THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 377 
species allied to this last, but much larger, and probably new 
to Science; and, in addition, he has brought home a 
considerable number of Pselaphide and Scydmznide, which 
have not yet been determined. On the Massane he met with 
Bythinus Massane of Saulcy, discovered a few years back by 
Michel Nou. A cave in the neighbourhood of Banyuls, 
never previously explored, and in which it was expected 
some of the blind Coleoptera would be found, produced 
nothing but Pristonychus cyanescens, and a pretty Catops 
which had taken up its quarters at some distance from the 
mouth of the cave. It is remarkable that in a country so rich 
in blind Coleoptera, this cave did not afford a habitation 
even to an Adelops. After searching the environs of Port- 
Vendres, Collioure and Banyuls, where he found a number 
of Aptinus displosor, nearly always accompanied by Percus 
patruelis, he proceeded to Vernet, where he made some most 
interesting captures, amongst which may be mentioned 
Belodera Genei, Vesperus Xatarti, Rhagonycha signata, 
Chleenius fulgidicollis, and a great number of other species 
not yet determined. He next explored the environs of 
Mont-Louis, and especially the valley of Eyna, so rich in 
Coleoptera. Thence he returned to the Ariége, but only 
explored the cave at Ussat, which contained scarcely any- 
thing worth notice, excepting Adelops Pyrenzeus and Pholeuon 
Querilhaci, which were very abundant. He ended his tour by 
exploring the mountains of Luchon, and ascended the peak 
of Nethou. The mountains of the Haute-Garonne produced 
a number of interesting Coleoptera, among which may be 
mentioned Athous filicornis, Nebria laticollis, and Adelops 
ovatus, shaken out of moss. When all the insects procured 
shall have been determined, it is proposed to prepare a list 
of them for publication in the ‘ Entomologist.’ 
M. de Narcillac.—M. de Narcillac communicates the 
results of an entomological excursion he has made to 
PEtang-Neuf, the forest of Rambouillet, near Montfort- 
YAmaury. This locality proved much richer than he 
had expected: he collected between seven and eight hundred 
Coleoptera, the greater part of which are still unnamed. 
Among the ascertained species are Cicindela_ sylvatica, 
found in sandy tracks bordered with heath, and the bark of 
Pinus sylvestris, stacked in heaps after the felling of the
