NOTES ON THE BRITISH EALTICID^. 



Learning in October, 1863, that Herr Kutschera, of Vienna, was engaged upon 

 a Monogi-aph of the Halticidce, I thought it desirable he should see a series of our 

 British species, and that I should obtain his opinions relating to them. T therefore 

 made up as complete a collection of them as I was able, at the time, to do, and 

 forwarded it to Vienna, together with such observations on the species as I thought 

 might possibly be useful to him. This collection is now returned to me, with the 

 accompanying names and observations kindly furnished by Herr Kutschera. They 

 will, no doubt, interest many of the readers of the " Entomologist's Monthly 

 Magazine."
