 By C. J. G-ahan, M.A., and Gilbert J. Abrow. 



With the exception of three species of Curculionidce and- two or 

 three other species belonging to genera at persent undetermined, 

 all the species of Coleoptera of which examples were collected by 

 Mr. C. V. A. Peel in Somaliland are enumerated in the following 

 list. Mr. Arrow has contributed that portion which deals with the 

 Lamellicorn beetles and has assisted also in the determination of 

 some of the species belonging to other groups. Mrs. M. K. Thomas 

 has been good enough to determine tbe species of Mylabris and 

 to describe one new form belonging to that genus. One or two 

 species have been described from African specimens other than

 specimens will be found in the descriptions. [C. J. Gahan.]
