DuEiNG my sojourn in the Transvaal I made every effort to form a collection of tliese interesting beetles ; but they abound more ill numbers tlian in species on the high and little-wooded veld around Pretoria and Johannesburg, and are there princi-])ally floral members of the family Cerambycidse. I'he warmer and better-wooded regions are more productive, as might be expected, but in the Transvaal 1 always found the capture of a Longicorn, beyond the usual predominant species, somewhat uncommon in collecting experience. Many species come to light, as does the fine Prosphilus sei-ricornis, which, as in many other known species, emits a loud squeaking noise on * The poly]i and corbula of AgJaophenia Helkri have not befoi-e been figured.
