Hypoceplialus. J. L. Leconte, Tr. Am. Eiit. Soc. v. pp. 209-218i, hav- 
ing been able to study at leisure a good specimen of H. armatus, discpsses 
its structure at great length, and reviews all former opinions as to its 
affinities, without, however, mentioning its position in Lacordaire’s 
arrangement (which, for convenience, is mainly followed in this Record). 
He is driven to the ‘^fragment of a very old fauna” theory again (all 
reasonable relationships having been already indicated for it), and pro- 
poses a new and isolated family, Pypocephalidce, for its reception. 
Westwood’s opinion that it belonged to a series connecting Passandra, 
Catogenus, and Rhysodes with Calodromus and the Brenthido}, is stated to 
agree with the author's ideas. 
Acanthophorus hahniy Dohrn (? = longipennis, Hope), discussed in 
detail, especially as to its generic status compared with Tithoes and Dory- 
cera. A new genus is indicated, under the algebraic formula “ x ”, for 
its reception. C. A. Dohrn, S. E. Z. xxxvii. pp. 118-123.

Larvae, apparently of a species of UesperophaneSy so numerous in oaken 
planking of the upper rooms in a house at P^rigord, that the noise of 
their mandibles absolutely disturbed sleepers in the rooms below : all
