[To the Editor of the Zoological Journal.] 



Sir, 



Although I cannot but consider myself already much 

 indebted to your liberality, for the insertion in your valuable 

 Journal of my Paper on the genus Staphylinus of Linnasus, (in 

 a more especial degree on account of its being the earliest of my 

 entomological labours), I feel happy in again relying upon a
