 NOTES AND NEWS. 



A supplement to the ' ' Catalogue of the Coleoptera common to 

 North America, northern Asia and Europe is in course of prepara- 

 tion. Information of the capture in North America of the following 

 species and other cosmopolites is greatly desired, and those having 

 any of them in their collections will receive due credit if they com- 

 municate them to the undersigned before long; few of them have 

 even a name in our literature, and it will be of value to science to 

 place the fact on record if any of them exist in American collections:
