Fowler's British Beetles online

[poschiavanus]

Browsing Malcolm Storey's bioimages site I recently noticed that the Biodiversity Heritage Library has copies of all 6 volumes of Fowlers "British Beetles". See this link on bioimages.

Volumes are available as PDFs and in other formats for download.

Volumes 1-5 are out-of-copyright (Fowler died in 1923), but volume 6 is still in copyright until 2022 (Horace Donisthorpe died in 1951).

There is a lot of quite useful information in Fowler, but older names can make finding one's way around quite hard work.
