specimens described by these entomologists were most probably
collected by travellers touching only at certain points on the coast.

Descriptions of some Singular Coleopterous Insects by Charles Schreibers,
M.D., Deputy Professor of Natural History in the University of Vienna.
Lucanus aeneus (Lamprima Latr.) Scarabaeus proboscideus (Elephastomus
Macleay). Cetonia philipsii (Schizorhina Kirby) Silpha lachrymosa

Dejean) Cerambix giraffa (Gnoma) Cer. fichtelii (Enicodes G.R. Gray)
Scarites schroetteri (Hyperion Lap.) all new, and a singular Brasilian
genus, Scarabaeus dytiscoides (near Anamnesis Vigors and supposed to be
the Eucranium arachnoides Dejean Cat. page 150 ed 1837) are all admirably
described and figured here.)

Description of Notoclea, a new genus of Coleopterous Insects from New
Holland by Thomas Marsham, Esquire. Tr. L.S. This contains 20 species,
some of which however had been previously described by Olivier under
Paropsis, the appellation now universally applied to this "convex-backed"
genus. The Reverend William Kirby in a note added the more latent
characters.)

As New Holland became colonized and settlements increased Entomology was
not altogether neglected, for we find a resident, John W. Lewin, A.L.S.,
of Paramatta, New South Wales, in 1805, publishing an elegant and curious
quarto volume of plates in which he describes many species of crepuscular
and nocturnal Lepidoptera, in most cases figuring the insects in all
their stages; it is highly to be regretted that this interesting work was
not continued, and it is to be feared that want of encouragement alone
prevented the industrious and acute author from persevering in the design
of his work, which the title he gave it* shows he intended to have made
of a general nature on the subject. The accounts of the habits of
Cryptophasa and Agarista are peculiarly interesting, and it is much to be
wished that some of the many entomologists now in New Holland and the
islands of the Pacific Ocean would publish similar notes (however short)
on the habits, etc., of the insects they may find.
