kinds, which like Bructeri, live among stones ; a 

 wingless kind which is found buried in the sea- 

 sand, and a perfectly black Campylus. 



Besides these, a beetle forming a peculiar species 

 between Atopa and Cyphon; Cantharis cembricola 

 Esch., and one resembling the testacea ; a Hykcoetus, 

 scarcely differing from dermestoides ; Catops ; a Hete- 

 rocerus, broad and covered with whitish scales ; an 

 ElopJionis ; two Phakrice with a black ground ; two 

 kinds 0^ Ste7iotrachelis,hoih larger than the European, 

 which has hitherto borne the name of Dryops aenea ; 

 and in fact, the beetle in Banks's Museum, so called 

 by Fabricius, is either the same, or a species very 

 nearly resembling it, and it may therefore be con- 

 jectured that some mistake has accidentally occurred 

 in the designation of its native country in that Mu- 

 seum. There still remain to be mentioned a Chry- 

 somela, like the pyritosa, and a Coccinella with five 

 very large spots upon both wing-covers, found on 

 the line of perpetual snow on the volcano. It is 

 also probable that the valley of the Kamschatka 

 river, although lying farther north than the environs 

 of the Awatscha, yet possesses aricher in sect Fauna, 

 as the climate there is much milder, and adapted to 

 agriculture. 



From Kamschatka our course lay mostly east-

 it one night happened, that while the ship was as
