No. 507. The " Classification of Goleoptera of North America," by Drs. 

 J. L. Le Conte and George H. Horn (referred to in the last report), 

 has been published during 1883. The first edition of this work was 

 published in 1861-'62, and ended with the Cerambycidoe. Within the 

 last twenty years not only have the collections of Coleoptera largely 

 increased, but many new genera have been discovered. The authors 

 have carefully examined all the new material, studied all the works by 

 foreign authors, and now present this volume as combining all the 

 literature of the subject. Its value is much increased by the addition 

 of a bibliography prepared by Mr. Samuel Henshaw, of Boston. The 

 introduction describes the peculiar characteristics of coleopterous in- 

 sects, defines their classes, and is illustrated by 67 figures of antennae, 

 mouth parts, thoraxes, legs, claws, &c. It forms an octavo volume of 

 606 pages.
