The number of forms included, 1649 species and subspecies, I am certain can be greatly increased by more extensive collecting; but, however incomplete it may be, it is hoped that this list will be an aid to collectors in this region. For this rea- son I have given exact localities, dates of capture, and some ecological data. As long ago as 1874 a paper on the Coleoptera of San Diego County was written by Mr. 0. N. Sanford, first treasurer of the San Diego Society of Natural History, and read before the Society on November 30 of that year. In- stallments were later published in the San Diego Daily Union of December 2 and 30, 1874, and January 20, 1875. The only other studies of San Diego County beetles to be published as such are the notes on certain families by Dr. P. E. Blaisdell, which appeared in "Zoe," Vol. 3, Nos. 1 to 4, 1892-1893. Por convenience, I have adopted the terminology of the Lengl "Catalogue" and its supplements; and the ntun- bers in parentheses following the names of species are those of the Leng list. All bibliographical references up to and including the year 1932 are to be found in Leng; subsequent references may be located through the Entomological Litera- ture Department of the "Entomological News." iLeng (1920) "Catalogue of the Coleoptera of America, North of Mexico." Leng and Lfiitchler (1927) "Sup- plement 1919 to 1924 (inclusive) ." Leng and Matchler (1933) "Second and Third Supplements 1925 to 193E (inclu- sive) - ." Pabl. , John D. Sherman, Jr., Mount Vernon, N. Y. (1) I have freely quoted from the "List of the Cole- optera of Southern California" by Dr. H. C. yall.S which I have found indispensable in many ways. I have used it as a starting point for published records, and have added to the references contained in it all those relating to San Diego County which could be found in entomological literature since its publication. I want to acknowledge my deep indebtedness to Dr. Frank E. Blaisdell, of the California Academy of Sciences, for his constant and untiring aid in making determinations, for his kindness in reading and checking the manuscript, and for the use of the extensive material in his collection that was secured in San Diego County years ago; to Mr. George H. Field for the thorough collecting he has done within the County over a period of thirty years, the result of which, an outstanding collection that includes a large majority of the species in this list, is now deposited in the San Diego Society of Natural History; to Mr. Clinton G. Abbott, Director, for the use of the collections, library, and other facilities of the San Diego Society of Natural History; to Mr. E. P. Van Duzee for many valuable sugges- tions and for the use of the collections and library of the California Academy of Sciences; to Mr. L. J. Muchmore for the use of the Los Angeles Musetim collections; and to Drs. Myrtle E. Johnson and Robert D. Harwood, of San Diego State College, for interested and helpful cooperation. In addi- tion, the following persons have been most generous of their time in the identification of specimens and in many other ways: Dr. E. C. Van Dyke of the University of California and the California Academy of Sciences; Mr. E. R. Leach of San Francisco; Dr. R. W. Dawson of the University of Minne- sota; Mr. J. W. Angell of New York City; Mr. Franic Parker of Globe, Arizona; Mr. F. Thorne of the Chula Vista Insectary, San Diego County; Mr. F. W. Nunenmacher of Piedmont, Cali- fornia; and Mr. F. T. Scott, of Visalia, California. Mention is from time to time made in the text of the following persons who have collected specimens as mem- bers of the staff of the San Diego Society of Natural His- tory, or have given specimens to the Society: Mr. W. S. Wright, Mr. Frank Gander, Mr. C. C. Searl, Mr. C. H. Harbison, Mr. Albert v;atson, Mr. Philip Lichty, Mr. LeHoy Arnold, Mr. Curtis Brown, Mr. F. Vi'. Kelsey, Mr. Norris Bloomfield, and Mr. Robert V/ilson. ^Occasional Papers of the California Academy of Sciences, Vol. VIII, San Francisco, 1901.
