Practically an original work, though it may be regarded as a 2nd edit, of 
Hardy & Bold’s former Catalogue. For review, cf, Ent. M. M. vii. p. 236.

This title, which otherwise explains the scope of the work, should have 
stated that it only applies to the Cicindelidce, Carahidce, and Dytiscidce. The 
law of priority is strictly adhered to, all species being renamed by the author 
the names of which were inadmissible, as preoccupied or erroneously referred 
when’first employed. These will be noticed in their proper places ; but want 
of space will not allow the Recorder to reproduce other alterations in nomen- 
clature adopted in this useful pamphlet.
