than half surrounded by high cliffs situated to the east of the 

 city of Meriden. The fauna of this locality differs consider- 

 ably from that surrounding my own home and almost always 

 supplies new names for the list with each visit, an abandoned 

 road through the hills to the north of this pond being one of 

 my favorite collecting places. 



Family CICINDEUDAE. 

 Cicindela hirticollis Say. Rare. Taken from June 7 to Aug. 6. 



Family CARABIDAE. 



Carabus limbatus Say. Rare. Taken in a trap made by sinking a 

 glass jar containing some molasses into the ground so that the 

 top was level with the ground. Dense woods were selected as 

 best for the trap and a specimen of C. limbatus was secured in it 

 on May 30. 



Calosoma willcoxi Lee. Rare. Taken with C. frigidum while 

 killing caterpillars. May 21-27. 



Calosoma frigidum Kirby. Not common. Taken from May 27- 

 June 12. All my specimens were captured while running along 

 the fence on the Oregon road where they were busy killing and 

 eating the caterpillars of Malacosoma americana. These worms 

 fairly swarmed along the fence and every now and then would be 

 seen an open spot where the Calosomas had broken their ranks and 

 left the dead and wounded on the field. 



Calosoma sycophanta T.inn. Rare. 1 specimen May 14. 



Scarites subterraneus Fab. Rare. 2 specimens on June 30 and 

 July 7. 



Schizogenius lineolatus Say. Very rare. Secured one on the 27th 

 of May. 



Bembidium contractum Say. Rare. Taken on July 9. 



Tachys nanus Gyll. Common. Sept. 19-20. 



Pterostichus adoxus Say. Not common. Taken under boards and 

 stones on May 15. 



Pterostichus sayi Brulle. Somewhat rare. Under boards from 

 May 1 to July 7. 



Pterostichus corvinus Dej. Several taken July 14 and 16. 



Pterostichus mutus Say. Quite rare. Taken from April to Sep- 

 tember. 



Amara exarata Dej. Seldom taken. Appears during August, Sep- 

 tember and October. 



Amara apricarius Payk. Not common. Taken September first. 



Dicaelus elongatus Bon. Rare. Occurs under damp boards and 

 leaves. May to October.
