  Ou 
  salt 
  marsh 
  in 
  Massachusetts 
  and 
  New 
  York: 
  on 
  the 
  ocean 
  beach 
  of 
  South 
  Carolina 
  

   and 
  Georgia. 
  The 
  specimens 
  from 
  the 
  latter 
  localities 
  are 
  more 
  perfectly 
  marked, 
  and 
  

   the 
  lobe 
  representing 
  the 
  anterior 
  extremity 
  of 
  the 
  apical 
  lunule 
  is 
  directed 
  more 
  ob- 
  

   liquely 
  inwards 
  than 
  in 
  specimens 
  from 
  New 
  York; 
  but 
  after 
  a 
  close 
  comparison 
  I 
  Lave 
  

   failed 
  to 
  find 
  any 
  specific 
  diiferences.

  Baron 
  Cbaudoir 
  

   regards 
  this 
  species 
  as 
  a 
  variety 
  of 
  C. 
  blanda; 
  from 
  the 
  imperfections 
  of 
  Dejean's 
  de- 
  

   scription 
  such 
  an 
  inference 
  might 
  be 
  readily 
  made 
  : 
  it 
  is 
  however 
  very 
  different 
  from 
  the 
  

   two 
  allied 
  species 
  next 
  described 
  by 
  its 
  stouter 
  form 
  and 
  more 
  rounded 
  thorax, 
  by 
  the 
  

   more 
  shining 
  surface, 
  by 
  the 
  coarser 
  punctures 
  of 
  the 
  elytra, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  acute 
  tooth 
  at 
  

   the 
  external 
  angle 
  of 
  the 
  oblique 
  sinuosity 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  of 
  the 
  female. 
  It 
  is 
  quite 
  possi- 
  

   ble, 
  as 
  many 
  Coleoptera 
  from 
  the 
  Western 
  States 
  have 
  been 
  sent 
  to 
  Europe, 
  that 
  this 
  spe- 
  

   cies 
  has 
  become 
  extensively 
  distributed 
  as

  Georgia 
  and 
  North 
  Carolina, 
  on 
  the 
  banks 
  of 
  rivers. 
  On 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  comparison 
  

   made 
  between 
  C. 
  blanda 
  and 
  C. 
  variegata 
  (marginata) 
  by 
  Dejean, 
  his 
  description 
  is 
  some- 
  

   what 
  obscure 
  ; 
  and 
  though 
  possessing 
  the 
  female, 
  he 
  has 
  not 
  noticed 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  api- 
  

   cal 
  sinuosity. 
  Nevertheless 
  I 
  think 
  that 
  the 
  one 
  here 
  described 
  must 
  be 
  regarded 
  as 
  his 
  

   species, 
  for 
  the 
  following 
  reasons 
  : 
  1, 
  because 
  a 
  similar 
  specimen 
  was 
  sent 
  to 
  Dr. 
  Harris 
  

   by 
  my 
  father 
  when 
  the 
  species 
  was 
  first 
  discovered 
  by 
  him 
  ; 
  2nd, 
  because 
  the 
  specimen 
  

   now 
  in 
  my 
  possession, 
  although 
  from 
  another 
  locality, 
  came 
  from 
  the 
  old 
  collection 
  of 
  my 
  

   father; 
  and 
  3, 
  because 
  Dejean 
  states 
  that 
  the 
  white 
  lateral 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  is 
  wider 
  

   posteriorly 
  with 
  the 
  lunule 
  obliterated, 
  and 
  that 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  less 
  deeply 
  punctured 
  ;
