 Orchardton, Lennon and Douglas. 



[B/edius tricornis, Hbst. Solway, Dumfries, not at all plentiful, 

 Kelton Salt Marsh, Lennon (2).] Dr Sharp considers that this 

 record refers to B. spectabilis, Kr. B. tricornis is not included 

 in Lennon's MS. List of the Coleoptera of Mid Solway. It 

 therefore seems advisable to treat the record as doubtful until it 

 is further confirmed. 



B. arenarius, Payk., var. minor, Muls et Rey (var. fergussoni, Joy). 



1 Donisthorpe, Ent. Rec, xxiii. 310, has the following note: " Xantholinus 

 tricolor (?). Dr Nicholson and I each took a specimen of a form with a dark mark 

 on the thorax, which Dr Sharp considers is a new species related to tricolor^!* Tp^ip^ 

 This capture was made at Nethy Bridge. /C\j^ -^- L /
