I have also seen specimens from Carin Cheba, 3000-3500 and 4000-5000 ft., in 

 the collection of the Deutsches Entomologisches Museum. 



Description. — Length 29'5-33"5 mm. Differs from M. sikkimensis , s. str., only in 

 having the mesosternal scars coarsely punctured partially or throughout. No trace of 

 these punctures has been found in any Himalayan specimen with the exception of 

 one from Kobo (regd. no. -lir-) in which, although scarcely perceptible on one 

 side, they are few but distinct on the other. This specimen may be regarded as transi- 

 tional between the typical Himalayan form, and the form from the Dawna Hills which 

 differs therefrom somewhat less markedly than does that from Tavoy. Probably, 

 therefore, the change from the typical Himalayan form to the Tavoy form is a gradual 

 one and numbers of transitional forms may be expected to occur in the hills of 

 north Burma. 



Macrolinus crenatipennis, Kuwert. 



Described from two specimens from Ceylon (one of them evidently the type, as 

 it bears Kuwert' s label), both in the collection of the Königliches Entomologisches 

 Museum in Berlin. 



Description. — Length 21-5 mm.' Differs from M. rotundifrons only in its smaller 

 size, and in the extremely coarse puncturing of all the grooves of the elytra , the 

 dorsal grooves of M. crenatipennis being as coarsely punctured as the lateral ones of 

 M . rotundifrons.

 1^ Ceylon F. H. Gravely. 



Mr. Green's collection includes also specimens from Galagedara, Central Province, 

 Ceylon. 



Description. — Eength 25-31 mm. Differs from M. sikkimensis in the following 

 respects only. Median part of mentum unpunctured ; parietal ridges of head extend- 

 ing straight outwards or slightly forwards, still more distinctly connected with 

 central tubercle; ridge between inner tubercles strongly convex, its middle part 

 sometimes almost confluent with ridge between outer tubercles. Pronotum with 

 strongly marked median groove; punctures along marginal grooves at sides confined 

 to grooves themselves, although the other punctures are arranged as in T. sikkimensis.
