Description:Excerpt from The Coleoptera of the British Islands, Vol. 6: A Descriptive Account of the Families, Genera, and Species Indigenous to Great Britain and Ireland, With Notes as to Localities, Habitats, Etc The last volume of the "Coleoptera of the British Islands" was published in 1891. In the preface to the first volume I expressed a hope that the work might, at all events, prove of some help towards encouraging the study of our native Coleoptera. As far as I can gather, this hope has been, in a measure at least, realised, and to judge by the results, as embodied in this volume, it will be seen that a great deal of work has been done at the Order during the past twenty years. Moreover, that work is by no means exhausted. Almost every month new species are being recorded. The present volume was practically ready some months ago, except for the plates, and the large list of addenda that has accumulated during that period shows the interest that is being taken in our Coleoptera at the present time. Dr. Sharp is of opinion that our indigenous species will be found in the future to number at least 4000, and this makes it evident that there may be much left to discover. When it appeared that there was need of a supplement to bring the work up to date, Mr. Donisthorpe, hearing of my intention to prepare one, kindly offered me the use of the list of localities, etc., which he had for some years compiled from various records. I therefore asked him if he would collaborate with me, and I am much indebted to him for his help. The first part of the work is, for the most part, mine and I hold myself responsible for it; while Mr. Donisthorpe has provided the part relating to fresh localities, and the excellent paper on the British Myrmecophilous Coleoptera, and has also undertaken the arrangement of the plates.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
