Southern Pacific Ocean. 
Besides these species, I have very little doubt that the Phoca cas- 
pica of Nilsson, from the Caspian Sea, the Leo marinus of Steller, 
from Behring’s Straits, and Pagomys nummularis, from Japan, are 
distinct. Iam not aware that the Leo. marinus of Steller exists in 
any museum; the specimen we received from the St. Petersburg 
Academy under that name is the Callorhinus ursinus of the ‘ Pro- 
ceedings of the Zoological Society’ for 1859. 
6. Notice or A New Species or Gouiatuus. By G. R. Gray. 
(Plate V.) 
Dr. Kirk has, on his return from the Zambesi, added to our 
knowledge a species of the genus Goliathus, which he obtained as 
long ago as November 1858, when he picked it up among the hills 
of Kebrabassa, which is situated about forty miles beyond the Por- 
tuguese town of Tete. As it appears to be new, I have ventured to 
lay a description of it before the Society under the name of Golia- 
thus kirkianus. 
¢. Castaneous black, with the upper part of head, the seven nar- 
row longitudinal lines on the thorax, the base, and outer edges of 
the elytra broadly margined, also with a series of narrow irregular 
transverse lines on their centres of a pearly white. The bifurcated 
horn in front of the head, all beneath the body, and legs deep casta- 
neous; the four hind legs fringed inwardly with pale rufous hairs. 
Scutellum of a long-triangular form, castaneous black, with a short 
narrow longitudinal line in the centre of a pearly white. 
Of the known species it approaches most nearly to the Goliathus 
fornassinii, from which, however, it differs in the form of the head 
and thorax: the former is longer, with the bifurcated horn in front 
shorter, while each fork of it is broader, with the apex of each 
broadly truncated ; the latter is less rounded, with the sides suban- 
gulated in the centre, thus differing from the figure of the head of 
the male given in the ‘Ann. Soc. Ent. de Fr.’ iv. pl. 7. f. la.
