Description:Excerpt from Coleopterological Notices III The most important contribution presented in the following paper, at least from a systematic standpoint, is a review of the Cistelidae of the United States, but I feel only too fully that the discussion of the species of a local fauna, however complete and well intended it may be, can count but scarcely more than as a letter in the alphabet of a general monograph. In the absence of representatives from other parts of the earth, we labor to a great extent blindly in the delimitation of the higher groups, and in selecting proper structural characters for the differentiation of the genera. For various reasons, however, the accumulation of the necessary material for a general revision of any family of Coleoptera, is now an exceedingly difficult matter, and this difficulty is, with the present system of museum management throughout the world, a constantly increasing one. Whether or not we are to have any more epochmaking monographs, is becoming largely a question for the museums to decide, for it is here that material is principally accumulating. These reflections call to mind another feature of the case, in which this restrictive policy of the museums is to a great degree embarrassing, and which concerns us on this side of the Atlantic more particularly - I refer to the American types of Mannerheim, Maklin, Eschscholtz, and Motschulsky. These are now reposing in extreme security within some almost inaccessible European museums, where they are practically never disturbed, but if transferred to an American museum where they could at least be occasionally examined by our working entomologists, it would be a vast aid to us and would be a loss scarcely at all appreciable to them.
