[August, 



two specimens of Diglossa mersa were found. Under seaweed Phytosus balticus, 

 Oxytelus maritimm, and Cafius xantholoma were plentiful, with several Saprims 

 marttimus and Aleochara grisea and obscure/la. Telephorus Darwinians was also 

 found here under a stone. Cercyon littorale, var. binotatum, was fairly plentiful 

 under seaweed and decaying vegetables. 



On June 3rd a single specimen of HcBmonia appendiculata was secured after 

 several hours' hard work in the Royal Canal , Gyrinus marinus and opacus, Dero- 

 nectes assimilis, and Hydroporus pictus occurred in the canal, and Donaeia discolor 

 was plentiful on the rushes, all the forms except the bright blue being found. 



A visit to Baldoyle resulted in a series of Cillenus lateralis and a single speci- 

 men of Polydrusus chrysomela. Broscus cephalotes was abundant here, and 

 Dichirolnchus pubescens was in some numbers. 



Hydroporus rivalis swarmed in Gleucullen Valley, and H. obscurus tristis 

 mono, and Gyllenhali were taken from the bog-pools on Mt. Kippure. 



At Portmarnock Otiorrhynohus auropunetatus was abundant, but, difficult to 

 bring back in good condition, Bembidium asneum was fairly common, and Apion 

 aneum, rufirostre, and radiolus were swept from mallow. 



Silpha atrata, var. subrotundata, and Tachyporus obtusus, var. nitidiusculus, 

 were fonnd in several places near Dublin. 



On June 17th I went for three days to Lough Neagh, and had fairly good 

 sport, in spite of the miserable weather. I visited the south-east corner of the 

 lake, and my captures included nice series of Pelophila borealis, Chlamius nigri- 

 corms, & nd Ccelambus quinquelineatus, two specimens each of Carabus clathratus 

 Silpha dispar, and Rkopalomentes Tarda, sis Bembidium argenteolum (the species 

 discovered by Mr. J. N. Halbert), B. bipunctatum, Blethisa multipunctata, Nebria 

 Gyllenhah, Orectochilus villosus, Hylobius abietis, Staphyl inns pubescens and catsa- 

 reus, and Cryptohypnus riparius. 



Deroneotes assimilis was abundant here with Hydroporus lepidus, lineatus 

 hturatus, planus, &c, and one specimen of Ccelambus uovemlineatus was found! 

 Dark forms of Pterostichus cupreus were plentiful. 



Of the rare water-bug, Aphelocheirus aestivalis, only a dead and broken speci- 

 men could be found.-STANLEY W. Kemp, 80, Oxford Gardens, Notting Hill W ■

Ceuthorrhynchidius Bawsoni, Bris., in the Isle of Man. - After detailing 

 localities for this species in " The Co/eoplera of the British Islands," Canon Fowler 

 remarks that "it is probably much more widely distributed than is at present 

 known, if we may judge from the Scotch record [Solway district (Sharp)] » At 

 the end of June and beginning of July of the present year I met with this species 

 in some numbers by shaking plants of Plantago maritima over a sweeping net on 

 the cliffs at Berwick Bay and at Traie Veg, Port Erin. The species seemed to be 

 entirely confined to this plant, although Plantago coronopus was plentiful in both 

 localities. In the Annual Report for Session 1901 of the Lancashire and Cheshire 

 Entomological Society I notice that amongst the exhibits of Coleoptera Dr. Chaster 

 of Southport, showed this species as being new to the list for the Liverpool district.'
