2 Mr. H, Scott on GoY\]o\)]\n\iQ from the 



Cncnjifl which seems closely allied to Sihann.i Jongi'roynU, 

 Grouvelle, a form known from Singapore. In addition to 

 Coleoptera, the tube contained some Lepidopterous larv*, a 

 spider {Scy lodes s^i.), and some Gammasid mites, all from the 

 same bird's-nest. I do not know of other recorded cases of 

 Corylopliidae being found in birds'-nests, hut I have myself 

 taken a specimen of Orthoperus from a blackbird's or tliru'^h's 

 nest of the preceding- year at Henley-on-Thames, 25.iii. 1910. 



(B) Seychelles Islands.— It was intetided ' that all* 

 results of the Percy Sladen Trust Expedition should appear 

 together in one publication, but circumstances have rendered 

 this impossible. Tiie work in question consists of certain 

 special volumes of Trans. Linn. Soc. London, five of which 

 are already complete (ser. 2, Zool., vols, xii.^xvi.), while a 

 sixth is in progress: these contain, inter alia, a xmrnhtY of 

 reports on insects. In the present paper much the same 

 plan IS followed as in my two previous articles on certain 

 groups of Seychelles Coleoptera iop. cit. vol. xv. p. 215 1912 • 

 vol.xvi. p. 193, 1913). i ' » 



No Corylophidie have been recorded from these islands 

 before. Those dealt with here amount to twelve species, ten 

 of which are described as new (see below, under ''determina- 

 tion of species''), while one is undetermined and one is 

 referred to a previously described species. They belong to 

 eight genera, one of which is described as new. The serips 

 may be briefly analyzed thus -.—Sacium, 4 spp. n. ; Arthru- 

 Ups, 1 sp. n., 1 sp. indet.; Meioderus, 1 sp. n. ; Sericoderns 

 {Anisomeris^s), 1 sp. n. ; Dauhania, g. n., 1 sp. n. ; Lew- 

 isium, 1 sp. n. ; Rhypohius^ 1 sp. n. ; Orthoperus] 1 sp. 

 (previously known). 



Distribution.— One species, Rhypohius aquiUnus, was found 

 only on a coralline island of the Amirantes Group. Tiie 

 other eleven were all taken by the writer in the mountainous 

 granitic islands of the Seychelles proper. Six of these were 

 found exclusively in the island of Silhouette, which was 

 visited only during the drier months of August and September • 

 one was only obtained in Long Island, a small cultivated 

 islet near Mah^, in July, also one of the drier months ; the 

 remaining four, including the new genus Daubania, were 

 taken m two or more of the larger islands, and in both 

 the drier and wetter seasons. 



Tvyo species are represented by single specimens, two 

 {Sencoderus and Leivisium) by big series of over 50 and of 

 nearly 200 respectively, the remainder by series of from 3 to 

 15 examples. They were all preserved dry. 



Seven kinds were obtained only at high elevations, in the
