88 BIOLOGICAL, SURVEY OF 



ScAPHiNOTUS Dejean 



S. YiDuus (Dej.) (128). On August 24, '32, quite a number of 

 these beetles appeared in the garden of Mrs. E. C. Bodman 

 at Seal Harbor and they have never been found either be- 

 fore or since, although carefully searched for. Their food 

 is land snails. 



NoMARETTJS LeConte 



N. BiLOBus (Say) (134). This species has never been taken 

 on the Island, probably because of the scarcity of its natural 

 food, the land snails. It is found on Long Porcupine Island 

 where there are snails, around the first of July, in decay- 

 ing white birch logs. 



Sphaeoderus Dejean 



S. LEcoNTEi Dej. (162). This form is taken with the one above 

 and for the same reason is scarce on the Island. A mating 

 pair was found at Hunter's Brook, June 10, '36. (Br.). 



Carabus Linnaeus 



C. MAEANDER Fiscli. (166). Two specimcus taken at fish bait 

 Aug. 6, '23 at Morrell Park. (Miss E. L. Sawyer.) A rare 

 form. 



C. CHAMissoNis var. groenlandicus Dej. (168a). 'Mt. Desert' 

 (Austin). The occurrence of this beetle on the Island seems 

 very doubtful. 



C. serratus Say (171). Scarce. Corfield, Aug. 30; Echo Lake, 

 July 12 (J. H. Emerton). Habitat is under logs in damp 

 localities. 



C. NEMORALis Mlill. (175). Fouud travelling and when gar- 

 dens are dug over in the autumn. Not taken before 1931 

 and is on the increase. Larvae feed on cutworms. In the 

 vicinity of Bar Harbor, June 14-Oct. 13.
