Art. XXXVI. — On the Coleoptera of the Kermadec Islands. 

 By Major T. Broun, F.E.S. 



[Read before the Auckland Institute, 22nd November, 1909.] 



The beetles collected by the recent scientific expedition were received from 

 Mr. W. L. Wallace, of Timaru, on the 3rd February, 1909. 



Before proceeding with the result of my examination of the various 

 species, it seems but right that some of the difficulties encountered by the 

 members of the expedition should be recorded. 



Denham Bay, with about 200 acres of level land, was selected as the 

 most suitable site for the main camp. When starting on a collecting tour, 

 an almost perpendicular wall, ranging from 800 ft. to 1,500 ft. in height, had 

 to be ascended, each man having 30 lb. or 40 lb. weight of food, water, and 

 other necessary articles strapped on his back. 



When the crater was to be explored, there was a dangerous climb of 800 ft. 

 along a winding track up the face of loose pumice formation, which was 

 constantly slipping away from under their feet, the descent, on returning 

 to the main camp, being even more hazardous. The huge crater, which 

 now consists of rmdulating forest land and three lakes, was descended with 

 the help of tree-roots.
