86 the entomologist's record. 



B. decorum, Panz. — Occurs in company with the two last on the 

 gravelly banks of most of our streams. 



B. monticola, Dej. — Abundant in spring and autumn on the sandy 

 banks of the Gelt, under and in the chinks of soft sandstone slabs. 

 Also by the Eden, Irthing, Petteril, etc. 



B. stomoides, Dej. — Another species added to the British list by 

 Bold, who first met with it on the Irthing, at Lanercost, in June 1848. 

 I have taken a number in the same locality, but it occurs more freely 

 on the banks of the Gelt, often in company with B. monticola. 



B. affine, Steph. — Rather a scarce species. I have taken perhaps 

 half-a-dozen on the banks of the Irthing and its tributary, the Gelt. 



B. quadriguttatum, F. — Taken by the late T. C. Heysham some- 

 where near Carlisle, over 70 years ago. This is the only species in 

 the Cumberland list which has not been taken of late years. As it 

 occurs in Scotland there is no reason why it should not turn up 

 again here. 



B. lunatum, Duft. — On several occasions I have taken this species 

 in numbers, in June, on mudbanks on Burgh Marsh. Odd specimens 

 are met with on the Irthing, where, however, Bold captured it freely 

 50 years ago. Sometimes takes to the wing in hot weather. 



B. testaceum, Duft. — Although a " northern " species, I have but 

 one Cumberland specimen which I captured on the Irthing in 1905, 

 and do not know of any others. 



B. concinnum , Steph. — May sometimes be taken as early as March, 

 running actively in the sun on mudbanks on the Solway. Very 

 common at times. 



B. femoratum, Sturm. — Under stones on sandy banks of the 

 Petteril, Eden, and Irthing, but restricted to particular spots. 



B. bntxellense, Wesm. — Scarce in the Gelt valley. On the banks 

 of the Black Lyne, in the north of the county, I took a fine series in 

 October, 1904. 



B. saxatile, Gyll. — Very abundant among loose gravel on the edges 

 of a little stream just where it enters the sea at Allonby. Has also 

 occurred inland. 



B. anglicanum, Sharp. — Taken by Bold on the Irthing. I have 

 not, as yet, met Avith it on that river, but have taken two specimens on 

 the Gelt. 



B. littorale, 01. — Everywhere common. 



B. pallidipenne, 111. — Not uncommon on the sandy beach at 

 Silloth. 



B. bipunctatum, L. — Mr. Britten and I have several times taken 

 this species in some numbers by the sides of the Eden by dashing 

 water into the angles of rocks, where sand had drifted and moss 

 grown. Rare on the coast. 



B. punctulatum, Drap. — On some of our streams perhaps the most 

 abundant Bembidium, although nearly absent from the Gelt where so 

 many of the genus abound. A rather striking blue form occurs in the 

 Eden Valley. 



B. jirasinum, Duft. — Local on the Irthing, Eden, and Caldew. On 

 its favourite shingle beds, however, it is the prevailing species. 



B. varium, 01. — Common on Skinburness Marsh, where it frequents 

 muddy hollows kept moist by the high tides. On stepping on to a 

 piece of ground where this species is present it is amusing to note
