and some others with them, had buried themselves shallowly beneath the 

 sand, and many of the ground beetles were in hiding under loose boards, 

 etc., upon the sand. All were easily discoverable, however, and it is 

 probable that few had left the beach, for none were seen taking flight, and 

 few could be found under loose boards, except near the edge of the water. 

 Hence, I considered tlie opportunity still favourable for making an 

 estimate of the constituents of the drift. So I selected a representative 

 bit of it a few rods long, and collected and counted all the beetles I could 

 easily find in it, save only Lachnosterna fusca, which was innumerable. 

 The result of the count I list below :
