  " 
  Tableau

  [Read

  In 
  1810 
  Bonelli 
  published 
  in 
  the 
  " 
  Memoires 
  " 
  of 
  the 
  

   Academie 
  Imperiale 
  de 
  Sciences 
  de 
  Turin 
  the 
  first 
  part 
  of 
  

   his 
  " 
  Observations 
  Entomologiques," 
  the 
  second 
  part 
  

   following 
  in 
  1813. 
  Both 
  parts 
  referred 
  exclusively 
  to 
  the 
  

   family 
  of 
  the 
  Carabidae, 
  and 
  various 
  new 
  genera 
  and 
  

   species 
  were 
  described. 
  In 
  addition 
  there 
  was 
  a 
  large 
  

   " 
  Tableau 
  Synoptique," 
  which 
  differentiated 
  the 
  then 
  

   known 
  genera, 
  and 
  included 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  new 
  ones. 
  Among 
  

   the 
  latter 
  are 
  many 
  common 
  European 
  genera, 
  and 
  Bonelli 
  

   has 
  always 
  been 
  credited 
  with 
  the 
  authorship 
  of 
  such 
  as 
  

   appeared 
  for 
  the 
  first 
  time 
  in 
  the 
  " 
  Tableau." 
  

  

  Desiring 
  to 
  consult 
  this 
  work, 
  I 
  examined 
  at 
  the 
  Natural 
  

   History 
  Museum 
  the 
  volumes 
  of 
  " 
  Memoires 
  " 
  of 
  the 
  Turin 
  

   Academy 
  containing 
  the 
  two 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  " 
  Observations 
  

   Entomologiques," 
  but 
  to 
  my 
  surprise 
  was 
  unable 
  to 
  find 
  

   it. 
  Mr. 
  C. 
  Davies 
  Sherborn 
  of 
  the 
  " 
  Index 
  Animahum," 
  

   whom 
  I 
  consulted, 
  advised 
  me 
  to 
  examine 
  the 
  other 
  copies 
  

   of 
  the 
  " 
  Memoires 
  " 
  to 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  London, 
  viz. 
  a 
  copy 
  

   at 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  (Bloomsbury), 
  and 
  copies 
  in 
  the 
  

   Libraries 
  of 
  the 
  Royal 
  and 
  Linnaean 
  Societies. 
  The 
  latter 
  

   I 
  was 
  enabled 
  to 
  see 
  through 
  the 
  courtesy 
  of 
  the 
  respective 
  

   Librarians, 
  and 
  the 
  former 
  I 
  saw 
  in 
  the 
  Reading 
  Room. 
  

   None 
  of 
  them 
  contained 
  any 
  trace 
  of 
  the 
  " 
  Tableau." 
  

   Mr. 
  Sherborn 
  was 
  then 
  kind 
  enough 
  to 
  write 
  to 
  Prof. 
  

   C. 
  F. 
  Parona 
  of 
  the 
  Royal 
  Academy 
  of 
  Turin, 
  who 
  wrote 
  

   in 
  reply 
  that 
  the 
  volumes 
  in 
  the 
  Library 
  of 
  the 
  Academy 
  

   were 
  also 
  without 
  any 
  copy, 
  but 
  that 
  Bonelh's 
  own 
  copy 
  

   of 
  the 
  " 
  Tableau 
  " 
  was 
  in 
  the 
  Royal 
  Zoological 
  Museum. 
  

   Count 
  Salvadori, 
  the 
  Director 
  of 
  the 
  Museum, 
  has 
  had 
  

   the 
  goodness 
  to 
  have 
  a 
  MS. 
  copy 
  prepared, 
  together 
  with 
  

   a 
  copy 
  of 
  the 
  plate, 
  and 
  its 
  accompanying 
  explanation. 
  

   These 
  he 
  has 
  sent 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Sherborn, 
  and 
  they 
  are 
  now 
  

   preserved 
  in 
  vol. 
  xx 
  of 
  the 
  " 
  Memoires 
  " 
  of 
  the 
  Turin 
  

   Academy 
  (containing 
  the 
  second 
  part 
  of 
  Bonelli's 
  paper) 
  

   in 
  the 
  Library 
  of 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  (Nat. 
  Hist.) 
  for 
  

   future 
  reference.

  are

  much
