one species from Mexico and five new species of the genus ('ampodea are 

 described; of these ('. krilogfji is from Mt. Lowe. Specimens were also 

 mentioned from San Francisco and Pacific Grove. 



In another article in the same publication the .same author publishes a 

 paper on the Campodeidu' of Europe, in which twelve new species are de- 

 scribed. There are also several other articles by the author in this number as 

 well as a number of papers by other writers.

A REPORT ON SOME RECENT COLLECTIONS OP FOSSIL COLEOP- 

 TERA FROM THE MIOCENE SHALES OF FLORISSANT 



H. F. WICKHAM 



Bul. Univ. loa. Vol. VI, No. 3, 1912. 



The remarkable preponderence of Rhynchophora noted earlier by Scudder 

 seems well sustained. This group was undoubtedly a dominant one during 

 Miocene times. The seed weevils had a strong representation during this time. 



The author was not able to find the afifinities with the Central American 

 fauna suspected by Scudder. The species studied were more closely related to 

 those in the United States. Bizarre structures of any description were conspicu- 

 ously lacking. There seems to be no well marked difference in the average size 

 of recent beetles of given genera when compared with their presumed relatives 

 of Miocene rocks. No really large family or series of families seems to be 

 entirely lacking. Small Coleoptera of all families are extremely few in 

 collections. 



There are seven plates of line cuts in the article.
