AMERICAN COLEOPTERA.

Catalogue of COLEOPTERA from South Western Virginia. 

 BY GEO. n. HORN, M. D. 



The accompanying list of species, prepared at the request of Prof. 

 E. D. Cope, comprises all those collected by him and Prof. Leidy dur- 

 ing an extended Geological exploration of the mountainous regions of 

 several of the South-western Counties of Virginia. The object of the 

 trip being one of some importance to Geological Science, the time de- 

 voted to Entomology was of necessity quite limited and the results con- 

 sequently not large, sufficient it is hoped, to remind others while simi- 

 larly exploring of what may be attained by a small occupation of lei- 

 sure and the great gain to our knowledge of distribution by the asrgre- 

 gatiou of small collections from different regions of the country.
