42. Preliminary Account of a revised Classification of 
Indo-Australian Passalidae.! 
By F. H. Gravezy, M.Sc., 
Assistant Superintendent, Indian Museum. 
Shortly before he started on the journey to Central Asia 
from which he never returned, Dr. Stoliczka published in the 
Journal of this Society ‘‘ A Contribution towards a Monograph 
of the Indian Passalidae’’ based on material in the collection 
of the Indian Museum, much of which he was himself instru- 
during the years 1896-8. Kuwert’s work does not appear to 
have received its final revision before its author’s death and 
I have recently been occupied in revising Stoliczka’s work 
on the Indian Museum Collection of Passalidae in the light 
ear nl
