 is widely spread throughout Australia, and also occurs in Tas- 

 mania; I have seen it from Central Australia (Finke River), New 

 South Wales, and Victoria; de Castelnau records that (amongst 

 other localities) he had it from Queensland (Flinders River), 

 South Australia (Adelaide) and Swan River. "^ C. australe is 

 unknown to me; according to Castelnau it is very rare, and is 

 found "towards Cooper's Creek in the central part of the continent"; 

 Mr. Masters gives the habitat as " Duaringa, Gayndah and 

 Cooper's Creek, Queensland." C. walkeri is a distinct species. 

 T have a specimen ticketed King's Sound; Mr. Waterhouse's 

 localities are Roebuck Bay and Swan River. It may be noted 

 that Horn has said that the prothorax of the members of the 

 tribe Carabini has two marginal setse on each side,! but I 

 have not found any marginal setae in the specimens of Australian 

 Calosoma which I have examined. 



* Trans. Roy. Soc. Vict. 1868, viii. p. 99. Mr. Masters in his Catalogue 

 does not record it from Western Australia, so that I doubt whether it is 

 found on the Swan River.
