It seems certain that some, if not all, of these specimens were not 

 included in McLachlan's estimate of 1885. The example bearing the 

 name of Mr. Little (the Eev. William Little) in all likelihood came 

 from Raehills in the South of Scotland, the locality whence the speci- 

 men figured by Stephens came, as mentioned above.

CRYFTOFHAGUS BIMACULATUS, Panz., AND OTHEK COLEOPTERA 

 AT LOUGH NEAGH. 



BY J. N. HALBERT, M.R.I.A. 



To the student of British Coleo})tera, the Lough Neagh district 

 is undoubtedly one of the most interesting localities in the British 

 Isles. It is well known as the habitat of many local insects, notably 

 of Dyschirms obsctirus, Bembidium argenteolum, and Stenus ijolposus, 

 species which are not knowni to occur elsewhere in the Britannic area. 

 During a visit to the district in the summer of 1902, I found a few 

 specimens of a small black-banded Cryptophagus, which proves to be
