Wimbledon Common is a good locality, particularly on that side 

 next to the Kingston Road. The part referred to above, lies immedi- 

 ately behind the Bald-faced Stag Farm. The captures at Kingston 

 Hill were made from the flowers of ivy, growing on the wall of Rich- 

 mond Park, at the entrance on the top of the hill. 



The flowers of lime-trees I found to be greatly frequented by Noc- 

 tuae, and the flowers of Centranthus ruber were, during the summer, 

 their favourite haunt. J. W. Douglas.

 ing access to the various periodicals which contain such descriptions, 

 may inadvertently merely swell the list of synonymes by his most care- 

 ful lucubrations. Although we confidently anticipate the eventual 

 appearance of a work on the Coleoptera of the United States, in which 

 the various detached essays may be methodically an-angcd, still those 

 who possess materials, collected with great labour and at considerable 

 cost, are little justified in withholding from the public the information 

 they have obtained, through a disinclination to interfere with some 

 remote treatise, the very outline of which is scarcely }^et imagined. — 

 The immense collection of Coleoptera brought from the United States 

 by Messrs. E. Doubleday and R. Foster, having been submitted to Dr. 

 Harris of Boston, and in great measure named by that learned and/
