NOTES ON BRITISH GEODEPHAGA. 75 



CaUistus lunatus, Fab. Ent. S. i. 163 (Carabus); Daw- 

 son, Geod. Brit. p. 68. Found in profusion from March till 

 October or November, 1854, on Buckland Hill, near Rei- 

 gate, close to the edge of the copse wood ; Dr. Power in- 

 forms me he has taken thirty or more from a few square feet 

 of ground, and he has little doubt that as many as 500 were 

 captured last year in that one locality. It is less abundant 

 and more dispersed in the summer, and harbours under tufts 

 of grass and stones, &c. The late Rev. D. F. Jarman found 

 the species in some plenty also on a grassy bank between 

 Dover and Radegunds Abbey, about June in the same year. 



Anchomenus 6-punctatus, Linn. F. S. 807 (Carabus) ; 

 Dawson, Geod. Brit. p. 85. Taken in some of the moist 

 hollows on Woking and Wimbledon Commons, at the be- 

 ginning of August, 1855. 



Anchomenus gracilis, Sturm, D. F. v. 197 (Agonum gra- 

 cile); Dawson, Geod. Brit. p. 91. This very distinct and 

 elegant species was captured by the Rev. H. Clark, at Horn- 

 ing Fen, in September, 1854, in some plenty. 



Anchomenus scituhts, Dej. Spec. iii. 162 (Agonum) ; 

 Dawson, Geod. Brit. p. 91. This species was unique in the 

 Stephensian Cabinet, at the date of the publication of the 

 Geodephaga Britannica, but has been detected by Mr. F. 

 Grant in the neighbourhood of Putney. He has found it 

 locally abundant under refuse in a ditch of a water-meadow 

 near the Thames, between Putney and Hammersmith, into 

 which the high tides occasionally ilow. It is found almost 

 in the water, from June to September. It is one of the 

 most valuable additions to our indigenous fauna, being a per- 

 fectly distinct and constant species. The examples in the 

 Stephensian Cabinet are stated to have been found in Plais- 

 tow Marshes. 



Anchomenus pelidnas, Payk. Faun. i. 134 (Cardbus); 

 Dawson, Geod. Brit. p. 93. This species (of which not
