 rhynchus hirtulus,-f C. melanostictus, C. asperifoliarum, G. triangulum,* (7. melana-

The sandhills themselves did not afford very many species, and, even of what 

 there were, a good proportion may have been wind-blown. Dyschirius impunrti- 

 pennis, D. politus, Bledius fuscipes,* B.fracticornis* (black form only), and B. opacus* 

 were from the damp flat stretches; the dry parts giving Homalota ca;sula,f Phi-
