Of the very few species of this family that were collected, the
most interesting is Philonthus varians, a wide-ranging beetle
found in England. For the identifications I am indebted to
Dr. D. Sharp, who has special knowledge of the family.

I have enumerated the following species under the names they
bear in the collection of the British Museum. Silpha pernix,
Burch., appears to he a'MS. name ; I have seen the type specimen,
but am quite unable to trace the description.

I found very few members of this family around Pretoria,
though I am informed that 213 species are already recorded
from South Africa. Though the habits of the Histeridse are
stercoraceous, I found several species under stones on the bare
veld during the dry season.
