ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
of characteristic portions, especially of the pronotum, are scat- 
tered through tlie descriptions of species. 
There are, however, one or two defects in the execution of 
the memoir, probably due to the adoption by the author of the 
reprehensible practice of making additions or alterations during 
the progress of his work through the press, which, although 
they may be of no very material consequence, nevertheless pro- 
duce a certain appearance of haste or carelessness in a work 
evidently of great labour and research, and even cause some real 
confusion in the treatment of the subject. Thus on p. 231, in 
the table of the genera of BrachypteridcBy we find Amartus 
(Lee.) figuring as a distinct genus, whilst, on the very same 
page, it again occurs as a subgenus of Cercus, and this is the 
position occupied by it finally. Again, at page 257 the section 
Late fimbriata of tlie tribe Carpophilidce, is tabulated to show 
three genera, Colastiis, Brachypeplus, and Halopeplus ; the de- 
scriptions of the two former genera follow in their order, but 
instead of Halopeplus we find a long series of small genera, 
mostly new, entirely omitted in the table, and among which 
there is no genus Halopeplus , the place of which is probably 
occupied by Halepopeplus. Of the second section of Carpophi- 
lidce, the Aagusle-fimbriata, no table of genera is given.
