Pl. vu, Fig. 8. 
Body short ovate, much less than twice as long as broad. Head small, 
the sculpturing obscure; eyes moderately large, circular; beak slender, con- 
siderably arcuate, slightly longer than head and thorax together, perhaps 
striate. Prothorax nearly twice as high as long, rapidly tapering from the 
base, with little fullness, coarsely punctate. Elytra striate, perhaps punc- 
tato-striate, with feeble punctuation in the interspaces. Tibize more or less 
arcuate. 
Length, excluding rostrum, 2°5""; rostrum, 0°9"™"; height of body, 1°5™™.

PE xs, Pig12? 
Body compact and stout, the head small and apparently smooth ; the 
eye small, oval, transverse; rostrum slender and gently arcuate, but broken 
in the only specimen seen, so that its length can not be determined. Pro- 
thorax nearly one-half higher than long, without postacular lobes, tapering 
with considerable fullness, the surface coarsely but very feebly punctate. 
Elytra much broader at base than the thorax, with apparently impunctate 
or very feebly punctate striz, the interspaces very broadly rounded, and 
with feeble and very delicate punctuation. 
Length, excluding rostrum, 3™"; width of base of thorax, 1:2; of 
elytra, 1°75™™. 
Roan mountains, western Colorado, from the richest beds at crest of 
bluff overlooking head of East Salt creek. One specimen, No. 950, U.S.

Tertiaries. In Europe there have been recognized only two species of 
Baris, one (undescribed) at Aix, the other at Brunstatt; while in America 
we have no less than four genera and eleven species, making this one of
