Staphylinid^. 
The 4th Hvraison of vol. iii. of A. Fauvel's " Faune Gallo-Rhenane " 
(Zool. Rec. ix. p. 231) has been published, containing pp. 315-390, and 
supplement i. pp. 1-24. It includes from Oxyporus to Xantholinus (the 
usual method of classification being inverted), and the supplement 
enumerates additions and corrections for all the part hitherto pubKshed. 
New genera and species are characterized, and much synonymy (including 
many obviously random guesses) is given. References are made to pi. iii. 
not published with the above-mentioned portion.

measurement in this family, and reverts to the Erichsonian enumeration 
of 6 segments for that portion of the body.
