Since the appearance of the ‘ Coleoptera Atlantidum,’ 
a very important accession to our knowledge has been 
made, through the publication, by Mr. G. R. Crotch, of 
a list of the Coleoptera which were obtained by Mr. 
Godman at the Azores; and this catalogue, although far 
from extensive, is at any rate sufficient for a rough esti- 
mate of the general character of the beetle population of 
that hitherto uninvestigated archipelago,—and sufficient, 
too, I think, to affiliate the latter with the more southern 
Groups. Indeed, the existence of such types as Tarphius, 
Laparocerus, and Hegeter, even apart from the many 
other points of conspicuous contact which it is next to 
impossible to account for on any theory of accidental 
dissemination, are topographically so significant, that 
scarcely any additional evidence could be necessary in 
order to stamp the fauna as unmistakably “ Atlantic.” 
Yet, although superfluous to allude to them, species like 
Calosoma azoricum (which, while absent from Madeira, 
re-appears on the Canaries and Cape Verdes), the Phlao- 
phagus tenax (so characteristic of the laurel regions of 
Madeira), the Opatrum hispidum (which permeates nearly
