  Craspedophorus 
  (Panagaeus) 
  tomentosus 
  (Zool. 
  Journ.

   1824,

  = 
  C.

  This

  Macleay's 
  " 
  Annulosa 
  Javanica 
  " 
  and 
  the 
  first 
  volume 
  of 
  

   Dejean's 
  " 
  Species 
  General 
  des 
  Coleopteres 
  " 
  both 
  appeared 
  

   in 
  the 
  year 
  1825, 
  the 
  former 
  during 
  the 
  summer 
  (though 
  I 
  

   have 
  not 
  been 
  able 
  to 
  ascertain 
  the 
  month 
  of 
  publication) 
  

   and 
  the 
  latter 
  in 
  September. 
  Any 
  doubts, 
  however, 
  

   regarding 
  priority 
  are 
  set 
  at 
  rest 
  by 
  the 
  mention 
  of 
  Macleay 
  

   and 
  the 
  " 
  Aimulosa 
  Javanica 
  " 
  in 
  the 
  " 
  Table 
  Alphabeticpie 
  

   des 
  Auteurs, 
  etc.," 
  at 
  the 
  commencement 
  of 
  Dejean's 
  book. 
  

   Macleay's 
  work 
  does 
  not 
  compare 
  in 
  magnitude 
  with 
  

   Dejean's; 
  he 
  goes 
  into 
  considerable 
  detail, 
  however, 
  in 
  

   describing 
  his 
  new 
  genera, 
  and, 
  although 
  the 
  descriptions 
  of 
  

   species 
  are 
  often 
  very 
  short 
  and 
  imperfect, 
  we 
  have 
  to 
  thank 
  

   him 
  for 
  making 
  known 
  many 
  insects 
  from 
  Java, 
  the 
  

   entomological 
  fauna 
  of 
  which 
  must 
  at 
  that 
  time 
  have 
  been 
  

   almost 
  unknown. 
  It 
  is 
  unfortunate 
  that 
  the 
  types 
  of 
  

   Carabidae 
  which 
  he 
  described 
  have 
  been 
  so 
  little 
  studied 
  ; 
  

   I 
  hope 
  by 
  my 
  remarks 
  to 
  make 
  them 
  rather 
  better 
  known. 
  

  

  The 
  collection 
  of 
  Coleoptera 
  and 
  other 
  insects 
  made 
  by 
  

   Dr. 
  Horsfield 
  in 
  Java 
  during 
  the 
  years 
  1812-1817, 
  and 
  de- 
  

   scribed 
  in 
  part 
  by 
  Macleay, 
  was 
  deposited 
  and 
  remained 
  

   for 
  many 
  years 
  in 
  the 
  Museum 
  of 
  the 
  East 
  India 
  Company. 
  

   It 
  was 
  during 
  this 
  period 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  examined 
  by 
  Hope, 
  who 
  

   in 
  his 
  Coleopterist's 
  Manual 
  (Part 
  II, 
  1838) 
  gives 
  a 
  few 
  refer- 
  

   ences 
  to 
  Macleay's 
  genera 
  and 
  species, 
  and 
  on 
  plate 
  2 
  

   figures 
  six 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  with 
  anatomical 
  details. 
  In 
  1860 
  

   it 
  was 
  removed 
  to 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  where 
  it 
  was 
  

   certainly 
  seen 
  by 
  Schaum 
  and 
  possibly 
  by 
  Chaudoir. 
  

   References 
  to 
  the 
  collection 
  in 
  entomological 
  literature 
  are 
  

   few 
  and 
  generally 
  take 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  guess-work. 
  Even 
  

   Bates 
  was 
  not 
  exempt 
  from 
  this, 
  though 
  the 
  collection 
  was 
  

   known 
  to 
  and 
  occasionally 
  examined 
  by 
  him. 
  

  

  I 
  propose 
  to 
  go 
  through 
  Macleay's 
  genera 
  and 
  species,
