22. Cyviindis cribricollis Dej. One specimen only, 26th March, 1882. 



23. Calat/ins Behrensii Mann. Very common near Victoria. 



24. Platytms brunneomarginatns Mann. 28. Plat y mis Califoj'uicus Dej. 



25. 11 quadratiis Lee. 29. n corvus Lee. 



26. n subsericetis Lee. 30. n fossiger Dej. 



27. M sordens Kirby. 31. n octocolus Mann, 



= qtiadrjpu7ictatus Dej. 



Of the above species of Platynus, subsericeus is very abundant under 

 stones, brimtieojnargifiatus is common in and under rotten logs, and 

 corvus is fairly common. All the others are represented in my collection 

 by single specimens, principally captured while flying in the sunshine. 



32. Pterostichus orinomum Leach. Common. 



33. II Iticublandus Say. Not rare. 



34. II amethyst iiius Dej. Very common. 



35. II validus Dej. Very common. 



36. II lustrans Lee. A large variety ; rare. 



37. n hercidaneus Mann. Not common. 



38. M crenicolUs Lee. Common under logs on the banks of the 

 River Colquitz, in one locality about five miles from Victoria. 



39. Poecilus cur sit or Lee. One only. 



40. Holciophorus ater Dej. Not uncommon in rotten logs. This is the 



largest species of the order that I have yet taken here. It quickly 

 destroys any other beetles that may be placed in the same box with 

 it, though it does not appear to be nearly so savage an insect as are 

 our two species of Omus. 



41. Amara subaenea Lee. Not common. 



42. II sp. A small species somewhat resembling ^;7'rt//V^, but much 

 smaller. It was returned by Mr. Ulke without a name, and is 

 therefore presumably a new species. 



43. Amara littoralis Zimm. Rare as far as I have observed, but probably 



commoner in suitable places. 



44. Amara laevipennis Kirby. Not uncommon. 



45. II Californica Dej. Rare. 



46. II fallax Lee. Not common. ' 



47. II obesa Say. Rare. 



48. II melanogastrica Dej. Common. 



49. II erratica Sturm. Common.
