Pterostichus oblongopunctatus Germ. This species was 

 recorded for Askham Bryan, in 1830, by Mr. A. Wright 

 (vide Loudon's Mag., 1831, iv., 165) ; but the most 

 persevering scrutiny has failed to discover it there during 

 the last fifty years.

Pterostichus madidus F. It is hardly necessary to give 

 localities for an insect which lurks under nearly every stone, 

 but I do it for uniformity's sake. I once had a curious 

 proof of its abundance. I had occasion to sink a small 

 glass globe in the soil in my garden at York. Looking into 

 it a few days after, I found quite a pile of these insects at 



Trans.y.N.U., 1885 (pub. 1887). Series D. Vol. 3.
