bourhood, the nearest, Ivillystewart Lough, being on the top of a hill about 300 feet 

 above sea level. I was not able to work the locality as thoroughly as I should have 

 wished, owing to both Mrs. Johnson and myself both being laid up with severe colds. 

 Among the insects taken were the following : — Carahus clathridus,a pair on the 

 mountain among cut turf; C. catenulatus, common among turf and heather on the 

 mountain ; C. granuJatus, a handsome form, brilliant green instead of the usual 

 bronze colour. Nehrla Qyllenhalii, plentiful on mountain under stones, &c., and I 

 took one on the estuary shore. Notiophiliis aquaticus, N. palustris. ElapJirus 

 cupreus, E. riparius, both on the estuary shore, but quite scarce. Pterostlchus 

 minor, Pt. gracilis, Pt. strenuus, Pt. vitreus, on mountain under stones and bits of 

 turf, and pretty common. Amara pleheia, on estuary shore under stones and on 

 mountain. AncJiomenm gracilipes, one specimen on estuary shore under stones. 

 Bemhidium atrocceruleum, on estuary shore ; B. pallidipenne, on sandhills when 

 looking {ov Bledii; B. Mannerheimi ; I also got on the mountain a Bemhidium 

 which is near B. Schiippeli, but which Canon Fowler, to whom I referred, does not 

 think is that species. Trechus ruhens, one specimen on estuary shore. Calathus 

 micropteriis and C. fuscus, on sandhills. Dyschiriiis politus, on sandhills near 

 Bledius burrows. I could only get two Halipli, viz., H. riiJicoUis and H. lineato- 

 collis. Hydroporus was better represented, the chief being H. lepidus in great 

 numbers in disused quarry ; H. morio, H. nigritus, H. ohscurus and H. lituratiis. 

 I had great hopes of getting Dyfiscus lapponicus, but all my efforts were in vain, 

 producing nothing but D. marginalis. Rhantus exohtus, not common. Gyrinus 

 minutiis, plentiful in mountain lakes. Philhydrus melanocephalus, in numbers in a 

 boggy pool on mountain. Homalota vestita, H. atramentaria, H. aterrima, and H. 

 longicornis. Quedius ductus and Q. tristis. Philonthus siiccicola, plentiful on 

 estuai'y shore in rejectamenta ; Ph. agilis, Ph. quisquiliarius, and Ph. puella. 

 Ocypiis cupreus and O. morio. Bledius arenarius, B. pallipes, the latter was far 

 the most common, occurring in numbers, both were taken on the sandhills at mouth 

 of south estuary. Necrophorus ruspator and var. microcephalus ; N. mortuorum 

 in dead crow on mountain. A nisotoma calcarata, on sandhills. Meligethes viduatus, 

 sweeping. Coccinella 11-punctata, very plentiful on sandhills. Anomala Frischii, 

 several specimens dead on sandhills. Aphodius lapponum, the red var., A.fottidus, 

 A. depressus, type form, and one with red elytra, all on estuary shore. Athous niger, 

 in rectory grounds. Cryptohypnus dermestoides, on estuary shore. Corymhites 

 cupreus. Adrastus limhatus. Bonacia sericea, in Rectory grounds, by sweeping ; 

 D. discolor, Panz. (comari, Suffr.) at Killystewart Lough. Longitarsus suturalis 

 and L. Icevis. Apion Bohemani, A. vicice, A. eruentahim on sandhills on Trifolitim ; 

 A. loti. Atactogenus exaratus, a rather large form and very white, on the sandhills. 

 Nanophyes lythri, by sweeping, the last very plentiful on the purple loosestrife. —

Stenophylax alpestris at Dunford Bridge, Wed Yorkshire. — I am very glad to 

 now be able to confirm the supposed locality for Stenophylax alpestris {cf. Ent. 

 Mo. Mag., xxvii, p. 249). On the 9th of July last, the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union 

 visited Dunford Bridge, near Penistone, and some ten miles from Huddersfield, as 

 one of the year's excursions, but unfortunately there was an incessant downpour of 

 rain all the time the members could be out, and so little was done by any section.
