the humeral region, and finally passing apicad, nearly parallel 

 with the inner margin. In the punctured strise there are 

 about two punctures in 160 fi.

Carabites cuneatus, sp. n. 



I sent a sketch of this elytron to Mr. S. A. Bohwer at the 

 U.S. National Museum, asking him to seek the advice of the 

 well-ki own Coleopterists Messrs. Barber and Schwarz. He 

 writes : — " I have shown your drawing of the beetle elytron 

 to both Barber and Schwarz, and -they agree that it might be 

 that of a good many different groups of beetles, but suggest 

 it may possibly be that of a Oarabid, and possibly a Har- 

 palid. The ' sulcus ' is produced by the fold of the elytron, 

 and the small part is ' epipleurite ' of the elytron turned 

 under. It is probable that the view you have is from the 

 under side. By the study of a detached elytron of any large 

 Carabid you can easily see what the 'sulcus' of the fossil 

 really is." 



Carabites parallelus, sp. n. (Fig. 2.) 



Elytra about 10 mm. long and slightly over 4 wide, the 

 actual apex not preserved, but evidently very obtuse ; margins 

 subparallel ; sculpture as in 19014, with the same curved 

 sulcus.

I had referred this and the previous species to Hydro- 

 philites, but follow the opinion as to possible affinities 

 expressed by Messrs. Barber and Schwarz.
