been named for liirn by Mr. Ulrich, " Scolt/tus hcBinorrhous, 

 Meg. ;" the vague description, however, there given can 

 scarcely be admitted as a scientific diagnosis, and is more-

 curate description and beautiful figure : both works were 

 published in 1837. Ratzeburg's introduction is dated April, 

 1837, — Kollar's, May, 1837. I give the preference, there- 

 fore, in accordance with the course generally adopted on the 

 Continent, even by Kollar's fellow citizen Redtenbacher, to 

 the trivial name of rugulosus, Ratzeb.
