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 Eoyal 

 and Imperial Natural History Museum. Of these, sixt_y 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 Polyhirma, 

 Arithia, and Tefflus ; the Strapliylinidce, by the new species Hasumius ; 

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

 Coprojyhagce and Cetonidce ; the BwprestidcE, by a series of Sternocerae, 

 new JidodcB Pfiloptera; ; the Tenebriojiidce, by new Zoiiliosis, Psam- 

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

 dicus and Dinoscelis Passerinii ; the Cantharidce, by the Cantharis 

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

 beetles by new species of the families Ceroplesis, Dicltostates, Sthenias, 

 Belodera, and NupserUa, and by the very curiously shaped Ampliistylus 

 Paidi, the Chrysomelidce, chiefly by new Sagne and Cassidce. 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.'

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

 Masailand, in the ' Jahrbucli der hamburgisehen wissenschaftlichen
