THE SUBSTITUTE. 
to convey his knowledge to others. 
The names placed under each re- 
cognised species as synonymes, are 
quoted (with some exceptions) 
without the prefix of the genus, 
and the names only of the authors 
are affixed, without a reference to 
the place in their works where 
they are to be found. An En- 
glishman might guess what is 
meant, but so he might without 
this list, and for a foreigner the 
task is hopeless, a result the more 
to be regretted as the author has 
attained a European reputation. 
But there is a still graver fault: 
the genera are not always a])plied 
correctly. Take the following for 
one instance out of many. 
Antiiuibus, Fabricius, 
A. Albinos, Lin. Marsh, GylL, 
ffC. 
Now, as the genus Artihrihus 
was not published by Fabricius in 
the ‘ Systema Eleutheratorum ’ un- 
til 1801, when Linna;us had been 
dead twenty-three years, this spe- 
cies cannot be called the Anthri- 
bus albums of Linnaeus. It was 
included by Linnaeus in his genus 
Curevlio, a name which has no 
representative in this list, and is 
only recalled to our recollection 
by being used as a foundation for 
a family appellation. 
From our knowledge of the 
patience and assiduity 'viih which 
for many years the author laboured 
at this, his favourite family, we 
entertain no doubt that this list is 
correct ; it was only required that 
he should have put upon paper 
what he had in his head, or ratlier 
what he had at his fingers’ ends. 
The requisite corrections can 
easily be made in the next edition, 
which we hope will soon appear, 
for this is often unintelligible.
