IV. THE COI.EOPTERA OF RATHEIN ISEAND. 



BY T- RAY HARDY. 



During our visit to Ballycastle in May last, I devoted myself 

 more particularly to the Coleoptera of the district, and obtained 

 a considerable number of species, the time of year being 

 especially favourable for their collection. The opportunity 

 aflforded of visiting Rathlin Island gave us peculiar satis- 

 faction, each having felt a strong desire to search this isolated 

 spot, where w^e were unable to land on our previous visit to 

 Ballycastle in September, 1896. After landing on the Island, 

 careful search was made by the whole of the party in likely 

 situations, with the result that many specimens were obtained. 

 The abundance of the Carabidce was remarkable, scarcely a 

 stone being turned over which did not reveal some member 

 of this interesting group. 



As I believe there is no published record of the Coleoptera 

 occurring on Rathlin, I have deemed it best to give a special 

 list of those we obtained on the Island, which were as 

 follows : — 



Cicindela campestris, L. Carabus gramdatus, L. 

 Notiophilus aquatictis, L. C. arvensis, F- 



N. pahistris, Duft. C. catenulatus. Scop. 



N. rufipes, Curt C nemoralis. Mull. 



N. bigidtatm, F. C. violaceiis, L. 



Elaphnis cupreus, Duft. C. datkraUis, I,. 



Blethisa multipunctata, L. Nebria brevuollis, F. 

 Cychrus rostratus, L. ^^- GylknhallU Sch.
