vi. of the Deutsche E. Z, 1875 ; cf. Kraatz, tom. cit. p. 6]. 
3823 species are contained in this Catalogue, to which 18 have been 
subsequently added. It is reviewed by Strubing, in Deutsche E. Z. 1875, 
pp. 238 & 239 ; and by Kraatz in Ent. Nachr. i. p. 14.

Enumerates 209 additional species, raising the total to 3216. The 
author deplores the modern multiplication of species.

The result of the author's assumptions and observations upon the 
structure of the wing-nervures in beetles, apparently based upon in- 
sufficient data, is that all other families ‘are derived from the Malacoder- 
matay except the Adephaga^ which are accepted as their oldest kin, sepa- 
rated from the hypothetical “ Proteleutheron ” before the Malacoderms. 
The CeramhycidcG are dislocated by the association of the LucanidcB^ 
Dorcadion and allies standing as terminal types. The work is reviewed 
by Kraatz, Deutsche E. Z. 1875, pp. 444 & 445, and from his criticisms 
it would appear that the author has not a sufficient acquaintance with 
Entomology to justify his undertaking such a task. Cf. also Ent. Nachr. 
i. pp. 85 et seq.
