indicated by a small tooth, which gives the emargination a bisinuate form. 

 C. austriacus has not yet occurred in this country. The form of the clypeus is 

 peculiarly difficult to realize in this genus on account of the long hairs which 

 clothe it. Dr. Kohl tells me that he has been obliged to denude specimens in order 

 to make sure of their exact shapes. 



Of Crahro carhonarius one <? and three ? s were taken, a J and ? at Brodie, 

 9 and lO.vi.Oo, and two ? s at Nethy Bridge, 2R.vi.05. Colonel Yei'bury's original 

 specimen was taken at Avieniore, 28,vi.OO, and since then a $ and ? have 

 been taken by Mr. King at Aviemore in July and August, 1903. Other species 

 interesting for their localities, and which have not been taken on his former excur- 

 sions, are: Myrmica rubra, v. sulcinodis, one $, Nairn, 26.vii.05 ; Agenia hircina, 

 one ? , Nethy Bridge, 8.vii.05 ; Crahro tibialis, one J , Aviemore, 24.vii.05. Many 

 other species were obtained, but they have been previously recorded.

Coleoptera in Cumberland in 1905. — Although collecting during the past season 

 in this county was not of a very remunerative character, still it was better than in 

 1904, and a fair number of moderately interesting species were met with, some of 

 which I will here briefly refer to 



NotiopMlus substriatus, Wat., was found on the shingly side of a stream. In 

 similar places various Bemhidia were common, e.g., monticola, Stm., prasinum^ 

 Duft., stomoides, Dj., and schuppeli, Dj., B. testaceum, Duft.,* which I have been 

 on the look-out for during the past two or three seasons, occurred on the Trthing, 

 but one specimen only. B. nigricorne, Gyll., was abundant on high-lying moors in 

 September. It is a species one seems only to meet with in early spring and 

 autumn. Bradycellus collaris, Pk., was found in small numbers as usual on 

 similar ground. Among the larger Carabidx I may mention that Nebria gyUenhali, 

 Sch., with red elytra and black legs, occurred freely, in company with mature speci- 

 mens in spring, but a search for a fresh specimen or two in September, when Mr. 

 W. E. Sharp was at work on the variation of the species, was fruitless. I think, 

 with Mr. Sharp, that this form at any rate is only the result of immaturity, as I 

 have found that specimens kept alive a short time invariably darken. At Keswick I 

 met with Ocyusa incrassata, Muls.,* and near Penrith, O, maura, Er., both in 

 moss. All three species of Ocalea were taken at different times in flood refuse 

 with odd specimens of Chilopora longitarsis, Er., and CalUcerus obscurus, Er.* 

 Myrmedonia huvierah's, Pk., was common in spring in moss near ants' nests. 

 Many species of Homalota, were taken, including currax, Kr., gregaria, Er., 

 longula, Heer,* cambriea, WolL* (common), tibialis, Heer, oblongiuscula, Shp.,* 

 pilicornis,* Th., Isevana, Muls.,* orhata, Er.,* &c. Gnypeta eserulea, Sahib., I took 

 in flood refuse in November. Falagria sulcata, Pk., very scarce here before, was 

 captured in plenty in September in rotting straw. One fine and calm day at 

 Silloth in September, when beetles were abundant, the intei'esting Diglotta sinua- 

 ticollis, Muls.,* was captured freely running on the wet beach ust where the tide
