IV. Recent Additions to the Coleopterous Fauna of Mid Lothian. 
(Specimens exhibited.) By W. R. M'Nab, Esq. 
Through the kindness of my friend Mr David Sharp, I 
am enabled this evening to lay before the Society a list of 
103 species of Coleoptera new to the Edinburgh fauna. 
They have been mostly taken by Mr Sharp, and the names 
are on his authority. In some few instances I have also 
taken the insect myself, and shall therefore add the locality 
where I have taken the beetle to those supplied to me by 
Mr Sharp. 
Mr Murray's Catalogue has been taken as the guide, and 
the species in this list are either not in Mr Murray's 
catalogue, or else not mentioned by him as having been 
taken in the Edinburgh district. 
The majority of Coleoptera included in this list are 
Brachelytra (65 species), which are proportionately more 
largely represented in Scotland than any of the other 
sections.
