The second found by Mr. Pelerin in October, 1854, in a 

 sand-pit at Charlton, Kent. 



The third captured by Mr. Dossetor, on the 19th of the 

 present month, in brushing amongst herbage in the im- 

 mediate vicinity of the tree on which the first individual was 

 found, and presented to me, still alive, by that gentleman. 



It appears to be a species of excessively rare occurrence on 

 the continent, and to have been found exclusively in high 

 mountainous districts ; the only two instances, I believe, on 

 record of its capture are, by M. Leon Dufour in " Excursion 

 entomologique dans les Montagnes de la Vallee d'Ossau" 

 who says " Habite l'ecorce du chene ;" and by Herr Gressner, 

 in company with Formica fuliginosa, in Saxony.

 On the 24th of March, 1848, I met with this insect in 

 profusion in a marsh near Tottenham, Middlesex, beneath 

 rejectamenta of the river Lea. As I had then just com- 

 menced collecting Brachebjtra, and ought else interested me 

 but little, I secured but few specimens ; the major portion 

 of which were at the time distributed among my friends and 

 correspondents under the name of Baris picicornis, to which 

 I negligently without examination referred them. It pro- 

 bably inhabits the stem of some marsh plant. Redtenbacher 

 says it feeds in the stalk of the cauliflower. As it is not
