Article XIX.— LIST OF THE CARABIDZ OF FLORIDA! 
By CuHarues W. LENG. 
In the Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society, February 1, 
1878, appeared the ‘Coleoptera of Florida’ by H. G. Hubbard and E. A. 
Schwarz, with descriptions by John L. Leconte; 1457 species were therein 
enumerated. During the thirty-seven years which have elapsed since that — 
famous paper was printed the number of known species has become about 
doubled, making a new list desirable. 
The materials available include (1.) an annotated copy of the list above 
mentioned loaned by Mrs. Annie Trumbull Slosson, in which the results 
of many winter trips to Florida have been carefully recorded. Her collec- 
tions were made principally at Jacksonville, Ormond, Lake Worth, De 
Funiak Springs, Tarpon Springs, Pensacola, Suwannee, Biscayne Bay, 
Belleair, Punta Gorda, Atlantic Beach, Altamonte, Enterprise, and Naples, 
always from January to March. The identifications were commonly made 
by Mr. Charles Liebeck, though frequently in particular groups by the 
authorities in such. (2.) An annotated list loaned by Mr. Schwarz, in 
which all additional data, either from printed matter or other communica- 
tions were noted. Many of Mrs. Slosson’s records are here duplicated, all 
the printed and manuscript lists by Castle and Laurent, Hamilton, Johnson 
and others are included, as well as stray notes from taxonomic papers, and 
corrections by Mr. Schwarz of the original list. (8.) The results of several 
trips to Florida by members of the staff of the American Museum of Natural 
History and of the New York Entomological Society, including those otf 
Mr. Gustav Beyer to Key Largo; Dr. Frank E. Lutz, alone or with Mr. 
William T. Davis and the writer io Jacksonville, Lakeland, Titusville, 
Miami, the Florida Keys, Punta Gorda, Fort Myers and Newberry; Mr. 
Davis and the late John A. Grossbeck to Marco, Everglade, Deep Lake, 
Allen River, and Lake Okeechobee; Mr. Davis and Mr. Chas. E. Sleight to 
Ortega, La Grange, Big Pine Key and Key West; Mr. Andrew J. Mutchler 
and Mr. Frank E. Watson to Gainesville, Monticello, Crestview, De Funiak 
Springs, and Pensacola. (4.) A number of records have been obtained from
