Page 54. Sp. 15. +Carabus auronitens. Of this insect I state, "This 

 splendidly-brilliant species has long been traditionally reputed a native of 

 Britain; and I have recently been informed that Mr. H. Griesbach has a 

 specimen, which was lately taken near Dover, but I have not seen it." — 

 Vide Obs. on the next species. 



Page 55. Sp. 16. Carabus auratus. "Exmouth, Devon, Canterbury, and 

 near Dover — Mr. H. Griesbach: this specimen is stated by Mr. Stephens to 

 be the C- auronitens of Fab., a species that has never been found in 

 England." — Cu?-tis, fol, 446. The quotation above sufficiently refutes this 

 misrepresentation.
