Excerpt from The Coleoptera of the British Islands, Vol. 5: A Descriptive Account of the Families, Genera, and Species Indigenous to Great Britain and Ireland, With Notes as to Localities, Habitats, Etc In issuing the concluding Volume of this work, I feel that acknowledgement is due to the many supporters who have helped to make it a success, and to the many friends who have so kindly assisted me with information as to habits and localities, or by the loan of specimens besides those whom I have mentioned (Vol. I. Preface, p. vi.), I am especially indebted to Mr. S. Stevens, Mr. H. Moncreaff, Mr. W. F. H. Blandford and Dr. A. Chapman, and also to Mrs. Power for kindly placing Dr. Power's collection at my disposal. At the beginning of Vol. I. (Preface, p. xviii.) I expressed my intention of discussing the classification adopted in the work at its conclusion; the chief points, however, have been alluded to under the different divisions and families, and I have therefore abandoned the idea of dealing further with the subject, especially as I see no reason for altering the general classification in the present state of our knowledge.
