data Gryllns roseus-India. Tettigonia atrata-India ( I do not 

 think that our common noisy Tettigonia has ever been de-

 tinctive characteristic, the white spots could not have been 

 overlooked ) Cimcx Sincnsis of India Cimex (^TelyrTi-ab") Stoc-

 names of those alluded to by the above numbers, I could not 

 ascertain by L,in' s short descriptions as translated by Turton, 

 the only general work on Entomb I have in my possession 

 probably you may know them Dytiscus limbatus of India, I 

 have not seen the American species, but should much doubt 

 from some circumstances of their being the same, but you can 

 now determine by comparison 



I do not see the necessity of removing 294 from the Ips, its 

 characters for the most part seem to agree pretty well with 

 that genus ; at any rate I hardly think it can be placed with the 

 G. Triplax inasmuch as the Palpi are not hatchet shaped 



In examining those I have of the Ips, I found that 291 dif- 

 fered considerably in its generic characters from the others, I 

 allude more particularly to its Palpi, perhaps it would be more 

 correct to place it in the genus Erotylus of L,atr. , though it 

 may bear considerable affinity with Tritoma & Triplax . 



The Insect 708 does not appear to me to be altogether at 

 home in the Genus Clerus I think it ought to be transplanted 

 in company with N? s u6&ii7to L/atreilles Genus Necrobia 

 is 708 found on dead animals ? 



One of the characters of Anobiuin Pcrtinax is " Elytra with 

 8 striae of minute excavated punctures" N? 164 has 10 struu 

 on the Elytra besides an abbreviated one each side the scutel, 

 taking this differece into consideration with your observations 

 on the thorax & magnitude of our Insect when compared with 

 Pertinax I perfectly agree with you as to the necessity of 

 adapting a new name to our insect 



With the Genus Hyphydrus I am totally unacquainted, but 

 the Dytiscus maculatus of your catalogue most certainly belongs
