Excerpt from Coleopterological Notices, Vol. 4
The following pages are principally confined to studies in our Rhynchophora, taken up some time since for the sole purpose of distributing the nondescript material, forming a considerable part of my cabinet, with a measurable degree of scientific order and succession. As usual in such cases, the compass of the work gradu ally outgrew the limited and personal objects had in view at the beginning, and the investigations in several genera and groups became sufficiently advanced to suggest the propriety of publishing them, With the hope that they might prove useful to others similarly engaged.
