iiig that I i-eaclied the locality rofcrrcd to above by proceeding 

 up" the Pauoa Valley to its upper extremity, where it came ujwn 

 something of the uatui-e of an area of tableland, one part of 

 which lying to one's right as one entered it from the Pauoa 

 Valley overlooks the ]\Ianoa Valley. From . somewhere in the 

 region just above the Manoa N^alley a narrow ridge runs up 

 from this flat by folowing which I made my way with much dif- 

 ticulty, and after several attempts, to the summit, called Kona- 

 huanui, just above the Pali. That sunmiit nuiy very likely be 

 easy to reach now, but in my time there was no distinct track, 

 and I got over some difficult places only with the help of ropes. 

 It was on the flat mentioned above and on the ridge leading up 

 towards Konahuanui that I was most successful in collecting 

 Oahuan Coleoptera — among other species: Labetis, Clytarlm 

 microgaster, and some Elateridae occurred to me there — Gonio- 

 rycti, etc., exceptionally numerous in lily-like plants high up on 

 the ridge. 



I see the Society does not keep a library. If it at any time 

 should do so I shall be glad to send in my papers on Australian 

 fauna as they come out, and meanwdiile shall be glad if I can 

 hear of any means by which I can serve the interests of the 

 Society, with the proviso, however, that as I have had now for 

 some years past scarcely any leisure time that I can give to 

 scientific work, it is difficult for me to do anything that cannot 

 be done in quite short time. 



Once more thanking the Society for the honour it has con- 

 ferred on me, I remain, dear sir. 



Yours sincerely, 



THOS. BLACKBURN.
