  205 
  

  

  specimens, 
  one 
  of 
  which 
  (Gory's 
  type) 
  " 
  etait 
  indique 
  comnie 
  

   venant 
  des 
  Indes 
  orient 
  ales," 
  the 
  other 
  coming 
  from 
  

   Malacca, 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  there 
  are 
  examples 
  from 
  Malacca, 
  

   Singapore, 
  Penang, 
  Tringanu, 
  Pulo 
  Aor 
  (wherever 
  that 
  

   may 
  be), 
  and 
  the 
  N.E. 
  coast 
  of 
  Sumatra. 
  If 
  Gray 
  had 
  

   no 
  better 
  indication 
  of 
  origin 
  than 
  the 
  label 
  on 
  the 
  type 
  

   specimen, 
  I 
  do 
  not 
  laiow 
  how 
  he 
  squeezed 
  " 
  India 
  " 
  out 
  of 
  

   it. 
  Gory 
  possibly 
  misread 
  " 
  Malacca 
  " 
  for 
  " 
  Malabar." 
  

   At 
  all 
  events 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  no 
  examples 
  from 
  India, 
  and 
  I 
  

   regard 
  the 
  species 
  as 
  a 
  Malay 
  one.

  Saunders. 
  

  

  Catascopus 
  wallacei 
  (Trans. 
  Ent. 
  Soc. 
  1863, 
  462, 
  t. 
  17, 
  

   f. 
  4). 
  There 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  Hope 
  Collection 
  a 
  damaged 
  specimen 
  

   of 
  this 
  species, 
  without 
  a 
  head, 
  claiming 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  type. 
  

   It 
  seems 
  unhkely 
  that 
  one 
  solitary 
  type 
  should 
  have 
  been 
  

   detached 
  from 
  all 
  the 
  others 
  described 
  by 
  Saunders 
  in 
  his 
  

   paper. 
  Mr. 
  0. 
  E. 
  Janson 
  tells 
  me 
  that 
  the 
  Saunders 
  

   Collection 
  of 
  Carabidae 
  was 
  sold 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Edwin 
  Brown, 
  

   and 
  that 
  on 
  his 
  death 
  it 
  was 
  resold 
  and 
  probably 
  went 
  

   abroad. 
  The 
  species 
  comes 
  from 
  Waigiou. 
  

  

  PUTZEYS, 
  

  

  There 
  are 
  four 
  types 
  of 
  Clivina, 
  all 
  described 
  by 
  Putzeys 
  

   in 
  his 
  " 
  Monographic 
  des 
  Clivina 
  et 
  genres 
  voisins 
  " 
  (Mem. 
  

   Liege, 
  ii, 
  1846). 
  The 
  original 
  descriptions 
  are 
  long 
  and 
  

   detailed, 
  and 
  no 
  redescription 
  appears 
  necessary, 
  though 
  

   I 
  give 
  a 
  few 
  notes. 
  

  

  1. 
  Clivina 
  assamensis 
  (Mon. 
  584 
  (66) 
  ). 
  I 
  cannot 
  find 
  

   any 
  mention 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  since 
  the 
  description 
  was 
  

   pubhshed. 
  Putzeys' 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  head 
  does 
  not 
  seem 
  

   to 
  me 
  quite 
  accurate, 
  and 
  the 
  mentum 
  — 
  a 
  very 
  curious 
  

   organ 
  — 
  -is 
  hardly 
  mentioned. 
  

  

  The 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  mentum 
  are 
  nearly 
  parallel, 
  lobes 
  obliquely 
  

   truncate 
  in 
  front, 
  epilobes 
  projecting 
  very 
  slightly 
  in 
  front, 
  general 
  

   surface 
  shagreened, 
  surface 
  of 
  lobes 
  slightlv 
  striate, 
  middle 
  of 
  basal 
  

   area 
  raised 
  and 
  longitudinally 
  furrowed, 
  tooth 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  a 
  cup, 
  

   the 
  concave 
  area 
  directed 
  forwards, 
  the 
  upper 
  margin 
  projecting 
  

   beyond 
  the 
  lower 
  and 
  a 
  Little 
  emarginate, 
  the 
  lower 
  margin 
  forming 
  

   a 
  small 
  rounded 
  knob 
  projecting 
  downwards. 
  

  

  Head 
  with 
  a 
  curved 
  ridge 
  in 
  front, 
  convex 
  part 
  directed 
  forwards, 
  

   as 
  in 
  C. 
  indica, 
  a 
  little 
  behind 
  and 
  parallel 
  with 
  this 
  a 
  slight 
  curved
