In 0. setiger these are erect, and only very slightly curved ; in 

 0. ins ignis they are so strongly curved that the tip quite, or almost, 

 touches the bristle behind it. The thorax in the latter species has a 

 sliallow longitudinal groove in the centre, and a deeper one on each 

 side. These grooves ai'e absent in sefiger. 



Besides the specimens from Cornwall I have seen others from 

 S. Wales (Tomlin), where 0. setiyer also occurs, and Southsea 

 (Fowler, ex Moncreaff).* Capt. Deville gives its known distribution as 

 follows : " Cotes francaises de la Bretagne a partir de Roscoff (Finis- 

 tere), He de Re, Asturias, cote occidentale du Maroc (Larache), 

 Provence (Bouche-du- Rhone, Var, Alpes-maritimes) , Corse, Sar- 

 daigue. — Dans les derniers pays I'insecte n'est pas specialement 

 maritime."

Recapture of Bembidium virens, Gyll., at Loch Maree, Ross-shire. — On 

 August 1st T paid a long contemplated, biit unfortvinately very brief, visit to 

 Loch Maree, where Mr. Gr. C. Champion and Mr. E. Wylie Lloyd took B. virens 

 just 20 years ago (Ent. Mo. Mag., Vol. XXXI, p. 263) ; since that date, with the 

 exception of the doubtful record by Mr. Chitty of its occurrence at Beauly, 

 Inverness-shire, the insect does not seem to have been recapttired in this country. 

 The weather was anything but propitious on the 1st, being wet and cold; for- 

 tunately the morning of the 2nd was bright and warm, though later in the day 

 rain again set in. Thanks to the good fortune and the quick eye of Capt. C. H. 

 Fox, E.N., who was staying with us and joined me in the trip, four specimens 

 of virens were taken under stones by the Loch side on the evening of our arrival, 

 and six more (one was afterwards lost) on the morning of the 2nd. The insect 

 appeared to be by no means common, and much stone-turning and searching 

 in the gravel was necessary to secure it. We had, however, only about four 

 hoiu-s available for collecting, and could therefore only work a very short strip 

 of the Loch side. 



The following other insects were seen or taken on the Loch side : — Carabus 

 granulatus, Scop., Oychrus rostratus, L., Notiophilus biguttatus, Fab., N. aquati- 

 cus, L., Nebria gyllenhali, Sch., Loricera pilicornis, F., Pterostichus niger, Schall., 

 P. nigrita, F.,Anchomenus albipes,F., A. parumpunctatus, F., Bembidium tibiale, 

 Duft., B. atrocceruleurn, Steph., B. monticola, Stiu-m, B. littorale, 01., Trechus ob- 

 tusus, Er., Anacxna glob^dus, Payk., Quediusfuliginosus, Grav., Geodromicusnigrita, 

 Miill. A single specimen of Euryporus picipes, Payk., was found on the road in the 



* I find that I have 0. iiisidnis from Southsea (mixed witli 0. .telk/cr, ex Moucreaff), 

 and Portland; and 0. sdiyir from Milford-on-Sea (Hants), the Isle of Sheppey, and Oxford. 

 Mr. Champion lias 0. iasignis from Scilly (Tresco and St. Agnesi, So\rthsea, and Woking, and 

 0. setigir from Sandown, Sheppey, Chatham, and Woking, as well as from Malta and the 

 Pirseus.— J. J. W.
