Of these C. badiiim has been taken 

 but once in winter ; tlie others on 

 numerous occasions beneath bark, 

 chunks and mullein leaves. C. fal- 

 lipes frequents damp, sandy places.

These five species represent the 

 genus, as far as known, in Vigo 

 County. L. armatnm is very common 

 beneath logs in low, damp, saiuly 

 places; L. simplex rare in winter; 

 and the others frequent beneath bark 

 and logs in upland woods. 



111, Paederus littorarius Grav. 

 This handsome little Staphylinid winters 

 in numbers beneath and between the 

 leaves of almost every mullein plant. 



112, Suniiis longitcsculus Mann. 

 Common in winter beneath chunks.

The last two species occur in moss 

 and beneath chunks in dense upland 

 woods. 



Besides the above-named 31 species 

 of Staphylinidae five additional ones 

 were taken in winter which are as 3'et 

 undetermined. Seventy-nine members 

 of the familv have been collected in 

 the county, and doubtless many small 

 ones occur which have been over- 

 looked. A careful and systematic 

 collecting carried on through several 

 winters would probably show that the 

 large majority of the species are repre- 

 sented in winter by the imago.
