Cetoniadce, such as Goliaf/ni9 torqvatus ; the edges of the nasv4 are 

 niotnlHc. The head and thorax above are thickly and distinctly 

 j)or()so-j)unctate ; there is an indication of a yellowish-white dot near 

 each front antcle of the thorax (which dot may vary in size in other 

 specimens) ; the elytra have four dots passing into short transverse 

 streaks on each side, and a small spot near the suture, about the 

 middle, and a short white streak midway between the middle and the 

 spine; three dots between that and the spine, which is longer and 

 much more distinct than on the sides of elytra, transversely pitted in 

 manv shallow short waves ; general surface punctured, the punctures 

 chiefly in striic. Head small, slightly ridged on sides in front of eyes, 

 shghtly narrower in front, and rather deeply grooved behind front 

 margin. Under side and legs metallic green ; femora and mesothorax 

 acutlucted, the latter with two or three jiatches of Isabella i)ile ; abdo- 

 men irregularly punctured, smooth, with eight transverse patches of 

 Isabella pile on each side in double columns. Hairs on tibine rufous ; 

 fore edge of front tibife and tarsi of all the legs metallic green.

This is alluded to in Dr. Schaum's second list of Cetoniadce, and 

 is quoted mider the above name.

 require only to be mentioned when Coleoptera are described.

As I believe the members of the Society take some interest in 

 those birds which have passed a portion of their existence in the 

 Gardens, 1 am induced to place before them a Pigeon, which I have 

 every reason to suppose has remained hitherto undescribed. It be-

 {Columba erythroplera, Gm.), which has been placed in Dr. Reich-
