24 COLEOPTERA. 



The following observations, likely to be of interest to 

 British Coleopterists, and especially as regards the question 

 of '* resurrection," upon which so much energy has been 

 expended by certain of their fellow students during the past 

 year, have been made (amongst many others of a similar 

 nature, but not peculiarly affecting our list) by our erudite 

 countryman, Mr. G. H. Crotch, in von Harold's'' Coleopte- 

 rologische Hefte," vi, p. 95, et seq. The mark f is pre- 

 fixed to such of them as are adopted by T)y. Sharp in his 

 " Catalogue" hereafter noticed.
