Hints for raising Coleopterous Larve. 
(Continued from page 11.) 
Carabidee. The larvz of Carabide may be placed in lower boxes 
with earth; the food is the same as mentioned under the Cicinde- 
lidee. 
They need small flat stones and moss for hiding; never use wood 
for it, as it will mould on the damp earth and kill the larva. Feed daily, 
and moisten the ground either twice or only once a week, according the 
moisture or dryness in theair, but be very careful not to make the earth too 
wet. ‘The larvae of Carabidze are found partly in the same places with the 
imagines, under stones, chippings etc, near moist places, at the edges of 
wood, but they are rather rare with the exception of that of Galerita janus, 
which is found in numbers; sometimes they are in decaying wood, 
under the loose bark, but the greater part undoubtedly live in the earth, 
rarely appearing at the surface. Péerostichus \arvee are found under 
cow-droppings, quite common. Larve are also found in the earth near the 
banks of brooks and rivers. 
A most important thing to be observed in raising larvae ws this, all 
material brought into the box, as earth, moss, wood etc. has to be previously
