  Mr. 
  Schwarz 
  is 
  the 
  best 
  Coleopterist 
  at 
  present 
  living 
  in 
  

   the 
  United 
  States. 
  He 
  has 
  been 
  good 
  enough 
  to 
  loolc 
  over 
  the 
  previous 
  

   list 
  and 
  to 
  note 
  errors 
  and 
  probable 
  errors. 
  In 
  this 
  way 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  

   cleared 
  of 
  most 
  of 
  such 
  species 
  as 
  were 
  erroneously 
  identified. 
  Mr. 
  

   Schwarz 
  has 
  determined 
  many 
  New 
  Jersey 
  specimens 
  for 
  others 
  as 
  

   well 
  as 
  myself, 
  and, 
  notably, 
  all 
  the 
  "Staphylinids" 
  credited 
  to 
  Mr. 
  

   Reinick. 
  He 
  has 
  done 
  little 
  collecting 
  in 
  New 
  Jersey, 
  yet 
  is 
  sole 
  

   authority 
  for 
  the 
  occurrence 
  of 
  several 
  good 
  species 
  in 
  our 
  State.

  "Coleoptera";

  records

  D. 
  C. 
  With 
  Mr. 
  E. 
  A. 
  Schwarz 
  he 
  

   compiled 
  a 
  list 
  of 
  "Coleoptera" 
  in 
  the 
  District 
  of 
  Columbia, 
  with 
  notes 
  

   on 
  the 
  food 
  and 
  other 
  habits 
  of 
  the 
  species, 
  and 
  these 
  notes 
  when 
  

   used 
  are 
  credited 
  to 
  "U." 
  

  

  Uhler, 
  Dr. 
  Philip 
  R., 
  Baltimore, 
  Md. 
  Our 
  leading 
  authority 
  in 
  "Hemiptera- 
  

   Heteroptera." 
  The 
  records 
  cited 
  are 
  chiefly 
  from 
  his 
  check 
  list. 
  Dr. 
  

   Uhler 
  has 
  also 
  determined 
  much 
  of 
  the 
  material 
  cited 
  by 
  other 
  con- 
  

   tributors 
  to 
  this 
  list. 
  His 
  credit 
  is 
  therefore 
  greater 
  than 
  appears 
  

   from 
  the 
  actual 
  number 
  of 
  citations 
  made.

  In

  an

  is

  all 
  the

   Dr.

  was 
  good 
  enough 
  

   to 
  have 
  this 
  index 
  looked 
  over 
  for 
  records 
  of 
  species 
  sent 
  in 
  from 
  

   New 
  Jersey, 
  and 
  quite 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  useful 
  notes 
  were 
  obtained 
  in 
  this 
  

   way.

  This 
  col- 
  

   lection 
  is 
  now 
  altogether 
  the 
  largest 
  in 
  the 
  country, 
  though 
  exceeded 
  

   by 
  individual 
  collections 
  in 
  almost 
  every 
  order. 
  It 
  contains 
  much 
  

   material 
  from 
  New 
  Jersey 
  from 
  my 
  old 
  collection, 
  which 
  was 
  s'old 
  to 
  

   the 
  Museum 
  in 
  1887, 
  from 
  the 
  Linell 
  collection 
  of 
  "Coleoptera," 
  and 
  

   from 
  the 
  Fox 
  collection 
  of 
  "Hymenoptera." 
  There 
  is 
  also 
  some 
  

   material 
  from 
  other 
  sources, 
  and 
  I 
  have 
  looked 
  over 
  all 
  the 
  orders 
  

   other 
  than 
  "Coleoptera," 
  "Lepidoptera" 
  and 
  "Diptera" 
  for 
  notes

   to 
  localities 
  or 
  other 
  data.

  other 
  collectors, 
  and 
  has 
  himself 
  collected 
  at 
  several 
  points 
  

   in 
  the 
  State. 
  Without 
  his 
  assistance 
  the 
  lists 
  in 
  the 
  "Homopterous" 
  

   families 
  would 
  be 
  far 
  less 
  complete.

   in
