Tiiis portion contains descriptions of the Colcoptcra of tlie 
island of Bourbon as far as the Lamellicornia. The author, in a 
short preface (pp. 293-298), indicates the general characters of the 
island and its climate, and the changes which have taken place in 
its condition, especially by the destruction of the forests, since its 
discovery in 151 3. Nearly all the indigenous birds and the large 
Tortoises have disappeared. The Insect-fauna is poor, and par- 
takes of the characters of the faunas of India and Madagascar, 
although a few peculiar species occur. Of the Coleoptera, the 
Carabidco are small, but include some peculiar forms. TheStaphij- 
linidfB are neither numerous nor remarkable. Of the 
canidca some peeuliar forms occur ; the Lamellicorns are pretty 
well represented ; and the Curculionidca are numerous and in- 
teresting. The Eucnemidoi include a peculiar genus allied to the 
genus Fornax ; the Buprestidee and Elatcridx arc few in number. 
The Tenehrionidoi include one peculiar genus, llypocalis. Of tlic 
Longicorns there are several peculiar and remarkable species. 
Phytophaga and Coccinellidce are not abundant. No Pselaphida*f 
Paussida, or Cantharid(B occur. The author gives diagnoses of 
all the species, several of which seem to have been introduced. 
The numbers described in this paper are : — Cicindelidce 2, Ca~ 
rabidm 22 (11 new), Staphylinid (2 9 (6 neAv), Euenemidee 2 
(new), Lucanida* 3 (1 new), ^carabceido! 14 (2 new).

This memoir includes the results of what the author denomi- 
nates some 'investigations in legal zoology — namely, a descrip- 
tion of the microscopic characters of tlic dermal skeleton of tlic 
common Blister-fly (^Cantharis vesicatoria) , as compared with 
those presented by numerous species of green Beetles, which 
might be ground up and used for the adulteration of powdered 
Cantharidcs. The latter include CicAndela campesiriSj Bryj)ta 
emarginata, Lebia cyanoccphala, Carabus auratus, Calosoma sy~ 
copliantaj several species of Chloinius and Antliaxia^ 2 Agrili,
