re 
and on some Types of Oriental Carabidae. 151 
specimens for comparison, but in some cases I had no 
knowledge whatever of the species described or even the 
genus to which it belonged. Since my return I have sent 
specimens of most of these species to Mr. Henriksen, who 
has very kindly made the comparisons which I was unable 
to make personally. 
The types with which I propose to deal in this section are 
those of Fabricius and Wiedemann, which I will take 
separately, giving references where necessary and indicating 
both the modern and original genera. Unless otherwise 
specified, the type, where seen, agrees with the traditional 
identification. I may add that I found the collections in 
the most excellent condition. 
The Fabrician types at Copenhagen came chiefly from 
the Sehestedt and Tonder Lund collections, the incorpora- 
tion of which in the general collection was undertaken by 
Schiddte (1815-1884): this came to a stop at his death, 
and has not been completed. The Wiedemann types were 
in the collection of B. W. Westermann (1781-1868), a 
merchant of Copenhagen, who in early life held appoint- 
ments in Calcutta and Batavia. He returned to Denmark 
in 1817, and with the aid of his oversea connections formed 
a very. large collection of insects, which at his death came 
to the Zoological Museum. By the terms of his will the 
collection was to remain intact until the beginning of the 
new century, and its subsequent incorporation, commenced 
in 1900, is still uncompleted. 
I have to thank Dr. Will. Lundbeck for the kind reception 
which he gave me at the University Museum, and my 
special thanks are due to Mr. Kai L. Henriksen, who 
devoted himself to finding and showing me the various 
types which I desired to see, and also furnished me with the 
information I have given about the Copenhagen collections, 
and the various entomologists connected with them. 
The private collection of Fabricius, which contains a 
certain number of types, is now in the Zoological Institute 
and Museum of Kiel University. I have not seen this 
collection, but, at my request, the Director of the Depart- 
ment, Dr. Reibisch, has examined it to ascertain whether 
it contains the types of certain species of which I sent him 
a list. I have to thank him for doing this and for enabling 
me to indicate the types that are at Kiel. He informs me 
that the arrangement of the collection follows that given 
in the Systema Eleutheratorum: the labels are in the hand-
