During the summer of 1896 I received specimens of ants collected by Mr. R. J. Crew, of Toronto, in exchange for such Coleoptera as I could find for him in my locality. He writes me that he noticed no insects with the ants other than the Coleopteta and some aphids in a nest of ants, but did not capture any.I have found, however, upon looking them over, they contain several very interesting species of various orders: some truly myrmecophilous, some occasional, while others were brought into the nests by the ants, to be used by them for food; this will apply to a number of Hemiptera collected by Formica subsericea, Say.

The paper presents data on 248 lichen species from the Bauntovsky District of the Republic of Buryatia, of them 233 are new to the district. Alectoria sarmentosa subsp. vexillifera new to East Siberia, and 6 species new to the Republic of Buryatia — Arthonia didyma, Aspicilia aquatica, Immersaria athroocarpa, Ionaspis lacustris, Ramboldia elabens, and Parmelia asiatica. Very interesting species is an aquatic lichen Collema ramenskii recorded in mountain lakes.

The author stated that it would be difficult to estimate the value of any chemical or mechanical process whereby timber might be rendered permanently impervious to the ravages of the Limnoria terebrans, that small but sure destroyer of timber structures exposed to the action of the sea.The ravages of that crustacean were first observed in 1810 by Mr Robert Stevenson, the engineer of the Bell Rock Lighthouse, in the timber supports of the temporary beacon used by him in the erection of that work. Having forwarded specimens of the insect, and of the timber it had destroyed, to Dr Leach, the eminent Naturalist of the British Museum, Dr Leach, in 1811, announced it as a “new and highly interesting species which had been sent to him by his friend Robert Stevenson, civil engineer,” and assigned to it the name of Limnoria terebrans (Linnean Trans., vol. xi. p. 370, and Edinburgh Encyclopædia, vol. vii. p. 433).

The recent gift to the Museum of a fine series of Lower Palæozoic fossils from the Haverfordwest area by Mr. V. M. Turnbull, M.A., who has personally collected them with much care, has at length provided us with the means of determining many of the interesting species which were mentioned without specific names (on account of their imperfect preservation) by Messrs. Marr and Roberts in their paper on this district. The collections from which their lists were drawn up are in the Sedgwick Museum.

“This is a rare and interesting species of Clavagella, now inhabiting the shores of Naples, presented by Sir Thomas Brisbane.‘When that part of Lamarck's work on Invertebrata, which contained the class Conchiferœ, appeared in 1818, among the order Tubicolœ;, he introduced the genus Clavagella, of which he describes four species only, and they are all fossil. Even at the conclusion of his great work, in 1822, he appears not to have known any living species.

This work includes taxonomic and faunistic data on galumnid mites (Oribatida, Galumnidae) belonging to the genera Galumna and Pergalumna collected from the Montagne d'Ambre National Park, North Madagascar. Two new species are described: Galumna sandormahunkai n. sp. differs from its closest species, Galumna sphagni by the larger body size, the presence of strongly protruding rostrum, lanceolate, pointed apically bothridial setae, the direction of lamellar lines, and the absence of median pore; Pergalumna janosbaloghi n. sp. differs from the most similar species, Pergalumna aegra, by the smaller body size and the presence of long lamellar setae and elongate, distinctly or slightly triangular porose areas Aa. Galumna granalata and Pergalumna amamiensis are recorded in the Ethiopian region for the first time; Pergalumna conspicua and P. frater are recorded in Madagascar for the first time.

Interesting Species

In the subfossil, elevated coral reefs which form the Islas del Rosario, southwest of Cartagena (Colombia), 51 species of Gastropoda and 22 species of Pelecypoda were collected, all of them belonging to the recent Caribbean fauna. Even fragile shells could be obtained completely intact, which indicates the little age of these cliffs, as it has been estimated by two authors less than 10 000 years. An interesting species secured is Conus granulatus.
