In addition to the above list, there have been found a number of mi- 

 nute species, mostly of the families Sfaphi/linklse and Curcuh'nnidse which 

 I have not as yet been able to name. The only Longicorn I have met 

 with, is a single specimen of Cyrtopliorus. nlcjor Lee, or a variety of Gly- 

 us albo/asciatiis Gory, I am not decided as to the true name. It was 

 found at some little depth in the soft wood of a decaying elm, in as neat 

 a receptacle as can be imagined.
