great amount of species actually described (comprised in upwards 

 of WO genera) has necessarily introduced the general history of 

 the leading groups in British Entomology ; and as all of these 

 occur in other parts of the country, the utility of the work is by 

 no means confined to the district specified, but will extend to 

 any portion of the empire. 



The present volume contains an introduction, in which the 

 principal features of the anatomy, physiology, and general cha- 

 racteristics of the class of insects, are sketched in a brief but lu- 

 minous and pleasing style ; and it is terminated by an adden- 

 dum containing above sixty species of coleoptera discovered in 

 Scotland by the authors or their friends, while the sheets were 

 passing through the press. We observe that they have omitted 

 to mention the occurrence of the rose-beetle, Cetonia aurata, 

 which we know has been found in the shires of Moray and Dum- 

 fries.
