 By C. J. GrAHAN, M.A., and Gilbert J. Arrow. 



With the exception of three species of Ourculionidce and two or 

 three otlier species belonging to genera at persent undetermined, 

 all the species of Coleoptera of which examples were collected by 

 Mr. C. V. A. Peel in Somahland are enumerated in the following 

 list. Mr. Arrow has contributed that portion which deals with the 

 Lamellicorn beetles and has assisted also in the determination of 

 some of the species belonging to other groups. Mrs. M. K. Thomas 

 has been good enough to determine the species of Mijlahris and 

 to describe one new form belonging <o that genus. One or two 

 species have been described from African specimens other than 

 those collected by Mr. Peel. Full reference to the history of such 

 specimens will be found in the descriptions. [C. J. GtAHAN.]
