FOSSIL BEETLES FROM VERO, FLORIDA J 
bridge. Compared with a recent Iowa specimen of Copris anaglyp¬ 
tics Say, the fossil has narrower and sharper striae with deeper 
crenate punctures giving the sculpture a rougher appearance. The 
interstrial ridges in the fossil are barely visibly punctured (under a 
gx lens) while in the Iowa example this punctuation is very dis¬ 
tinct, though fine and sparse. However, in this latter feature the 
fossil is matched by a specimen of C. inemarginatus Blatchley, from 
Gainesville, Florida, kindly loaned me by Professor Watson, and 
the determination is made accordingly. 
Strategus antaeus Fabr. From stratum 3 comes a left hind tibia 
which is shorter and relatively stouter than that of recent speci¬ 
mens from Florida and Massachusetts. The fossil is also darker, 
subopaque, the upper ridge more sinuate and the surface between 
this and the second ridge much more strongly and deeply punctu¬ 
ate. Since a recent individual from Georgia approaches the fossil 
closely in ridge structure and punctuation, I do not like to propose 
a new name.
