 using that name in this country is intended to represent 

 Marshara. 



Mr. S. Stevens has, in the same publication (No. 93, pp. 

 362 — 4), given a list of the Coleoptera taken by himself 

 during a five weeks' journey in Ireland, — that little explored 

 country, from which so much should be expected. This list 

 (disfigured by orthographical errors and misprints, and with 

 any value that it might have possessed diminished by the 

 adoption of obsolete names and the disorder in which the 

 species are placed) consists of universally distributed and 

 common insects, with one exception, Chlceitius holosericeuSj 

 of which six specimens were found running in the sunshine,

Of other captures of rare or interesting species since the

 validiuscula (in numbers, in fungus), S. elegantula, Bris., 

 Actidium concolor, Sharp, Haplocnemus nigricornis, Ato- 

 maria diluta, Quedius scitusj and a small colony of red 

 Q.fulgidus [1 j>uncticollis, Thorns.), near Ripon, and many 

 of the type-form of Aphodms ijlagiatus at Deal (always in 

 mud, like a Meter ocerus), by Mr. E. A. Waterhouse. 

 Gdont^eus at Cirencester, by Dr. McNab. Lissodema 

 Heyana on Chat Moss, by Mr. Broadhurst. Tr'ichonyx sul- 

 cicoUis, Ilydropo7'US neglectuSj and Atomariajimetarii (the 

 latter in fungus, in some numbers) at York, by Mr. H. Hutch- 

 inson. Pselaplms dresdensis in the same neighbourhood, by 

 the Rev. W. Hey, and in Wiltshire, by Mr. Hislop. Platy- 

 tarsus setulosus atTonbridge, Hydnohiuspunctatissimus, and 

 Philonthusfuscus (the latter in as great extremes of size as its 

 congener cephalotes, and also varying much in colour) from
