species, and species new to Sweden, are added to those previously 

 described. Additional observations are also occasionally given as 

 to the times of appearance, localities, discriminating characters, 

 &c. It concludes with a full Index to the whole work. 



The extreme accuracy and precision of detail which charac- 

 terize the former volumes are here fully sustained. Minuteness of 

 investigation is carried to its greatest extent. Even varieties are 

 scrupulously examined and collated. Of Coccinella ^-punctattty 

 for instance, no less than 22, and of Cocc* variabilis^ 30, varieties 

 are severally noticed. 



Catalog meiner Insecteri'Sammlung, von Jacob Sturm. Erster 

 Theil, Kdfer. Nicrnberg, IS'IG, Svo.pp. W7. pi. iv. 



This Catalogue of the collection of ColeopterUy in the posses- 

 sion of the respected entomologist Sturm, is a manifest improve- 

 ment upon that of the Count Dejean. It not only exceeds the 

 latter in the numerical amount of species contained in it, 7193, 

 but also gives an arranged list, accompanied with observations, 

 of the 531 genera into which they are divided, and furnishes de- 

 tailed descriptions and figures of forty new Insects. By the title 

 it is evidently the intention of the authour to continue his Cata- 

 logue throughout the other Orders, and thus to form a work of 

 real and increased utility, and one which is at present a great de- 

 sideratum in Entomology.
