  records 
  a 
  

   specimen 
  taken 
  at 
  Murree. 
  Dr. 
  Roeschke 
  (Deutsch. 
  Ent. 
  

   Zeit. 
  1907, 
  541) 
  gives 
  a 
  very 
  full 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  various 
  

   species 
  in 
  the 
  Imaibius 
  group, 
  and 
  deals 
  with 
  C. 
  casch- 
  

   mirensis 
  on 
  pp. 
  544 
  and 
  549. 
  

  

  The 
  species 
  is 
  spread 
  over 
  the 
  N.W. 
  Himalayas 
  at 
  from 
  

   5000-7500 
  ft., 
  and 
  is 
  not 
  uncommon. 
  

  

  2. 
  Carabus 
  boysi 
  (Ann. 
  and 
  Mag. 
  of 
  Nat. 
  Hist. 
  2, 
  viii, 
  

   1851, 
  51). 
  Recorded 
  by 
  Bates 
  (Entom. 
  xxiv, 
  1891, 
  Suppl. 
  

   8) 
  from 
  Kulu. 
  Kraatz 
  (Deutsch. 
  Ent. 
  Zeit. 
  1895, 
  366) 
  

   misidentified 
  the 
  species 
  with 
  C. 
  wallichi 
  Hope 
  (referred 
  

   to 
  elsewhere). 
  Dr. 
  Roeschke 
  has 
  written 
  fully 
  on 
  it 
  

   (I.e. 
  546 
  and 
  553). 
  

  

  Like 
  the 
  previous 
  species, 
  this 
  one 
  is 
  fairly 
  common 
  in 
  

   the 
  N.W. 
  Himalayas, 
  and 
  at 
  rather 
  higher 
  altitudes. 
  

   Dr. 
  Roeschke 
  gives 
  6000-10,000 
  ft., 
  and 
  I 
  have 
  records 
  

   from 
  7000 
  ft. 
  and 
  9000 
  ft.

  Among 
  the 
  numerous 
  types 
  of 
  Carabidae 
  fiom 
  Madeira, 
  

   Cape 
  Verde 
  Is., 
  etc., 
  there 
  is 
  one 
  which 
  extends 
  its 
  habitat 
  

   to 
  the 
  Oriental 
  region, 
  and 
  I 
  therefore 
  include 
  it 
  here. 
  

  

  Perigona

  This 
  species 
  in 
  one 
  or 
  other 
  of 
  its

  forms 
  has 
  an 
  almost 
  world-wide 
  distribution. 
  The 
  

   synonymy 
  seems 
  to 
  be
