Many species (including two described as new) are added to the Fauna 
of Tirol, with observations on localities, &c. See also Z. Ferd. (3) xix.

Of purely local interest. Not even the number of species is given, so 
that any generalization is impossible. 
Horn, G. H. Notes on the Coleopterous fauna of Guadalupe Island. 
Tr. Am. Ent. Soc. v. pp. 198-201. 
This island lies 100 miles west of the peninsula of Lower California, 
in the Pacific Ocean. 23 species are recorded (4 new, and 1 new genus), 
found by Dr. E. Palmer. The fauna is essentially Upper Californian. 
. Notes on some Coleopterous remains from the bone cave at Port 
Kennedy, Penna. Tom. cit. pp. 241-245. 
These were contained in masses of clay in caves of which the mamma- 
lian remains belong to the Post pliocene period, strongly connected with 
the present geological epoch, and suggestions are made as to the beetles 
being ancestors of now existing species. Cychras wheatleyi, p. 242, 
C. (minor), Pterostichus, 2 spp. & Cymindis aurora, p. 243, Chlcenius 
punctulatus, Diccdus alutaceus and another sp., & Chocridium ? ebeninum, 
p. 244, Phanmus antiqmis & Aphodius precursor, p. 245, are described as 
new, from various fragments and impressions. 
. Synoptic tables of some genera of Coleoptera, with notes and 
synonymy. Tom. cit. pp. 246-252. 
Some of these are by the late G. R. Crotch, and are so indicated. The 
genera discussed are Elaphrus, Notiophilus, Blethisa, Carahus, Perigona, 
Patrohus, Pogonus, Hydrocliaris, Berosus, and Tropidosternus, with obser- 
vations on isolated species of a few others. It is impossible, without 
reproducing it, to give any useful idea of this paper.
