In the immediate vicinity of La Granja there were but 

 few beetles to be found at the end of July, and even on the 

 mountains the characteristic Dorcadions were almost over. 

 We obtained, however, an interesting Gryptoccphahis, G. 

 5-punetatus, and Gncorrhinus ptjriformis, on young oaks, 

 on the " flat " east of the Palace Gardens. At the sources 

 of the small streams, in the upper part of the pine forest, 

 under chips and stones, we found the very local Leistus 

 constrictus, Garabus ghilianii, G. guadarramus, and G. helluo, 

 Steroptus ghilianii, Haptodcrus ncmoralis, and others. 

 Higher up, above the pine forest, at or near the sources 

 of the streams issuing from the patches of melting snow, 

 we again met with the Leistus, and here accompanied by 

 Nebria vuillefroyi (mostly immature), Zabrus seidlitzi, 

 OtiorrhyneJms tnincatellus, Pembidium ibericum, P. laterale, 

 etc. Around the Laguna de los Pajaros, on the south side 

 of the Penalara, on which there were various patches of 

 snow, a variety of interesting species were obtained,
