p. 228] are ridiculed by Breyer ; tom', cit. pp. xiv.-xviii. 
Nomenclature. J. L. Leconte, Canad. Ent. vi. pp. 186-196, discusses 
changes proposed in the names of N. American Coleoptera by the late 
G. R. Crotch, in his “Check List.” These he repudiates, accepting the 
limit of time (1766) fixed by Rule hi. of the British Association Code, 
1842. A tabulated list is given of the genera of Geoffroy, Liiiiimus, 
Fabricius, Olivier, and Latreille. Cf. also tom. cit. pp. 201-206, 223-226.

vations thereon by D. Sharp, tom. cit. p. 431. G. H. Horn, tom. cit.p. 436, 
repudiates Crotch’s alterations of names, but considers his classification 
very near the truth : E. Deyrolle, tom. cit. p. 437, demurs to some of 
its salient features.
