 refuse. Clirina fossor, L. — Under stones, rubbish, etc. C. cullarifi, 

 Herbst. — Under debris of reeds and cut herbage, in damp places. 

 PmKKjeuH criLc-inajur, L.— Mr. Bouskell and I took some specimens in 

 1896, under a stack of cut herbage. Badister bijntstulatm, F. — At 

 roots of grass, under refuse. JJ. sodalis, Duft. — Under dead leaves. 

 Chlaenms nigricornis, F. — Under stones and refuse in damp places. 

 Oudes helopioides, F. — Under vegetable refuse in damp places, also by

 with Mr. Chitty, in 1892, by shaking bundles of cut reeds over paper. 

 I have not met with it again since. B. harpalimis, Dej. — Under 

 refuse, at roots of grass, etc. Harpalua mhulicula, Panz. — I took a 

 specimen of this insect on the path of a cornfield, near the Fen, this

 It is a curious fact that I should take this more southern species 

 in Cambridgeshire, and the Cambridgeshire species, Harpalus 

 obscurus, F., in Dorsetshire. H. punctatnlus, Duft. — Under stones, at 

 roots of grass, etc. H. ruficornis, F. — Under vegetable refuse. H. 

 aeneiis, F. — Under stones. H. puncticoUh, Payk. — Under cut herbage,

 out of some small pools last year ; curiously enough, Ave each got a female 

 with the smooth form of elytra. B. diviidiatus, Berg. — Mr. Bouskell 

 also took a specimen of this rarity out of the same pools. This capture is 

 very noteworthy, the insect having become exceeedingly rare, and not 

 having been taken in the Fen for a number of years. Acilius 

 snlcatus, L. — In ponds and pools. Ggrinusnatator, Scop., G. mar inns, 

 Gyll. — In ditches and pools. Hgdrophilus piceus, Li. — I took a
