British Entomological Works recently published. 



The Trustees of the British Museum have published the following 

 during 1861 :— 



' A Catalogue of Lycaenidae,' by W. C. Hewitson, with plates. 



* Catalogue of Lepidoptera-Heterocera," by Francis Walker, F.L.S. 



' Catalogue of British Coleoptera,' by G. R. Waterhouse, F.Z.S., 

 &c., 1861. 



' The Pocket Catalogue of British Coleoptera,' by the same author. 



The former of these works realizes the hopes of our English col- 

 lectors in supplying a want that has long been felt of a list of our 

 native beetles, the nomenclature of which should be in accordance 

 with that in use on the Continent, at the same time including that 

 hitherto used in this country. Only an intense love of and long-con- 

 tinued application to his work could have carried the author through 

 his labours ; pecuniary recompense is out of the question, but I 

 hope there is sufficient appreciation of the boon bestowed upon 

 Coleopterists not to suffer the author to be an absolute loser by the 

 publication of this Catalogue. The 'Pocket Catalogue ' is intended 

 for a register of species in collections and for interchange among 

 collectors.
