thus quisquiliarius occurs sparingly under stones on the 

 shore of Lowry's Lough, and in a similar locality at Lough 

 Neagh on Coney Island. It is exceedingly active and very 

 troublesome to catch among the stones. I have taken a few 

 Stenus canescens, Rosh. {major, Rey), by sweeping reeds on 

 the edge of a small lake near Navan Fort, and at Lowry's 

 Lough, where it was accompanied by ^S". pubescens and vS. 

 pallitarsis ; this last is by no means uncommon here. Les- 

 tevd sharpi I took from the under side of stones in the bed 

 of a little brook, but it is not common. 



In conclusion I may remark that I find moss most produc- 

 tive of Staphylinidae, and moss is fortunately very abundant 

 and luxuriant here. I am often astonished at the swarms 

 of insects which lodge in it. I append a list, but merely 

 to indicate the present state of affairs with regard to the 

 Staphylinidae.
