[1565] Illig. Mag. iii. 222. Mr. Stephens however, whose experience is great in the best modes of collecting, is of opinion that insects that have been immersed in spirits of wine are apt to become mouldy. We have not ourselves observed this.
[1571] In the figure just quoted the artist has represented the insect as transfixed in this way.
[1573] Mr. Samouelle (Useful Compendium, 321) recommends a somewhat different method.
[1575] Some other methods are recommended by Mr. Samouelle, which the reader will find in his Useful Compendium, 318.

[1585] In Elater, Fabricius describes 137 species; in Melolontha, 149; in one section of Rhynchænus, 161; of Curculio, 183; and in his Papiliones Heliconii, 300.
[1586] Thus he places Chlænius holosericæus and nigricornis, which might pass for varieties, far asunder; and Dromius agilis is even put in a different section from D. quadrimaculatus, truncatellus, &c.
[1587] The continuance of this important privilege, by the lamented death of the learned President, is now rendered uncertain; but I trust we may anticipate, that by the liberality of the members of the Linnean Society, and if necessary of the public, this invaluable treasure, by being fixed in the Metropolis, will be more than ever accessible to the British Naturalist.
[1588] It may not be amiss to mention a few:—Sphæridium dytiscoides is a Hydrophilus related to H. fuscipes. S. glabratum is heteromerous, probably one of the Helopii Latr. Carabus retusus and Maderæ both belong to Calosoma. Cistela angustata is a true Choleva. See Linn. Trans. xi. 138.—S.
[1591] For dissections the one recommended above, p. 201, may be used. Sometimes a watchmaker's eye-glass, which also sets the hands at liberty, will be found useful.

[1695] N.B. Where the volume is not indicated, the third is to be understood.
[1696] Where the volume referred to is not indicated, the fourth is to be understood. The reader will also be pleased to observe that the references to Partial Orismology are accompanied by the characteristic mark of each part, as given in the table, Vol. III.
[1697] It is to be observed, that the individuals of this Order belong some to Mandibulata, as Nirmus; others to Haustellata, as Pediculus; and others, as the Polypoda, in which the seven organs of a perfect mouth are multiplied, properly to neither of these subclasses.
