Naturaliste Eschcholtz, on a acquis la preuve du 

 contraire. Ce n'est que dans le nord de I'Afrique 

 et dans I'Asie Mineure que I'on trouve des especes 

 de ce genre pour chacune de ces deux parties du 

 monde, et 1' Australasie n'en a pas encore ofFert une 

 seule jusqu' ici." 



It is singular that neither of the above Entomo- 

 logists are aware that Fabricius had early described 

 a species from Terra del Fuego, under the name 

 of Car. suturalis. Mr. Charles Darwin has lately 

 brought with him from the same country the above 

 species, and five others. As to Carabus being found 

 only in Asia Minor, it may here be noticed that 

 one species, under the name of Car, Hardwickii, 

 was published by me in the Synopsis of Nepaul 

 Insects, and four other species were in the same 

 collection when it reached this country. 



Sp. 3. Hortensis. — This insect is subject to be 

 attacked by parasitic worms of the genus Filaria; 

 I have twice seen the worms escape from the insect 

 when dead. 



Sp. 4. Leucopthalmus. — Now a Sphodrus of Clair- 

 ville, who first separated this genus from Carabus. 

 The species are widely dispersed in the world, oc- 

 curring in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Some sub- 

 genera from New Holland are allied to it. Sphodrus
