A HISTORY OF LANCASHIRE 



Mr. E. C. Stott of Swinton, Manchester, the only explorer of the 

 Coleoptera of Bolton. 



Mr. R. Wilding of Liverpool, who has collected in the Liverpool 

 and Preston districts. 



Mr. J. R. le B. Tomlin of Chester, who has collected more especially 

 along the coast north of Liverpool. 



Mr. A. Reston, Stretford, Manchester, an assiduous collector of 

 thirty years ago, whose name will be familiar to readers of the localities 

 given in Canon Fowler's British Coleoptera. 



Mr. G. Dunlop of Mossley Hill, Liverpool, who has discovered 

 several species near Liverpool new to the district. 



Use has also been made of records by Chappell, Sidebotham, T. 

 Morley, Eddleston and Kidson Taylor, all of Manchester, who collected 

 in that district fifty to thirty years ago ; of F. Archer and Constantine, 

 former collectors of the Liverpool district Coleoptera ; and of Father C. 

 Redman, sometime of Stoneyhurst, Lancashire. 



The nomenclature and arrangement here adopted is that of the 

 British Coleoptera of Canon Fowler, published in 1887.
