  China,

  [Read 
  7th 
  February, 
  1853.] 
  

  

  When 
  I 
  had 
  the 
  pleasure 
  of 
  laying 
  before 
  the 
  Entomological 
  

   Society, 
  a 
  short 
  time 
  since, 
  a 
  paper 
  on 
  the 
  new 
  species 
  of 
  Ceto- 
  

   niadce, 
  found, 
  in 
  China 
  by 
  R. 
  Fortune, 
  Esq., 
  (ante, 
  page 
  33,) 
  I 
  

   expressed 
  an 
  intention 
  of 
  giving 
  descriptions 
  of 
  some 
  more 
  of 
  

   this 
  gentleman's 
  discoveries 
  in 
  the 
  way 
  of 
  Entomology, 
  and 
  in 
  

   furtherance 
  of 
  this 
  object, 
  I 
  beg 
  leave 
  now 
  to 
  offer 
  the 
  following 
  

   paper 
  on 
  Longicorn 
  Beetles. 
  It 
  may 
  not 
  be 
  out 
  of 
  place 
  here 
  to 
  

   observe, 
  that 
  by 
  the 
  mail 
  steamer 
  in 
  December 
  last, 
  Mr. 
  Fortune 
  

   left 
  this 
  country 
  on 
  his 
  return 
  to 
  China, 
  with 
  the 
  full 
  intention 
  of 
  

   paying 
  as 
  much 
  attention 
  to 
  the 
  Entomology 
  of 
  the 
  districts 
  he 
  

   might 
  visit 
  as 
  his 
  more 
  important 
  duties 
  would 
  permit. 
  The 
  

   result 
  of 
  his 
  continued 
  researches 
  will, 
  there 
  is 
  every 
  reason 
  to 
  

   expect, 
  greatly 
  enrich 
  our 
  collections, 
  and 
  add 
  many 
  new 
  facts 
  to 
  

   our 
  Entomological 
  knowledge, 
  for 
  he 
  is 
  now 
  well 
  prepared 
  for 
  

   collecting 
  insects, 
  and 
  knows 
  the 
  wants 
  of 
  Entomologists, 
  and 
  has 
  

   had 
  his 
  attention 
  drawn 
  to 
  various 
  points 
  in 
  the 
  natural 
  history 
  

   of 
  the 
  insects 
  of 
  China 
  which 
  want 
  clearing 
  up, 
  and 
  which 
  require 
  

   particular 
  observation.
