'I'lio Lamellieom beetles are a very varied, interesting, and beautiful group of 

 insects of very different tyjios. Among them are the Cetoniinina or rose or flower 

 beetles, but among which comes that giant of his order the Goliath beetle of tropical 

 Africa. The Scarahceina, or dung-rolling beetles, are remarkable for their industry 

 in proviiiing a nidus for their progeny. One such clay ball (externally clay, but 

 internally made up of a ball of dung for the sustenance of the larva) may be seen in 

 the British Museum, presented by Mr. Atkinson, but found by myself in the Arakan 

 hills, -where three, four, or five such balls are often found buried one over the other, 

 and which, when wet, sometimes weigh over two pounds. The maker of these curious 

 clay balls is not known. Smaller species of beetles commonly bury similar balls of 

 clay and dung the size of tennis balls in ground where cattle are stalled, and these 

 balls are sought for eagerly by the Bunuese for the dainty grub which they contain, 

 and which they devour with gusto. Still smaller beetles arc familiar to every one as 

 ' piU-roUers ' on our roads, the male and female both helping to roll the ball wherein 

 the object of their hope, love, and strong affection lies centred, preparatory to burying 

 it in some secure place.
