the (so-called) GoUathus (jigautens, of which I once saw the example 

 in the Ilimtcriaii Museum at Glasgow, and which served to show that 

 the sharp and discriniinatinp: eye of the ahle and judicious Dr. Schaum, 

 who, with Ur. Burmeister, is one of the hest authorities on the suhject 

 of Cftoniadce, was prohably right in regarding G. yufanteus and 

 (r. Drurii as mere local varieties of one species, to which the name 

 GoLiATHUS Africanus, Lauiarck, may be given.

Named after Dr. Joseph Hooker, F.R.S., &c. Src, author of many 

 noble botanical works, and of the ' Himalayan Journal.' During 

 his travels in India he found this and many other fine species of 

 insects now in the Museum Collection. We have now all the species 

 of this interesting group except T. Delessertii, Guerin-Meneville.

Clinteria ducalis. 



This insect, of which the name only appears in the Museum List 

 of Cetoniadre, p. 1."j, published in 184", is regarded by Dr. Schaum 

 as a variety of the very variable Clinteria atra. The present variety 

 is of a dull olive-green, and has a patch of golden-yellow about the 

 middle of each elytron. The under side is purplish-brown, and the 

 sides have two rows of small white spots. The head and legs are 

 purplish. 



It is a native of Silhet, and notwithstanding the great authority of 

 Dr. Schaum, I cannot helj), even now, regarding it as distinct from 

 C. atra, "NVied., of which C.funeraria and C. biyuttata of Gory and 

 Percheron are varieties. 



Clinteria Hoffmeisteri. 



This very beautiful and distinct species was described in the 

 'Annals and Mag. of Nat. History,' vol. xx. p. .341.
