It was found in the same place, and bears characteristics that 



would mark it as an "early stage. It is 5.5 in. m. long, 2.5 m.m. 



wide, segments 1 m.m. wide. It is light brown in color, with a 



darker shade along the median sulcus. The species is very close 



to the living form.

COLEOPTERA. 

 Platynus conf. funebris LeConte. 



Specimen No. 10010, Univ. Calif. Col. Invert. Palae. Asphalt beds at 

 Rosemary, near Los Angeles. 



A single elytron is present in the collection, and is probably 

 referable to the common species, P. funebris Lee. This genus 

 is well represented on the West Coast at the present time by 

 common and closely allied species. 



Amara insignis Dej. 



PI. 16, fig. 17. 



Specimen No. 10011, Univ. Calif. Col. Invert. Palae. Asphalt beds at 

 Rosemary, near Los Angeles. 



There are two well preserved and perfect elytra in the collec- 

 tion, agreeing exactly with living forms; belonging to a group, 

 well represented, and common in California. 



Pterostichus, sp. indet. 



Specimen No. 10012, Univ. Calif. Col. Invert. Palae. Asphalt beds at 

 Rosemary, near Los Angeles. 



There are several elytra of this common but difficult genus, 

 which are hardly determinable with our present knowledge. 



Calosoma semieaeve LeConte. 

 PI. 16, fig. 26. 



Specimen No. 10013, Univ. Calif. Col. Invert. Palae. Asphalt beds at 

 Rosemary, near Los Angeles. 



A beautifully preserved elytron of this characteristic and 

 common Californian species enables us to leave no doubt as to the 

 determination of this species.
