In these elaborate Beports Mr. B-ye notices all the recorded 
discoveries of species new to the British fauna, and indicates 
any changes in the nomenclature of previously known British 
species in the course of each year. The characters by which 
the newly detected inhabitants of our islands may be distin- 
guished from their allies are also pointed out. The Report for 
1863 (Ent. Ann. 1861, pp. 73-84) contains a criticism on Dr. 
Crotches Catalogue of British Beetles, which is reprinted in 
Zoologist, 1864, pp. 9002-9009.
