L. Gressitt and J. J. H. Szent-Ivany (joint authors). The first (now published, 1968) is a bibliography of New Guinean entomology. The second, now being planned, is a history of entomological exploration in New Guinea, with a list of localities. And the third, also being planned, is on the environment of New Guinea from an entomological standpoint. (This in- formation is from a letter from Dr. J. L. Gressitt dated December 26, 1967.) [5] Localities: Ideally, I should like to map all New Guinean localities at which Carabidae have been collected, but this has proved beyond my power. I can, how- ever, present the following new maps, pre- pared by Miss Sally Babb (now Mrs. Joseph Landry) under my direction. Figure 1 is a small-scale orthographic map de- signed to show the relation of New Guinea to other land areas from southern Asia to northern Australia. Figure 2 is a map of New Guinea as a whole showing general features of the island, some localities, and outlines of limited areas which are mapped in more detail. And Figures .'3-5 are more detailed maps of parts of New Guinea in which important carabid localities are too numerous to show on Figure 2. Many New Guinean localities are spelled in different ways by different authorities, but I cannot list alternative spellings here. Some lo- calities are put in slightly different places on different maps and by different gazet-' teers; some margin of error shoul
