CARABID^F. 



\Carabus cancellatus, 111. Shetland, Shetlands, Shetland, Nilis. 

 This species is also recorded from Cairnsmore-of-Fleet, Kirk- 

 cudbright, by Lennon (Trans. D. and G. N. H. S., iii. (N. S.), 

 65). As the author's name is not given in either of the above 

 records, it is possible that the insect meant to be referred to 

 was the common C. gramtlatus, L.] 



C. monilis, F. Clyde, Renfrew, one specimen near Paisley, 

 Fergusson (4) ; [Clyde Jslands, Arran, several specimens, 

 Billups.] 



Notiophilus blacki (Sharp, M. S.). 1 Tweed, Peebles, two examples 

 at Peebles; Sutherlaiidshire, one, Black (5). 



N. aquatiais, L., var. strigifrons, Baudi. 2 Dee, S. Aberdeen, 



1 One of the Peebles specimens was returned to Mr Black by Herr Reitter as 

 bigeminus, Th.fusillus, Wat., var. ; but Edwards (E. M. M., xlix., p. 72) states 

 that this is evidently an error, because the insect has one and not two umbilicate 

 punctures near the apex of the elytra, Edwards also considers it is doubtful 

 whether blacki is to be regarded as a distinct species or as a mountain form of A'. 

 aquaticus, L. 



2 Edwards {loc. cit.) appears to treat this as a distinct species, and not as a 

 variety of either aquaticus or pusillus.
