high elevation in the laurel- districts of Gomera, during their late 

 Canarian campaign. It appears to be extremely rare, and (like the 

 B. rutilans of Teneriffe) to occur in wet places.

 Broscus glaber, WolL, Cat. Can. Col. 26 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Can.), sub lapidibus in coUibus aridis, praeser- 

 tim calcareis, sat rams. 



The only island in which I have observed this Broscus is Grand 

 Canary, Avhcre (during March 1858) I took it beneath stones on the 

 dry calcareous hills above Las Palmas.

Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), in montibus excelsis usque ad 7000' s. m. 

 ascend ens. 



Likewise peculiar to the Canarian Group, but detected hitherto 

 only in Teneriffe where it occurs at very lofty altitudes, principally 

 about wet rocks. In such situations I obtained it, rather abundantly, 

 on the mountain -ridges above the Agua Mansa (at an elevation of 

 at least 7000 feet).

Habitat Canarienses (Lanz.), in salmis juxta oram maritim-am parum 

 vulgaris. 



Common (in saline places) in Lanzarote, of the Canarian Group, 

 but it has not yet been detected in any of the other islands ; though 

 we may expect to find it in Fuerteventura, and perhaps also in Grand 

 Canary. It is not peculiar, however, to the Canaries, having been 

 taken by myself and the Messrs. Crotch on the opposite coast of 

 Africa.
