pp. 255, pi. 
The result of six months’ collecting in St. Helena. 203 species are 
recorded, of which many are new; 57 are considered as certainly, and 17 
more as probably, inbroducod, 129 being strictly indigenous. There are 
no water-booties, and the Cnrmlionnlm largely predominate, the Cosmr- 
ufes being by far the most numerous group. Very peculiar Ihmhidia 
occur, with small eyes, and of tree-frequenting habits. 
Beetle perforations in fossil wood. C. Brongniart, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 
(5) vii. pp. 215-220, pi. vii. No. 2, describes and figures two specimens of 
fossil coniferous wood, from the carboniferous and cretaceous forma- 
tions, .showing marks of the larvae of beetles, which he thinks are either 
those of Ilylesinus or an allied genus. 
Fossil beetles. S. H. Scudder, Bull. U. S. Geol. Surv. iii. pp. 763 & 
764, describes as new Loricera glacialis and Loxandrm gelidus, from 
interglacial deposits of Scarborough Heights, near Toronto.
