a large number of specimens from N. India, and find that 
the sericeous patches on the elytra are very variable, being 
sometimes conspicuous and sometimes altogether wanting : 
as a rule they are present but not very noticeable. I do 
not regard Bates’ species as differing from Dejean’s.

Dr, Heller did not know the locality of this species, which has 
recently been taken by Mr. R. Vitalis de Salvaza in Laos. 
Sarothrocrepis bimaculatus Jord. (Nov. Zool. i, 1894,

IL. 
A visit to Copenhagen in September 1920 has enabled 
me to identify a considerable number of doubtful species, 
but has also revealed the fact that many of the types of 
Oriental Carabidae to be found in the University Museum 
of that city have been misidentified or are quite unknown. 
Hope seems to have been the first (Col. Man. 11, 1838, pp. 
37-45) to publish his views on the Fabrician types and the 
genera to which the various species should be attributed. 
The collections at Copenhagen were visited by Erichson, 
Schaum, and Motchulsky, each of whom has added a little 
to our knowledge of them. Erichson does not seem to 
have published his notes, but Schaum (Stett. Ent. Zeit. 
1847, pp. 89-57) and Motchulsky (Et. Ent. 1855, pp. 25-71) 
both wrote memoirs on the Fabrician insects. So far as I 
can ascertain neither Baron de Chaudoir nor H. W. Bates 
went to Copenhagen, and it seems to be due chiefly to the 
writings of the former that a tradition has grown up regard- 
ing certain species, which proves upon investigation to be 
ill-founded. I took with me to Copenhagen a good many 
* T have referred to this quite recently in describing some new 
species of Catascopus (Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg., 1921, 202).
