111 this catalogue^ which was also published iu the ^ Abeille/ 
the author has endeavoured to furnish entomologists with a cheap 
and handy list of the Coleoptera inhabiting Europe and the re- 
gions surrounding the Mediterranean, extending, however, some 
considerable distance eastward into Asia. It includes the names 
of a great number of species not cited in De MarseuPs former 
catalogue ; but all notices of localities are omitted, and the names 
are printed in treble columns on each page, for the purpose of 
saving space, the little work being intended chiefly as a list for 
marking off the species possessed by the collector, and to be 
circulated for exchanges. The synonymy is also omitted, but 
the named varieties of many species are indicated.
