Lieutenant von Hohnel has brought back with him from Count 

 Teleki's expedition more than a thousand specimens of Coleoptera, 

 comprising 247 species, and has presented them to the Vienna Koyal 

 and Imperial Natural History Museum. Of these, sixty species, almost 

 a fourth of the number collected, are new to science. The especially 

 noteworthy forms that are represented are the sand-beetles, by 

 Myrmecoptera nohilitata ; the ground-beetles, by a few Poli/hirma, 

 Anthia, and Tefflus ; the StraphijUnidce, by the new species Hasumius ; 

 the Lucanidce, by a new Nigidius ; the Laniellicoriiice, by interesting 

 Co2)ropliag(E and Cetonidce ; the Buprestidce, by a series of Sfernocerc?, 

 new Jidodce PfiloptercE ; the Tenehrionid<^, by new Zophosis^ Psam- 

 modes, Vieta, very interesting Sepidice, and also by Anomalipus heral- 

 dicus and Dinoscelis Passcrinii; the Cantharuhe, by the CantJiaris 

 Telekii, remarkable for the formation of the antennae ; the Capricorn 

 beetles by new species of the families Ceroplesis, Dichostates, StheniaSy 

 Belodera, and Nupscrlia, and by the very curiously shaped Amphistijlus 

 Paidi, the CJirysomelidcE, chiefly by new Sagr(e and Cassidxe. Their 

 determination was conducted by Leon Eairmaire, of Paris, and L. 

 Ganglbauer, of Vienna. All the new species have been described by 

 Eairmaire in the * Comptes-rendus de la Societe Entomologique de 

 Belgique, seance du 6 Juin, 1891.' 



In the following lists the abbreviations * Gerst. C. v. d. Deck.' and 

 * Gerst. Masai-Coll.' refer to Professor Gerstaecker's arrangement of 

 vertebrate animals in ' Baron Claus von der Decken's Eeisen in Ost 

 Afrika,' vol. iii. part 2, and to Gerstaecker's work on the determination 

 of the Coleoptera collected by Dr. G. A. Fisher during his journey in 

 Masailand, in the * Jahrbuch der hamburgischen wissenschaftlichen 

 Anstalten,' i. 1884, pp. 41-63. To each species the name of the deter- 

 minator is given, the habitat, indicated by Lieut, v. Hohnel's chief
