NOTES ON EUROPEAN ENTOMOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS. 



By Philip P. Calvert. 



' VIII. —TURIN. 



The Museums of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy of the 

 Reale Universita di Torino are housed in the Palazzo Carignano. 

 Prof. Lorenzo Camerano is Director of both, with Dr. Achille 

 Griffini as entomological Assistant in the former, and Dr. Er- 

 manno Giglio-Tos in the latter. To Prof. Camerano the writer 

 is indebted for a most enjoyable visit to the collections, and to 

 Dr. Griffini for the following notes on their chief entomological 

 contents. 



The entomological collections comprise more than 250.000 

 specimens. 



COLEOPTERA. 



Among the Coleoptera are particularly to be mentioned the 

 Heteromera and a part of the Chrysomelidse, formerly belonging 

 to the collection of Dejean. 



The general collection of the Marchese di Breme, rich in many 

 type specimens.
