 dred species have been described in tlie United States and Canada, and, at 

 an estimate, some four thousand species will probablybe found, by diligent 

 collecting, in South Carolina. An extensive collection of the Colcoptcru 

 of the State was made by Dr. C. Zimmerniann, who resided f(»r some 

 time at Columbia. This collection is now in the po.ssession of the 

 Museum of Comparative Zoology, at Camlnidge, Mass., a)ul Dr. Ziminer- 

 m.ann's MS. notes are in the good care of Dr. LeConte. of IMiiladelphia
