152 Mr. H. E. Andrewes’ Notes on Synonymy 
writing of Fabricius, and, although the specimens in 
question are not of course so marked, there is no reason to 
doubt that these are in fact the types of the species which 
he described. It will be noted that very few types are 
actually lost, and possibly some of these may ultimately be 
found in other collections. 
I have also to thank Mr. P. Lesne for looking up the types 
in the “ Bose ”’ collection at the Paris Museum, which I hope 
before very long to see for myself. 
FABRICIUS. 
In my former paper (1919, 120) I gave some notes about 
Fabricius and the types of the half-dozen species of Oriental 
Carabidae in the British Museum described by him. There 
are many more species at Copenhagen, and I propose here 
to give a complete chronological list of all the species which 
he described, accompanied by such information as I am 
able to give about them. At the end of his descriptions 
Fabricius usually gives the name of the collector of the 
specimens or of the collection in which they are to be 
found, sometimes both. The names of BANKS, SEHESTEDT, 
Lunp, Vanu, and Bosc indicate collections, of which the 
first is in the British Museum, the next three in the Copen- 
hagen Museum, and the last in the Paris Museum. The 
names of DaLporrr, Smit, and ScHousBoE indicate 
collectors only, some of whom gave the insects collected to 
Fabricius himself, while others gave them to the Copen- 
hagen Museum. Dr. Konic was a physician, who was 
educated in Copenhagen and subsequently resided in India. 
His collections found their way to the AMPHITEATRUM 
OECONOMICO-NATURALE in the Castle of Charlottenborg, 
and were united with those of the University about 1770, 
but the insects seem to have perished and no types are to 
be found. The Hysner collection was acquired by Germar, 
whose collection, as I learn from Dr. Walther Horn, is now 
at Halle. Generally speaking, where no name is given, 
it appears probable that the type is in the Fabrician 
collection in the Kiel University Museum. 
It will be noted that I have included a few. palaearctic 
species in my list, but this is because they are found as 
far East as Japan. In the case of each species I give the 
earliest reference, but many of the descriptions were 
repeated by Fabricius in works subsequent to that in which 
they first appeared,
