Notes to 1. Coleoptera. 



\Nbtel. — This Table is made up to show the distribution of par- 

 ticular forms. On this point, the relative number of species is a 

 secondary consideration ; and even were it not so, we could not use 

 it ; for the statistics we have are, for any purpose requiring accu- 

 racy, wholly unreliable, from insufficient exploration and imper- 

 fect knowledge of the contents of different countries, from unna- 

 tural dismemberment of forms into new genera, and from the 

 inaccuracy or carelessness of describers, who, besides describing, 

 as new, species which have been already described, have multi- 

 plied or diminished the number of species, each according to his 

 own notions of what constitutes a species. To say nothing of 

 the number, however, might sometimes lead to an undue idea of 

 the strength of representation of the same genera in different 

 countries ; I have therefore occasionally added the approximate 

 numbers of the species known in each district, when it could be 

 done without much trouble and with some approach to accuracy. 

 Where I have not given the numbers I have marked the dis-
