A specimen of a smaller species of the genus Lophotus was obtained 

 at Sandy Point. 



Three other species of Rhyucophorus beetles were collected at Sandy 

 Point, nine specimens of one, and one specimen of each of the two 

 others. As they have no other striking peculiarities they can not very

 difficult group.

Here is placed, with some doubt, a mutilated specimen collected at 

 Gregory Bay. Books of reference for this group of insects are not nu- 

 merous, many of the species beinj}' without descriptions, occurring only 

 in catalogues.
