the other; a single distinct ocellus; a small ocellus; and two specimens in 
which the ocelli are obsolete and only perceptible *hrough the wing, as a 
faint shadow from the under side.. Beneath, the ocelli are much more 
distinctly marked in all forms, two in number, often both complete, but 
in many.cases the lower one reduced in size and without centre. The 
secondaries. vary.in the number of ocelli from none at all, to six; usually 
four, and these mere white dots, sometimes with a darker circle (in pale 
specimens): in color they vary from grayish white with a very distinct 
discal band, to dark yellowish brown; the band remaining distinct, the 
borders black; in another direction the variation tends to the more uni- 
form distribution of color: the discal band becomes obsolete, and the 
wing becomes of a uniform yellowish to dark brown. color. All shades 
of.color and all grades of distinctness of marking are represented, and 
while it is possible to range most of the specimens under the three forms 
here described, there are some which fit equally well in either, and the 
conclusion that they are one and the same is irresistable. 
It follows from the preceeding, that the species of the genus Sa/rus 
should be arranged as follows: .

Carabidz confined to single plants. 
Although'many species of Carabidz are frequently met with on 
various plants, especially at night time, yet it is but natural to expect 
from their predatory habits that they are not confined to single species or 
genera of plants Still there are among the bark-living species a few 
that are thus confined, ¢. g. certain European species of Dromius and, in
