumons which attack many species of caterpillars indifferently; there are a greater number which have for victims a determinate caterpillar.
