Summary:
Would like to have nearest available estimate of the total number of described, or known, Coleoptera - or those in the Museum. Also from Mr Kirby or who now is in charge of Lepidoptera, approximate number of special in that order - for lecture at the Royal Institution, hence approximation will be sufficient.
