species are recorded/ have only a single representative in the 
Madeiras. Of abundant Canarian genera v^anting in Madeira 
'the author cites Nebria, Carahus, Silpha, Hispa, ZophosiSj Ten- 
tyria, Pimelia, Cossyphus, and Ocyphm, A few blind species 
have been met with^ and some of these are inhabitants of ants’ 
nests. 
In the concluding sections of his introduction Wollaston re- 
marks upon the groups of Beetles found in particular situa- 
tions, such as the sand-infesting species, and those affecting 
particular sets of plants, such as the Euphorbias, Pines, and 
Retamas.” In these and in the general considerations ” we 
find many valuable observations. In the Index topographi- 
cus,” which only indicates the distribution of the species in the 
three primary groups of islands, the author has marked those 
species which he thinks may be derivative forms by appending 
to their names an arrow with the name of the species from 
which they may be supposed to be derived. The species which 
have not been found elsewhere^ and those which the author 
regards as strictly endemic, ar^e also indicated by typographical 
marks.
