drawing made by Mr. Aildrew Murray, from the type in the British Museum, 

 it is quite distinct from any species known to him ] 



5. CiciNnELA VULGARIS, Say. — A common species in all North America. 

 [11] G. CiciNDELA PURPUREA, Oliv. — [Very common in most parts of 

 Canada.] 



[12] 7. CiciNDBLA ALBiLALRis, Kirhy. Plate i. fig. 1. — Taken in lut. 64°, 

 and also in Canada by Dr. Bigsby. [Previously described as C. longilabris, 

 by Say. (Ent. "Works, i. 176.) We have received specimens of this species 

 from Nova Scotia, collected by Mr. J. M. Jones, and from Quebec and New 

 Hampshire.] 



[Family Carabidje.] 



[1.3] 8. Casnonia Pbnnsylvanica, De Jean. — Two specimens taken. 



9. Cymindis maroinatus, Kirhy. — Piceons, thickly punctured; antennae, 

 mouth, dilated sides of the protborax, lateral margin and shoulders of the 

 striated elytra, and legs, rufous. Length of the body 4 J lines. 



One specimen of this insect was taken in the route from New York to 

 Cumberland House, and the other in lat. 65°. It is nearly related to C. 

 pubescem, Dej., but appears distinct. 



[14] Body depressed and flat, as in its congeners, piceous ; above densely 

 punctured ; mouth rufous : anteunje longer than the prothorax, piceo-rufous ; 

 front betweon the eyes tranversely wrinkled; prothorax convex, with a longi- 

 tudinal channel; lateral margin dilated, reflexed and rufous; elytra striated 

 or slightly furrowed, with the furrows and their interstices punctured ; viewed 

 on one side they appear hairy with upright ferruginous hairs ; their shoulders 

 and lateral margin are obscurely rufous ; their apex obliquely truncated, and 

 subemarginate ; the legs are rufous. 



Var. B. Piceo-rufous ; elytra concolorate. 



[In Melsheimer's Catalogue, p. 4, this species is put down as a synonym of 

 C. cribricollis, Dej., and in Le Conte's List, p. 6, with a mark of interrogation 

 under C. reflexa, Lee. The latter author, however, subsequently states 

 (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, Feb. 1869, p. 244), that both C. Marginata, Kirby, 

 and C. refiexa, Lee, are identical with C. cribricollis^ Dej. The species 

 occurs in the most northern parts of the United States and in Canada.] 



10. Cymikdis unicolor, Kirby. — Thickly punctured, ferruginous; legs 

 paler ; lateral margin of the thorax not dilated. Length of the body 3 J lines. 

 One specimen only taken. 



This species greatly resembles variety B of the preceding. It is, however, 

 smaller and paler ; the prothorax has no longitudinal channel, and its lateral 

 margin is not dilated.
