In this work Mulsant commences a monograpliic revision of 
the Coccinellidm at large. The classification adopted is the 
same as in his former works on the same group; the species de- 
scribed in these are briefly characterized^ and their more impor- 
tant synonyms are cited; the new species arc described indetail. 
No new generic groups are proposed in the present part.

In this volume Sufirian concludes his admirable monograph ' 
of the South American Crypt ocephalides. It includes in the first 
place some additions and corrections to the first volume, and then 
proceeds with the descriptions of the remaining genera and spe- 
cies belonging to the group. The supplementary matter consists 
partly of new species belonging to the groups described in the 
first volume, and partly of remarks on known species, including 
notices of new habitats and variations. The volume also con- 
tains a systematic index of all the species.

. In this list of British Beetles Mr. Crotch has brought together, 
in a remarkably complete manner (as might have been expected), 
all the species recorded as inhabitants of the British islands, in- 
dicating those whose claim to be regarded as indigenous seems 
doubtful by a bracket placed before their names. The species 
are numbered throughout the catalogue ; and, when the addenda 
and species incertce sedis are taken into consideration, the total 
number appears to be 3091, including what the author deno- 
minates suhspeciesj a term in classification indicating appa- 
rently a group of individuals of rank intermediate between the 
variety and the species. The doubtfully indigenous species 
marked are 109 in number, of which, however, 30 are said to 
have been undoubtedly taken in England ; 54 are represented by
