NOTES ON BRITISH GEODEPHAGA. 79 



son, Geod. Brit. p. 155. Found by Dr. Power in great 

 abundance on the 28th of July, 1855, on the banks of a 

 muddy ditch, near Alverstoke, Hants, in company with 

 S. luridus. 



Stenolophus elegans, Dej. Spec. iv. 412; Dawson, Geod. 

 Brit. p. 156. Three or four additional examples of this in- 

 sect have since been captured by Mr. Syme, in the Isle of 

 Sheppey, in the locality where it was originally discovered. 



Stenolophus computus, Dufts. Faun. ii. 148 (Carabus) ; 

 Dawson, Geod. Brit. p. 157. I have secured about thirty 

 examples of this insect in a willow thicket near my re- 

 sidence, " The Woodlands, near Bedford," in June, 1855. 

 It has been found also abundantly, near Newark, by Mr. 

 Hadfield. 



Stenoloj)hus dorsalis, Fab. Mant. i. 205 (Carabus) ; Daw- 

 son, Geod. Brit. p. 158. Taken abundantly in a hollow 

 about the middle of Wimbledon Common, by Mr. Syme, at 

 the end of June, 1855, in company with S. luridus. 



Trechus lapidosus, Dawson, Geod. Brit. p. 168. The 

 merit of the first discovery of this insect is due to Mr. 

 Curtis, who originally detected it beneath clods of earth, at 

 the base of the cliffs, in the Undercliff, Isle of "Wight : he 

 has likewise found it at Dover and in the Isle of Portland ; 

 and Dr. Power took a specimen near Brighton, in October, 

 1853. 



Trechus incilis, Dawson, Geod. Brit. p. 168. About 

 sixteen additional examples have been captured in the fens 

 between Holme and Yaxley, Hunts, by a labouring man 

 employed by the late Mr. Jarman to collect insects for him, 

 and who sent these to him among a vast mass of useless 

 things. During a visit I paid to those fens, limited to a few 

 hours in June, 1855, I found in one of the few unburnt and 

 uncultivated spots now remaining, a couple of very immature 

 individuals of this species.
