OF NEW SOUTH WALES. 217 



is, however, of a more elongate and flat form, less distinctly 

 striated on the elytra, and much less spinose on the legs. The 

 colour is black with the tarsi, antennse, and palpi reddish; the length 

 is seven lines ; the head and thorax are without mark or impression 

 of any kind — a faint median line on the thorax excepted ; the 

 elytra are very faintly striated ; the scutellar stria is about 

 three times the length of the scutellum and is very finely punctate, 

 and there is an impressed puncture on the inside of the second 

 interstice of each elytron just behind the middle ; the fore tarsi of 

 the male have the three first joints strongly dilated, the third 

 joint being the longest ; the hind tibiee and tarsi are long and 

 slender. 



The other Garabidce in the collection are Catadromus Australis 

 a species seemingly universally distributed throughout New Hol- 

 land. Cratogaster sulcata Blanch ; two species of Pherojpsophus, 

 one of them probably new ; four species of Chlcenius, all well 

 known; a Pacilus ; an Omaseus; and five Harpali, one of them 

 perhaps, H. inter stitialis, described by me from Port Denison many 

 years ago, but seemingly a larger and more brilliant insect. 



But I must postpone, from want of time, the identification and 

 description of these and the many other interesting things in the 

 collection until some future Meeting of the Society. 



EXHIBITS. 



The Secretary exhibited a photograph of an Australian 

 Native belonging to a peculiar tribe, entirely destitute of hair, 

 and of a bright copper color, from a district near the Balonne.
