page, " two ... punctures." Is this 

 correct.'; in my specimen, named by 

 Say, there is only one puncture. 



P. 469. Feronia placida. From a 

 specimen wanting the head and thorax, 

 in Say's cabinet, it is certain that this 

 is no other than Agonum morosum Dej., 

 No. logo Harr. Coll. 



P. 470. Feronia muta. Omasi'us po- 

 litus H. 



P. 471. Feronia impumtata. Incor- 

 rectly referred to Aniara faniiliaris by 

 Dejean. This cannot be an Aniara 

 and certainly not the faniiliaris, which 

 has a differently shaped thorax and no 

 deep punctures on the third elytral 

 stria, and is much smaller with bronzed 

 elytra etc. Only one elytron of this 

 insect renuiiiied in Mr. Say's cabinet, 

 the shoulder formed as in Feronia decens 

 and the marginal punctures are as in 

 the allied species of Anchomenus, 1316 

 and 1302 Harr Cab. The marginal 

 and submarginal striae are not deeper 

 than the others and there is a regular 

 series of large punctures on the sub- 

 marginal stria, not serrated as in Argu- 

 tor, Omaseus, etc. On the whole, I pre- 

 sume that the impunctata is an Ancho- 

 menus, if the F. decens and my Nos. 

 1316 and 1302 belong to the genus. 



P. 473. Feronia aiitumnalis, line 2 ; 

 after edge, add : of the thorax. Is a • 

 Harpalus ; specimen in Say's Cab., 

 and one from Melsheimer. 



P. 476. Feronia nutans. Striato- 

 punctatum Dej. teste Say. 



P. 477. Feronia decora. An Ancho- 

 menus. 



P. 477. Feronia decens. An Ancho- 

 menus. 



P. 488, 489. Dicaclus purpuralus, D. 

 violaceus. These two differ only in size 

 and from the specimens in Say's cabi- 

 net are evidently identical, and are 

 both to be referred to the violaceus of 

 Dejean. 



P. 511. Colymhctcs nitidis. From 

 Say's specimen it is evident that this is 

 only a variety of his obtusatus in which 

 the fenestrate spots are less distinct or 

 obsolete. 



P. 521. Descriptions etc. [The title 

 of the original pamphlet, referred to in 

 Dr. LeConte's note reads : Descriptions 

 of new species of North American insects 

 etc. A copy, from Dr. Harris' library, 

 in the Boston society of natural history, 

 enables me to give the following details. 

 It is composed of 84 pp., the first being 

 the title page and the reverse blank. 

 The title bears date 1829-1833, but the 

 first sheet after the Correspondence 

 bears date in ink in Say's writing 

 "March 17, 1830," and the last pages, 

 beginning on p. 73^ and received by 

 Dr. Harris from Mrs. Say (after Say's 

 death) in November, 1834, bear printed 

 date Aug. i, 1834. The third and 

 fourth pages are a leaf from tiie Dis- 

 seminator*, with, among other matter, 

 the Correspondence about the cotton 

 plant insect (see reference above to vol. 

 i p. 369). After this comes the article 

 proper: ist, four unnumbered pages 



* Perhaps merely pasted into Dr. 

 not found in mine.
