APPENDIX. 371 



supposed to have been the former insect I stated at the time were only- 

 varieties of C. rostratus ; and Mr. Stephens has since acknowledged the 

 admission of the latter to be a mistake of his own." I beg the reader, 

 therefore, to refer to my observations in page 46 of my first volume, under 

 each of the species respectively. 



Page 48, note. jCarabus purpurascens. This insect has been taken near 

 Weymouth by Mr. Saunders. 



Page 49. fCARABus agrestis.? — Curtis, in folio 446, says, '' Mr. Samouelle 

 informs me this is not the C. agrestis, the insect described by Mr. Stephens." 

 In the place quoted it is called C. Lippii of Dahl : whether it be so I have no 

 means of ascertaining : in page 49 I leave it in doubt. 



Page 50. Carabus monilis, var. /3. This appears to be a distinct species from 

 var. a, as presumed in this page : I therefore retain Panzer's name, Ca. 

 consitus, as given in my Nomenclature. 



Page 50. Carabus cancellatus. Upon a re-examination of the synonyma of 

 this and the following species, they appear to have been partially reversed: 

 this may be Ca. granulatus of Linne, doubtingly placed by me to the next 



insect. 



Page 51. Carabus granulatus, Linne? — This is Ca. cancellatus of Illiger, a« 

 referred to in my Catalogue, No. 67. 



Page 52. Sp. 9 a. Carabus exasperatus. Curtis, x. pi. 446. — Ater oblongus, 

 thoracis elytrorumque margine violaceo, elytris lineis numerosis longitudina- 

 libus interstitiis punctatis. (Long. corp. 1 unc.) 



"Black, shining, head and thorax finely wrinkled, the latter broad and sub- 

 quadrate, reticulated, distinctly and thickly punctured on the sides, which 

 are blue and violaceous, with a channel down the centre : elytra with nume- 

 rous fine longitudinal elevated lines, with punctures between them, scabrous 

 towards the apex, the margin reflexed and violet colour ; pubescence of 

 antennae ferruginous : claws, spurs, and mandibles, partially castaneous." — 

 Curtis, I. c. 



Taken "under a block of stone near a quarry in the Isle of Portland, in June." 

 Curtis, I. c I have a pair corresponding with the above description (which 

 differs from De Jean's, who lays considerable stress upon the diagnosis of 

 three elevated, and occasionally interrupted lines only on each elytron,) found 

 near London in the spring. 



Page 53. Sp. 11 a. tCARABUs hortensis. Linne, S. N. ii. 668.— This is the 

 same as Sp. 13, Ca. gemmatus, Fabricivs, of which the description appears 

 in the note in page 53. It has lately been taken in the north of England. 



Page 53. Sp. 12. Carabus hortensis, Fabricius.—lhxs is Ca. nemoralis, 

 Illiger, as stated in my Catalogue, No. 72; and as the Linncan species 

 appears to be difForent from the Fabrician, as above shown, Illiger's name 

 must be rttaliicrt for this insect.
