Rev. A. THORNLEY, M.A., F.L.S., F.E.S. 



SHORTLY before Mr. Bruce went away with the Jackson- 

 Harmsworth Polar Expedition, he sent me a small box of 

 insects collected chiefly during the month of May 1896. 

 Amongst the Coleoptera were some very conspicuous species, 

 all taken on, or close to, the summit of the mountain. For 

 previous lists of insects from the locality, readers are referred 

 to the January, April, and July numbers of this Magazine 

 for 1896. The following is the list of additional species.
