While the index of the present volume was passing throujrh 

 the press, I received, through the kindness of a friend, ii copy of 

 the first edition of Say's Entomology, a work of exUremc rarity, 

 ami which I had never before seen. 



It contains six plates used subsequently in the same wurk; 

 but as they represent in part species not previously described^ 

 the work must be cited, and I therefore subjoin a list of the 

 tigures. The date on the title page is 1817.

A typical specimen of this species in Dr. Melsheimer's collec-

A typical specimen of Elatcr viridis (vol. 1, p. oDO) in I>r.

 C. micans Germar. The other species of Say, mentioned by me 

 as not determined, do not exist in the collections either of l>r.
