Through the obliging mediation of my ^ood friend Dr. Horn 

 of Berlin I have been brought into communication with Professor 

 Kolbe of the Royal Museum at Berlin, who has done me the dis- 

 tinguished favor of entrusting to my hands for examination the 

 type specimens of a number of the Tasmanian Coleoptera 

 described by Erichson in 1842. This generous loan has enabled 

 me to clear up some of the enigmas of the Australian fauna and 

 to assign to their proper places various species which in former 

 papers I have been obliged to pass over as incapable of certain 

 identification, especially in the genus Heteronyx and the family 

 Curcidionidce. The results of my studies of the above-mentioned 

 types will be found in the following pages.
