liundied and twenty. tSince the wliole of these were taken within a comparatively 

 small area they may be considered a fairly representative series for that particular 

 region, but obviously the members of the Expeditions did not devote any considerable 

 part of their energies to this Order, and the collections must not be taken as 

 indicating- in any degree what might be accomplished by diligent and systematic 

 research even in this region. Large and important groups, such as the Clavicornia, 

 Water-Beetles, Coprinse, Buprestidse, and Coccinellidie are almost or wholly un- 

 represented. Small as it is, however, the collection contains a considerable proportion 

 of hitherto-undescribed species and further illustrates the extreme richness of tlie 

 New Guinea insect-fauna. All the specimens were collected by Mr. A. F. R. 

 Wollaston, unless otherwise stated.
