NOTES ON BRITISH GEODEPHAGA. 63 



house at Sheerness; and on the 18th of August by Mr. 

 Unwin, beneath a heap of stones between Newhaven and 

 Beachy Head. 



Carabus intricatus, Linn. F. S. 780; Dawson, Geod. 

 Brit. p. 34. A solitary example has been captured as late as 

 September 9, 1856, in one of the woods near Plymouth : it 

 will be remembered that the captures previously made by 

 Mr. Hore were early in the spring— March or the beginning 

 of April. 



Nebria complanata, Linn. S. N. ii. 671 {Carabus) ; 

 Dawson, Geod. Brit. p. 46. The claim of this insect to be 

 included among the Irish species has rested upon a single half- 

 dead individual found on the Arklow Sands. This was at 

 any rate suspicious, and it is therefore satisfactory to be able 

 to establish its undeniable title to be included among the in- 

 digenous species of Ireland. Towards the end of July, 1856, 

 Mr. Percival Wright discovered it in abundance about two 

 or three miles from Arklow, hiding among the Asplenium 

 marinum, which grows there in profusion, and close to the 

 ground in the clefts of the rocks. 



Panagceus 4-pustulatus, Sturm, D. F. hi. 172 ; Dawson, 

 Geod. Brit. p. 59. Three specimens were captured between 

 the 9th and 24th of May by Mr. Reading on the sea coast 

 at Whitsund Bay ; they were running about on some sunny 

 slopes, which are clothed with grass and moss, with occasional 

 furze bushes interspersed. 



Licinus depressus, Payk. Faun. i. 110 (Carabus) ; Daw- 

 son, Geod. Brit. p. 62. Not uncommon on the Downs near 

 Lewes, under stones in spring and autumn. 



Anchomenas livens, Gyll. Ins. Suec. ii. 149 (JIarpalus) ; 

 Dawson, Geod. Brit. p. 82. Woods near Lewes and Hurst- 

 perpoint, Sussex, at sugar placed on the trunks of trees to 

 attract Noctuai; and in Kent by brushing the hazel.
