6io FAMILY SCOLYTIDAE 



were ovipositing at the time of capture, the first beetles to appear in the 

 year laying the eggs of the first generation. The egg-tunnel is carried down 

 more or less straight into the wood of the tree, the eggs being laid at the 

 bottom of it. I took no larvae in the egg-tunnels, most of which appeared 

 to be yet incomplete. 



Undetermined Scolytid. 



Habitat. — Ataran River, Tenasserim. 



Tree kttSicked.-—Termiiialia belcrica. Natchoung, Ataran River. 



A minute scolytid was cut out of the sapwood of a large, felled, dead 

 Tnnninalia belcrica tree on 17 March 1905. I know nothing further about 

 its life history.
