cellaris, which were flying towards evening, and settled on Mrs. 

 Johnson's dress, and one Ohlceniiis nigricornis under a stone. I spent 

 a week at Keady, which is a few miles from this, but much higher ; 

 here I found at Clay Lake FeJophila borealis, Bemhidium pimctulatum, 

 £. atrocoeruleum, and an Anclwmenus, which looks like gracilipes. 

 About Keady I also took Agabus unguicularis, A. guttatus, Megaster- 

 num boletophagum, Agriotes obscurus, Hgpera trilineata, H. 'polygoni, 

 H. rumicis, Sltones Jlavescens, Alophus triguttatus, and Qastrophysa 

 raphani. A drive to Loughgall procured me, with other things, 

 Adrastiis limbafus, Baridius T-albmn, and Oaleruca tcnella ; and a 

 wet day at Portneligan, a quantity of Cassida equestris and Phratora 

 vulgnfissima, also Baridius T-album. The only home captures worth 

 mention are : Haliplus Jlavicollis, Oyrinus minutus, G. marinus, G. 

 hicolor, Coeliodes quadrimaculatus, and Apion craccce. 



August was not quite a blank, for I took Cryptopliagus dentatus, 

 Adimonia tanaceti, and Apion humile. His Grace the Primate gave 

 me a couple of Necrophorus ruspator, which he got under a dead corn- 

 crake, and one of my pupils brought me Homalimn concinnum and 

 Cryptopliagus scanicus. 



September's best captures were : Bembidium 5-sfriatum, Sydro- 

 clius elongatus, Octhebius pygmceus, Hippodamia IS-pustuIata, E^iicmus 

 transversus, Bonacia dentata, Thyamis hoJsatica (in moss), Apion 

 carduorum, A. striatum, A. immune, A. tenue, A. subulatum, A. f rumen- 

 tar ium, Ceutliorhynchus viduatus, and JErirhinus cethiops ; of this last 

 I took a considerable number on the leaves of Iris pseudacorus and 

 Sparganium ramosum, in the Mullinures. 



October's work produced a single specimen of Hydroporus Davisii, 

 two of Philhydrus testaceus, one of Dytiscus punctulatus, one of 

 Bonacia sericea, along with several Stenus pubescens, S. binotatus, S. 

 pallitarsis, and Thyamis liolsatica. 



For November I have but little to record, the only capture new 

 to my list being Phyllotreta tetrastigma. Besides this, my most 

 important capture was Bembidium Clarhii, which I got in moss from 

 the Mullinures ; along with it occurs another Bembidium, which I 

 erroneously recorded as B.fumigatum (p. 16). It is, however, cei'- 

 tainly wotfumigaium, and it has been suggested to me that it is merely 

 an immature form of B. Clarhii. As this opinion is advanced by those 

 more experienced than myself, I do not like to dissent, but I have kept 

 two of these beetles alive for more than three weeks, and they show no 

 signs of becoming more like Clarlcii now than at first, so I am, if 

 possible, more puzzled than ever.
