Spain {Paganetti-Htimmler); recently recorded from Belgium by 

 M. d'Orchymont. 



Cercyon {Cerycon) sternal is Sharp. — I have, under the name 

 " subsulcafics Rey," numerous specimens of a little Cercyon which 

 agrees with Dr. Sharp's description ; it lives in marshy places in various 

 localities, from Douai and Boulogne to Hyeres and Antibes. I presume 

 that Cerycon sternaUs Sharp is synonymous with C. subsulcatus Rey ; 

 but as Dr. Sharp does not allude to the last-named species, a direct 

 comparison would be necessary for elucidation. 



Bryops anylicanus Edw. (Sharp, Ent. Mo. Mag. 1919, p. 78). — 

 As was foreseen by Dr. Sharp, this very distinct species occurs in 

 Northern France. I have taken half-a-dozen specimens in the extensive 

 marshes near St. Josse (south from Etaples, Pas-de-Calais). 



Cryptophagus fowleri Joy. — Dr. Joy has recognized his species in 

 one specimen I took many years ago in the "Foret de Haute-Sere," near 

 Fourgeres, Ille-et-Vilaine. 



JEnicmus histrio Joy. — This Lathridiid seems to be much rarer in 

 France than in Britain. Although my attention was called to it, I have 

 during the War taken only one specimen, and that was found in the 

 neighbom'hood of Folembray, Aisne. 



GnatJioncus nidicola Joy. — I have an old specimen, captured by 

 myself in the " Foret de Senart," twenty miles south-east from Paris, 

 in September 1885. It was taken recently in some numbers by M. du 

 BuA'sson at Brout-Vernet, Allier, chiefly in old birds' nests. Dr. Auzat 

 has recently described from the same locality a fourth species, 

 G. hiiyssoni (Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1917, p. 184), that I have not yet 

 seen. 



Cantharis dariviniana Sharp. — Recorded some yeai-s ago from the 

 Belgian coast by the late M. Bourgeois (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1886, Bull, 

 p. cxli). I have seen a nice series, S ? , from the Isle of Sylt, Northern 

 Germany, taken by Mr. C. Stock. 



Anaspis yarneysi Fowl. — Not uncommon on hawthorn blossoms in 

 May and June around Boulogne-sur-Mer. I have bred it from old 

 timber (elm and poplar) of my own garden. Further, I captured 

 formerly one specimen in the Alpes-Maritimes at about 3000 ft. elevation, 

 and saw another from Compiegne, in M. Bedel's collection. 



Qalerucella fery ussoni, Fowl.— On three different occasions I have 

 captured specimens of a Galerucella feeding on Comarnm palusfre L. : 

 June 1911, in peat mosses near Pontarlier ; August 1912, on the banks
