CATALOGUE OF THE COLEOPTERA OF AMERICA, NORTH OF MEXICO. 

 BY CHARLES W. LENG. 



We are able to announce the appearance of this longlooked-for 

 catalogue. It will be especially welcomed by the North American 

 coleopterists, and we expect to have a thorough reveiw of it appear in 

 a subsequent issue of this journal. We will say, however, from a gen- 

 eral student's casual glance, that it is a thoroughly practical work of its 

 kind. Copies can be purchased at Ten Dollars each from John D. 

 Sherman, Jr., 132 Primrose Avenue, Mount Vernon, New York. 



Regarding the dates of issue of this catalogue, the following infor- 

 mation was received from Mr. Sherman. 



The first copy of the paper edition was delivered to Dr. Samuel 

 Henshaw, of The Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass., 

 December 24, 1920, and other copies mailed ^the same date to Dr. E. A 

 Schwarz, of the United States National Museum, Washington, D. C., 

 and to Prof. H. F. Wickham, Towa City, Iowa. Copies were on sale 

 by Mr. Sherman, December 27th, and on December 28th copies were 

 sent to the Editor of Science. Garrison, N. Y., The American Ento- 

 mological Society, Philadelphia, and to A. S. Mutchler, of the Ameri- 

 can Museum of Natural History, New York. A copy was purchased
