XXVII. Notice of a small collection of Coleoptera //'o/n 

 Jamaica, ivith descriptions of new species from 

 the West Indies. By Chas. O. Watekhouse. 



[Read September 4th, 1878.] 



The present paper has reference to a small collection of 

 Coleoptera from Jamaica, made in that island by Mr. 

 J. J. Bowrey, and recently exhibited at the Westminster 

 Aquarium. 



• The collection contained sixty-five species, some of 

 which are rare, and several new to science. The types of 

 the new species will be found in the British Museum 

 collection. There are, moreover, nine species, which, 

 although perhaps new, I have not ventured to describe, as 

 I am in doubt on this point.
