1897. 



In this roport on tlie beetles observed in 1897, I have not 

 adopted tlie mode of arrangement followed in previous papers. 

 The species are liere grouped in the respective families to 

 which they belong, this being more in accordance with modern 

 ideas on the classification of these insects.
