Note. — Mr. Turner of Manchester, the possessor of a very fine 

 collection of the larger and more showy Coleoptera of West Africa, 

 and of many of the Beetles of other lands, showed me a specimen of 

 the (so-called) Goliathus giganteus, of which I once saw the example 

 in the Huaterian Museum at Glasgow, and which served to show that 

 the sharp and discriminating eye of the able and judicious Dr. Schaum, 

 who, with Dr. Burmeister, is one of the best authorities on the subject 

 of Cetoniadče, was probably right in regarding G. giganteus and 

 G. Drurii as mere local varieties of one species, to which the name 



Goliathus Africanus, Lamarck, may be given.
