Vol. xxiii] ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS 



BIBLIOGRAPHIA CoLEOPTEROLOGiCA. Under this title W. Junk, the 

 Entomological publisher and antiquarian bookseller of Berlin (W. 

 15, Kurfurstendamm 201), has brought out a catalogue of 3928 Coleop- 

 terological books and memoirs, arranged alphabetically under authors' 

 names, which he has for sale. The edition of this Bibliographia which 

 is bound in linen boards, includes fourteen pages on "Die Coleoptero- 

 logische Literatur," which gives the principal works of reference on 

 this group of insects under such headings as: For the Beginner (Ger- 

 man), Coleoptera of Central Europe, Nomenclature, Larvae, French 

 fauna, Nearctic Region [where Blatchley's Coleoptera of Indiana has 

 not yet found a place], etc. This edition is sold at one mark, and this 

 summary of the literature (which is lacking in the paper-bound copies 

 distributed free) should be very useful.
