° The correctness of this locality appears from the following entry, which I 

 find in Mr. Drury's own Manuscript Catalogue of his Collection : — " Lucanus. 

 30. Bubalus, Swed. MSS. Georgia. Mr. Abbot. 1785." 



•i The descriptions and figures of the head and mandibles clearly show that, 

 by some accident, the head had been turned upside down, its gibbous under-side 

 being described as the upper side, and tlie curved- upward branch of the mandi- 

 bles being described as deflexed.
