168 Bulletin de la Société lìoyale Entomologiqiie iVEgypte 



Those parts of the paper which relate to habits of 

 species in Palestine arc by Buxton, and those relating 

 to systematics, synonymy, bibliography and general 

 geographical distribution are by Uvarov; some notes 

 on Blattidae have been supplied by Dr. Chopard and 

 they arc put in in inverted commas, with his name 

 after them. The specimens have been presented by the 

 Imperial Bureau of Entomology to the British Mu- 

 seum, except certain duplicates which are in the 

 Museum of Zoology, Cambridge University and the 

 Museum of the Department of Agriculture, Haifa, Pa- 

 lestine. Many common species are much more gener- 

 ally distributed in the country than the data here 

 given would suggest, but the specimens are at Haifa 

 and cannot at the moment be referred to. 



The country and climate, both of which are extre- 

 mely varied, have been recently described by Bux- 

 ton (Bulletin Entom. Besearch, 192/i, !n print) and 

 he there gives a map showing very nearly all the 

 localities mentioned in this paper. The Nahr ez Zerka 

 (Zerqa) to which we refer is the one which flows into 

 the Mediterranean near Casearca, not the river of the 

 same name in Transjordania. 



Species not previously recorded from Palestine 

 are marked with an asterirk; a special review of lite- 

 rature on the fauna is given at the end of this paper 

 by Uvarov.
