Mr. K. G. Buarr, B.Se., read his report on the Heteromerous 
Coleoptera collected by the British Ornithologists’ Union and the 
Wollaston Expeditions in Dutch New Guinea. 
The most interesting feature of the collection, from the point 
of view of distribution, is the occurrence of Cissites maxillosa Fab. 
in this region. This Beetle has been hitherto regarded as peculiar 
to the Oriental Region, its range extending from Assam to Java, 
Borneo, and the Philippine Islands; it has also been found in 
Ceylon. 
The three species of Amarygmus belong to a section of the 
genus that makes New Guinea its headquarters ; a few species of 
this section are found in the extreme north of Australia, but the 
majority of the Australian species belong to other groups. 
Of the fourteen species noted, the following seven are described 
as new :—
