Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings of the United States National Museum, 1903, Vol. 25: Published Under the Direction of the Smithsonian Institution
The following list of the Coleoptera of the District of Columbia is the result Of a diligent search extending over a period of nearly forty years.
In the fifties, the city of Washington was still surrounded by many fine woods and lovely meadows, which promised the entomologist and botanist a rich harvest. In truth, almost every collecting excursion in those days furnished abundant new material and raised the interest and enthusiasm of the collector to a high pitch.
