logue, have been mentioned in parts of onv literature as occurring 

 in America, but the determinations have been erroneous, or the spe- 

 cies when introduced have failed in self propagation.

 region and the Rocky Mountains of southern Colorado, around Veta 

 Pass is noticeable, the interpretation of which is that the Coleoptera 

 of these regions have been more extensively collected and identified 

 than elsewhere. When other elevated or northern parts of the con- 

 tinent having a similar temperature and corresponding conditions 

 shall have been as carefully gone over the same results may be 

 (confidently predicted.
