anlemicT :u-o shorter and more tblckeued towards the apex, the 

 ])eiiultimate joints being distinctly more transverse ; the pubescence 

 on the elytra is rather more diffuse, but much longer and more 

 distinct. From S. pusillus, S. harnevUJei may be known by its colour 

 and maK-char;icters, and by the elytra being slightly broader, the 

 antennae shorter, and the pubescence much longer. 



In October Mr. Dorrien-Smith kindly allowed his head gardener 

 to send me a large sackful of rubbish from Tresco. This consisted 

 mostly of haystack and reed refuse which had few beetles in it, not 

 being quite of the right kind, but I found many more beetles in some 

 damp moss which I had specially asked for, and which I had noticed 

 growing on ^\alls and in damp places when I was on the island in 

 April. There is nothing very rare among these captures, but it is 

 interesting to have taken in this way such species as Anisotoma 

 calcarata, Er., and Orchestes aini, L., the latter being evidently one 

 of the species introduced with trees, as mentioned in my last note, and 

 not a true native. My object in getting the haystack refuse from 

 8t. Agnes, was to take some more specimens of Cryptophagus hirtulus, 

 Kr., but I only succeeded in finding one specimen. 



In the following list ot" Coleoptera, new to the Scilly Isles, those 

 recorded from Annet or 8t. Agnes were taken from those islands 

 alone ; all the others came from Tresco, but in some cases occurred in 

 Annet or kSt. Agnes as well.
