It is a part of a series of papers intended to make known the Coleopterous life of that region during the Miocene times and, including those characterized in a memoir now printing by the United States National Museum, brings up the number of beetles described from these shales to 377 species. Even now, the'subject is by no means exhausted since the material on hand, consisting largely of the unworked portions of the Scudder collections, includes about a thousand unidentified specimens, which will certainly furnish at least 200 novelties, possibly even more.
