228 Mr. George C. Champion on an 
successful collector paid special attention to the 
Pselaphidee, Scydmzenidee, Dytiscids, etc.; he gives a 
most interesting account of his entomological experi- 
ences in the southern part of the island, where he made 
excursions with M. Reveliére, a well-known Coleopterist 
residing at that time in Corsica, and to whom we are 
largely indebted for our knowledge of its insect-fauna. 
It is to be hoped that some day Dieck’s paper will be 
translated into English and published here, as has 
already been done with his paper on Andalusia (¢f. Ent. 
1888, pp. 38 e¢ seg.). (2), “Notes on some Corsican 
Insects,” by the Rev. 'T. A. Marshall (Hnt. Monthly 
Mag., vii., pp. 225—228). In this paper Mr. Marshall 
gives a most accurate description of the general features 
of the parts of the island he visited, with a list of all 
the Coleoptera he had captured and been able to name; 
but no Dytiscide or Staphylinidee are mentioned, nor 
many of the smaller species. Amongst my captures are 
many species not noticed by either Dieck or Marshall, 
and I propose to give here a list of all the species I have 
been able to identify, adding to my list, as I have stated 
above, some others subsequently obtained by Colonel 
Yerbury, chiefly at Tattone, where a saw-mill was started 
soon after I left. MM. Fauvel and Bedel, the well- 
known French Coleopterists, have kindly assisted me in 
determining many of the more obscure species, the 
former with the Staphylinide, the latter with the 
Carabidee, Curculionids, etc. Representatives of about 
510 species were obtained in all, including a good many 
of the peculiar Corsican forms. 
Before commencing my list, it is perhaps as well to 
give a short account of the general run of species met 
with in the different localities visited. 
At Vizzavona, in the forest, under the bark of the 
decaying beeches, were to be found Hndophlweus 
spinulosus, Coxelus pictus, Brontes planatus, Bolitochara 
lunulata, ete., in plenty; and Colydiwm elongatum, 
[pidia quadrinotata, two species each of Paromalus and 
Jerylon, Litargus bifasciatus, Orchesia undulata, Melan- 
drya caraboides, Melasis buprestoides, Sipalia scabripennis, 
Phleeocharis corsica, Placusa, sp. n. (?), etc., sparingly : 
in the older trees, with looser bark, Pterostichus 
ambiguus and Pristonychus carinatus, both commonly ; 
and in those with plenty of moss and fungi on the bark,
