Among the beetles which have as yet been met with nowhere else, and are therefore considered peculiar to the country, may be named: a Cicindela, between hybrida and maritima; a Carabus of the form of the cancellatus Illig., with black feelers and legs; C. Clerkii N., and another, green, with gold border, of the form of the catenulatus, caught near the line of perpetual snow on the volcano Awatscha: C. Hoffmanni N., Nebria nitidula, which is the same as the Carabus nitidulus Fabr., as appears by that preserved in Banks's Museum, hitherto the only specimen in Europe; great numbers of these are found in the valleys: a second black sort was caught on the volcano.
