cation as the beetles, of which there said to
be no less than eighty thousand species. The
American fossil representatives of one of the
sixteen principal divisions of this group were the
subject Of an elaborate monograph prepared by
Samuel Hubbard Scudder and issued by the
United States Geological! Survey in 1857. The
insects therein discussed were the Rhyncho-
phorus. or shouted beetles. In a later monograph.
which has just been published under the same
auspices, Mr.. Scudder treats Of two other great
divisions, the Adephagous and the CIavicorn
coeoptera. Most of these have been found in
tertiary formations at Florssant. Col but some
of them in the pleistocene. Incidentally he cata-
logues other fossils which were not covered by
his earlier treatise. and which have been found
in North America. Altogether he includes twen-
tysiX families, 10 genera and 210 species in the
work, and the newer ones described at
length. Handsome drawings, showing the srec-
mems enlarged scale. constitute an i'm
portant feature of the volume.
