inserted on the front ; — 1. Cicindelini. ii. Antennae inserted in the cheeks 

 behind the mandibulae. a. Antennae without a bed to receive them, their base 

 uncovered; — 2. Carabini (including the elaphrini, also the genera Loricera 

 and Migadops.) b. Antennae with a bed to receive them, usually geniculate. 

 * Antennae with the base uncovered : Tibiae unarmed : (Mentum connate : Epi- 

 mera of the mesothorax connate ;)— 3. Siagonini. ** Antennae with the base 

 covered by a projection of the front: Fore tibiae palmated; — 4. Scaritini. B. 

 Metathoracic epimera furnished with an appendage externally, a. Antennae 

 with the base covered by a projection of the front, and with a bed to receive 

 them : Fore tibiae entire ; — 5. Hiletini. b. Antennae uncovered at the base, 

 without a bed to receive them: Fore tibiae notched; — 6. OZiENiNi. (Type Ozcena, 

 Mystropomus, Mormolyce.) II. Mesothoracic epimera not extending down 

 to the coxae ;— The remaining groups of the Carabidae, of which the arrangement 

 is reserved for the subject of another communication. (Same) Remarks on 

 Micralymma, in reply to Erich son's critique of his essay characterizing a second 

 species of that genus — p. 364-366. (Same) Criticism of Lacordaire's Genera 

 of Coleoptera — p. 366-369. (Same) Remarks on the use which Erichson has 

 made of the segmentation of the abdomen, as a systematic character in the 

 Coleoptera — p. 369-375. In these Schioadte reclaims the priority of various 

 discoveries and observations, which have been adopted, without acknowledg- 

 ment, by other authors, and seeks to clear them from a variety of 

 additions and misapprehensions with which they have been encumbered 

 by less skilful hands. In many points we cannot deny that he has had 

 good grounds to stand upon ; but we think his own scientific reputation 

 is so well established (if all his merits are not yet so generally known as they 

 deserve to be), that such quick susceptibility in the vindication of his originality 

 was not needed to guard the right. As a general rule, also, we are disposed to 

 think a rather less pungent style would befit such scientific discussions better, 

 especially where the pleader has any personal interest in the argument. (Ki osyer) 

 On the genus Sergestes — p. 22-34. Of this oceanic genus of Crustacea, in- 

 stituted by Milne-Edwards for a single species, a second was received at the 

 Royal Museum from Greenland, in 1845. Recently nine species more have been 

 procured by a sailor employed by Mr. Fries, in the course of a voyage to the 

 Brazils. Furnished with these materials, Kroeyer has here given some additions 

 to the characteristic of the genus, and has described all the eleven species, S. 

 arcticus (from Greenland), tenuiremis, ancylops, oculatus, rinkii, frisii, edwardsii 

 (atlanticus M.-Edw.) obesus, armatus, cornutus, corniculum. As eight out of 

 the ten new species were found in one spot, about 42° N. Lat, and 21° W. Long. ; 

 Kroeyer supposes that may be nearly the metropolis of the genus. (Same) On 

 the parasite Crustacea, Pachybdella, Peltogaster, and a n. g. Sylon — p. 127-131. 

 (S^hioedte) On Niphargus aquilex, the second species of this genus, found in 

 England— p. 349-351. A species of this blind genus (first found in the Caryn- 

 thian grottos) was obtained in considerable numbers from a well at Maidenhead, 

 in 1853. At the time it was announced in several English scientific journals as 

 identical with the Carynthian species. Schicedte being in London soon after, 

 compared it, and he was able to recognize it at once as distinct from N. stygius, 

 although the definite characters which are here given for each of the species are 

 few, and not very striking. See the figures given in Plate II. of this Volume, and 

 the accompanying explanation. (Eschricht, Hanover, Steenstrup) Report on 

 the competition for the prize founded by Classen — p. 412-420. The subject 

 was the development of the Cysticercus of the sheep, C. tenuicollis. The prize 

 was awarded to H. Chr. Mceller, an extra prize to Fr. Kuechenmeister. A brief 

 abstract is given of the contents of the two successful essays. (Forchhammer) 

 On the metals found in the calcareous secretions of Marine Animals and Plants — 

 p. 389-401. Of twenty-five Elementary substances found in sea water, and se- 

 lected not with reference to their universal presence or importance, so much as 

 on account of the facility of detection by analytic methods, the greater number 

 are to be traced among marine animals and plants ; a few in the latter class
