 and near Windsor. 



Page 203. Emus hirtus. Curtis, v. xii. pi. o34. — The affinity of this group 

 with Necrophorus I first indicated in the Catalogue of my duplicates, printed 

 in 1825, in which the insects are arranged in correspondence with my 

 collection at that period, at which time no other collection (save that of the 

 Exeter Institution, which was arranged by me in 1822) was similarly 

 arranged : upon a collation of that Catalogue with Mr. Curtis's Guide, it 

 will be clearly manifest whence the variations between that and my 

 Catalogue, &c. originated. 



Page 204. Genus TRICHODERMA. Staphylinus, § A.— In my Nomen- 

 clature I proposed the name Trichoderma for this section, of which only 

 three indigenous species have yet been detected, all of which are remarkable 

 for their large size, tessellated elytra, and dusky-brown pilose aspect.

 but will probably form the type of an intermediate genus.

 Dover in 1831 : it also occurs in the north of England and near Guildford.

 recently taken by the Rev. G. T. Rudd, near Stockton, who supplied me
