THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST, 35 



CARABID/E. 



3. Elaphrus Clairvillei Kirby. One specimen only, on 20th August, 



1882, near the margin of Green Mountain Swamp (\'ictoria). I 

 have searched the locahty on several other occasions, but have 

 failed so far to procure another specimen. 



4. Elaphrus riparius Linn. This widely distributed species is very 



abundant here. 



5. Loricera lo-punctata'Esch. Several specimens on different occasions, 



generally flying in the middle of the day. 



6. Notiophilus sylvaticus Esch. Not common. 



7. M nitens Lee. Two only. A third species of Notiophilus 

 is at present undetermined. 



8. Nebria virescens Chaud. Several at different times. 



9. 1, Manner heimii Fisch. A pair under seaweed on the beach. 



10. Leistus ferrugmosus '^IdLvm. Not rare. 



11. Calosoma tepidufn 'Lqc. Not uncommon ; very variable in size. 



12. n calidum Fab. Several specimens of this fine beetle last 

 spring. I have also three or four Calosomas which seem different 

 from my type oi calidum, but I have not yet submitted them to any 

 authority. 



13. Carabiis taedatus Fischer. Common under logs, etc. A few days 



ago I secured 20 or 30 in some holes that had been dug the day 

 before for fencing posts. 



14. Cychrus marginaUis Dej. Quite the commonest of our large 



Carabidae. 



15. Cychrus angusticollis Fischer. Not so common as marginatus, but 



by no means rare. 



16. Omus Dejeani Reiche. Very common under logs, and often to be 



seen wandering over the roads, I suppose in search of prey. 



17. Omus Audouini Reiche. Not uncommon. 



18. Promecognathus crassus Lee. I took a couple under a stone in 1882, 



and this season I have seen two or three more. 



19. Dyschirius patruelis Lee. One specimen only. I have this year 



taken a considerable number of a species a little larger than this, 

 but in othier respects very similar. They were found running over 

 the sands at Cadboro' Bay. 



20. Dromiiis piceus Dej., var. quadricollis Lee. Several. 



2 1 . Blechrus lucidus Lee. Very common under logs and stones.
