NEW BRITISH SPECIES, ETC., IN 1865. 53 



of Mr. Dallas' work in the " Record of Zoological Litera- 

 ture," lately published by Van Voorst. It must be enough 

 to say that the amount of information concerning the cur- 

 rent transactions of societies, general works on ColeopterOf 

 scattered papers, &c., brought together in that volume, is of 

 surprising extent ; and not only are most (if not all) of the 

 last year's publications individually mentioned, but they are, 

 for the greater part, digested very fully, and often accom- 

 panied by comments of the author. Of course, considering 

 the area undertaken, and the short time allowed (especially 

 since this is the first issue), it is not surprising that Mr. 

 Dallas has been led into several errors, both of omission and 

 commission, but mostly of small importance. 



I will conclude these introductory remarks by drawing 

 attention to the following list of species (upwards of one 

 hundred in number), recorded in the last edition of M. de 

 Marseul's Catalogue of European Coleoptera as occurring in 

 Great Britain.
