18. Gnathoncus punctulatus, Thoms. Sk. Col. iv. 242. 
I have hitherto seen only one specimen answering to the 
description of this species. It was taken near London, and 
given to Mr. E. W. Janson. It appears from recent accounts to 
be not uncommon throughout Europe.—G. R. C. 
19. Aphodius nemoralis, Er. Ins. Deutsch. iii. 816. 
Taken by Mr. Crotch and myself at Rannoch last spring. On 
the Continent it is found in deer’s dung, and I think it very pro- 
bable our specimens had a like habitat.—D. S. 
20. Aphodius niger, Panz. F. G. 37,1; Er. Ins. Deutsch. tii. 834, 
This species has been hitherto confounded with the immaculate 
form of A. plagiatus, L. It is abundant in the spring at Deal.—

Three specimens stand in m: collection without locality ; I 
am inclined however to think that they come from the Lan- 
cashire coast.—G. R, C. 
22. Psammodius cesus, Panz. F. G. 35,2; Er. Ins. Deutsch. ii. 
913. 
This species, already in our lists as a reputed native, has been 
taken this year by Mr. Sidebotham, who has insisted on placing 
his specimen in my collection. It will doubtless soon cease to be 
unique, its near congener, 4 gialia rufa, having already turned up.

23. Athous subfuscus, Mull. Fn. Frichsd. 17, 269; Ksw. Ins. 
Deutsch. 
Three or four specimens were received a few years ago from 
the Shetland Isles by Mr. Edwin Brown of Burton-on-Trent, two 
of which he has most liberally placed in my collection.—G. R. C. 
24. Limonius parvulus, Panz. F.G. 61, 7; Ksw. Ins. Deutsch.

One specimen, taken by Mr. Sidebotham near Devizes. A propos 
of this capture I must record my firm conviction that this and the
