^24^— 'F^i/ms bhnaailatus Melsh. Three years ago I found one speci- 

 men crawling around in a cork-lined box used for duplicates. As 

 I could not discover that my duplicates were infested, I did not 

 overhaul the box. The following summer, June, 1887, I found 

 two or three specimens of this interesting beetle in the same box. 

 Since then I have kept it as a breeding place for this species, and 

 in May, 1888, found several more specimens therein. I have no 

 recollection of having ever placed in the box anything but Cana- 

 dian beetles, and thus introduced it from abroad. The beetles 

 submitted as food for the larvae bear evidences of having been 

 used as designed. Packard says that the commoner species, 

 Ftinus fur Linn., is known to attack collections of insects.
