SCOPiEUS. 
S. ritficollis, Fvl. 1 (1), Palm Creek. M. Fauvel has not described S. mjicollts^ 
but has merely named it and mentioned some characters distinguishing it from a 
European Scopmis {^Erichsoni, Kolen), of which I do not possess a type. Never¬ 
theless I judge from the description of S. Erichsoni that this is very likely to be the 
insect to which M. Fauvel gave his name. 
S. ovicollis. Mad. 1 (1). The example to which I give this name conjecturally 
is in bad condition. It is, I think, distinct from the preceding, and as far as I 
can judge seems to agree with my type of S. ovicoUis. I have unfortunately lost 
the record of the exact locality where it was taken. 
N.B.—There is also in the collection an example from Adminga Creek, of 
apparently a very small Bledius, which, as is usually the case with minute 
StaphylinidcB that are not mounted while fresh, is too much distorted to be satis¬ 
factorily examined.

N. sp.—1 (2), Palm Creek, Glen Edith. The specimens here referred to are
