By Eev. H. S. Goeham, F.Z.S., F.E.S. 



In the 'Proceedings' of the Zoological Society for 1889, 

 p. 96, some account of the Malacodermata, collected by Mr. A. 

 E. Pratt at Kiu-kiang, and by Mr. Leech in the Korea, will be 

 found. In continuation, I now give a complete list of the 

 Cassidse, Erotylidse, Endomychidse, and Coccinellidse of the same 

 collection. The latter is the only one of these groups in which 

 the number of specimens was at all extensive, and among them 

 are several new species of interest, besides very long series of 

 one or two very variable species.
