The Cetoniidae were universally condemned by M., being 
placed in the minus class without exception. The majority 
given were conspicuous, and they fly with a very loud 
noise. No. 153 was noticed to exude a drop of milky 
fluid when handled. No. 11 is somewhat synaposematic 
with the Lycidae.

General remarks on the LAMELLICORNIA. 
Broadly speaking, all the Lamellicorn beetles were

Remarks on the CicINDELIDAE. 
Seeing that the Cicindelidae met with were inoffensive, 
and several species seemed to mimic the offensive Carabidae, 
it is interesting that the monkey found the two species 
offered to him decidedly edible.
