orders not till 193G ! ! could I even devote my whole time to them, as professed by 

 Rlr. Curtis, whereas I can only employ a few hours, stolen from relaxation and repose, each 

 evening after the fatigues of the day. 



I liave thus endeavoured to describe all our indigenous Coleoptera, but in spite of my ut- 

 most exertions it is evident that some must be omitted : nevertheless, when it is remarked that 

 jMarsham's Coleoptera Britannica (published in 1802) contains only 1307 species, to which 

 subsequent writers added about 300 only, previously to the commencement of these Illus- 

 trations, and as the latter embrace descriptions of about 3G50, 1 have considerably more 

 than doubled the number of species known to inhabit this country only eight years since, 

 and of this number all within 150 are now in my own cabinets, many of them in extensive 

 series of 200 or 300 varieties, although it has been assumed that I have made " every 

 variety a species "! Finally, I shall observe, that at the time I commenced this work, there 

 were not as many species (3646) of indigenous insects described or recorded in all other 

 publications, and throughout all the orders, as I have described in Coleoptera alone !
