Article V. — SUPPLEMENT TO PRELIMINARY LIST OF THE 

 COLEOPTERA OF THE WEST INDIES. 



By Charles W. Leng, B. S., Honorary Curator of Coleoptera 

 and Andrew J. Mutchler, Assistant. 



In the preface to the Preliminary List of the Coleoptera of the West 

 Indies x we asked our readers to communicate any papers or manuscript 

 notes bearing on the subject and expressed the hope of publishing later the 

 records of the collections in this and possibly other museums. We have 

 received a number of such communications in response to our request and 

 have examined the material in the National Museum. To all who have 

 thus aided us we are grateful, but particularly to Mr. E. A. Schwarz, to 

 whose great knowledge of the subject and great patience and liberality in 

 communicating his knowledge to us we owe much more than we can repay. 

 In addition to the identified specimens, now added to the published records, 

 there exists in this and other museums, a mass of unidentified material con- 

 sisting largely of undescribed species of which at present no satisfactory 

 records can be published. The additions (about 200), corrections, and 

 notes that follow are derived either from the sources named or from the ex- 

 tensive West Indian material accumulated in American Museum and are in 

 each instance credited to the proper source by an abbreviation. The ex- 

 planation of such abbreviations and, concurrently, the authorities are given 

 in the following list.
