THE AQUATIC COLEOPTERA OF THE 

 NORTH EBUDES. 



By FRANK BALFOUR-BROWNE, M.A. (OxoN.), F.R.S.E., F.Z.S. 



(Continued from p. 157.) 



The total number of species taken during the few days 

 in Skye was 43, such common species as C.incequalis and H. 

 pahistris only occurring once each in a total of 24 collections. 

 Although the list for Skye cannot be by any means 

 exhaustive, I am inclined to think that my Eigg list is more 

 nearly so, although it only contains 37 species, as I worked 

 practically the whole island, and visited, I believe, all the 

 different kinds of habitat there were. No doubt some species 

 could still be added to the list, especially if a visit were made 

 at some other time of year. For instance, such a northern 

 species as Ccelambus g-lineatus might be expected to occur in 

 Loch Beinn Tighe, which, by the way, produced absolutely 

 nothing after about half-an-hour's search. Along one edge 

 of the .loch were many fine patches of moss growing in 

 the water, but although I raked these in with the net and 

 examined them carefully no Beetles appeared. 



With regard to the elements comprising the fauna, I have 

 already referred to the northern or arctic species at some 

 length. The southern group is represented here, as in the 

 Mid-Ebudes, 1 by P. nigrocerieus and D. lejolisn, and, in 

 addition, by D. latus. Except for these species, and the two
