SAMOUELLE S 



The specimens which were first taken hardly had a 

 leg or antennae left when brought home. I was once 

 present when a specimen was taken in the month of 

 December. The wood appeared to be a good deal 

 bored, and we found several larvae which in all proba- 

 bility belonged to the same species." We believe, 

 like other species of Tillidce, C. formicarius may be 

 found on half-dried bones in horse-boilers' yards. 

 Stewart says they pvey on the Ptinus pertinax.
