Scotland), and Rhopalomesites Tardyi, Curt., which is locally abundant in wooded 

 districts throughout Ireland. Philonthus astutus, Er., is doubtfully included, but 

 the capture of two specimens of this species near Sandgate by the late Mr. A. C. 

 Horner, and one by Mr. J. H. Keys at Plymouth, makes the single Irish record 

 somewhat more probable ; several species which had been wrongly inserted in the 

 list (such as Elleschus scanicus, Payk., &c.) have been deleted, and in fact no pains 

 have been spared to make the list as complete and correct as possible. We believe 

 that much still remains to be done, and hope that it will not be long before the 

 compilers find it necessary to issue a supplement to their work. One new British 

 species, indeed, Lamostenus complanatus, Dej., has already been added. — W. W. F.

 Step read a short report of the Field Meeting at Ranmore Common on June 7th,
