number of reprints are ordered, which are 

 paid for out of the funds of the society, and 

 the reprints are distributed among the mem- 

 bers. The members, thereby, get the tran- 

 sactions in separate forms, and the public 

 have access to them by purchasing the 

 magazine in which the papers are printed. 

 Dr. Ellis's list comprises 151 species, nearly 

 half of those recognised as occurring in 

 Britain. The exact locality where the species 

 have been found is given in all cases, except 

 those that occur everywhere. The initials of 

 the captor are also given, and brief notes on 

 some of the species. This is to be followed 

 by lists of the other groups, and when com- 

 pleted will be the first entire catalogue of the 

 " Coleoptera of Liverpool and neighbour- 

 hood."
