REVIEWS. Ill 



tured by Mr. Wollaston, in May, 1852, at Slapton Ley, Devonshire; and 

 as I have not been able to identify it with any recorded species, I have 

 named it after the captor." Stenolophus derelictus — " This apparently 

 unique insect was captured near London, probably at Plumstead, by Mr. 

 F. Smith, of the British Museum, who kindly gave it me. It was returned 

 to me from Paris as a species of Stenolophus unknown there." 



It is gratifying to find recorded so many incentives to increased activity 

 and diligence as this list affords ; and we may remark, that every newly-dis- 

 covered species is not only a valuable addition to our native Fauna, but a 

 fresh instance of the manifold and wonderful working of God, for whose 

 glory everything was created, and which never must be lost sight of in all 

 researches and discoveries of science. If we forget to glorify God in his 

 works, we fail to appreciate more than half their beauty and their real value. 



We cannot close these remarks without expressing the pleasure with 

 which we observe that Irish localities are assigned to not a few of the 

 species valuable for their rarity, or for being very local in their habitats — 

 a pleasure which we owe, in great measure, to the indefatigable and emi- 

 nently-successful researches of Mr. Haliday. We subjoin, in addition to 

 those already mentioned, a few examples, which may, perhaps, be inter- 

 resting : — 



Dyschirius ohscurus. Lough Neagh. Mr. Haliday. The only known 

 English specimen, was captured by a foreigner, and, consequently, is lost 

 to this country. 



Carabus arvensis. Local. Hills, near Belfast. Haliday. 



C. clathratus. Extremely rare in England. " Near Dublin" (St. Man.) 

 " Very abundant on the coast of Ireland" (Dawson). 



C. auratus. Lough Bray. 



Leistus raontanus. Croagh Patrick. Mangeston and Carran Tual. 



Nebria complanata. A single specimen, on Arklow sands. 



N. borealis. Lough Neagh, Killamey, &c. Also in Scotland ; but ap- 

 parently not found hitherto in England. 



Chlcenius holosericeus. "Extremely rare in this country — a single indi- 

 vidual was taken by Mr. Haliday, near Athy, in Ireland." 



Pterostichus aterrimus. Very local. Neighbourhood of Cork. 



P. gracilis. Rare. Captured by Mr. Haliday, near Belfast. 



Amara brunnea. Portmarnock. 



Bradycellus cognatus. " A single specimen, captured by Mr. Haliday, 

 on hills near Belfast." 



Bembidium bruxellense. Captured in Ireland, by Mr. Haliday. 



B.pallidipenne. Apparently very local. " Lough Neagh and Killamey."
