In this most important work the authors have endeavoured to 
cite all the described species of Coleoptera. As far as the ge- 
nera, the subjects are systematically arranged ; tlie species under 
each genus are in alphabetical order, a mode of arrangement 
which, in a great compilation of this kind, is always the best. 
Numerous changes have been made by the authors in the names 
of genera and, especially, of species, in consecpience of doubles 
emplois revealed by their thorough investigation of the literature 
of Coleoptera j but their work will prove so thoroughly in- 
dispensable to every student of this order that any reference 
here to particular cases will be unnecessary. The portion pub- 
lished in 1868 reached the Scarabacida3.

This eighth volume of Professor Lacordaire^s great work is 
almost entirely devoted to the Longicornia — the Trictenotomidai, 
the only other family treated in it, occupying but the first four 
pages. Of the Longicornia the volume contains the Prionidcs 
and the greater part of the Cerambycidcs (the latter including 
Leptura and its allies).
