Remarks on the CARABIDAE. 
M, agreed with M, as to the distastefulness of ground- 
beetles, classing all as minus with two exceptions. One of 
these was small, the other was a mimic of Mutillids, and 
both monkeys appear to have taken it at first for the model 
and rubbed it on the ground, subsequently finding it good 
to eat. As was pointed out before, this beetle seems to 
have lost the typical Carabid odour.
