This paper forms the second part of that read before the 

 Society last year. It deals with the species of the subfamilies 

 Halticinm and Galerucince of different parts of Africa, so far as 

 I have been able to determine them at present. Most of the 

 material was received from Mr. Guy Marshall, the indefatigable 

 collector in Mashonaland, to whose labour we are indebted for so 

 many novelties. In a future Supplement I hope to deal with the 

 rest of the species received since.
