cellaris, wticli were flying towards evening, and settled on Mrs. 

 Johnson's dress, and one CMcenius nigricornis under a stone. I spent 

 a week at Keady, which is a few miles from this, but much higher ; 

 here I found at Clay Lake Felophila borealis, Bemhidium punctulatum, 

 B. atrocoeruleum, and an AncJwmenus, which looks like gracilipes. 

 About Keady I also took Agahus ungulcularis, A. guttatus, Megaster- 

 num boletophagiim, Agriotes obscurus, Hypera trilineata, H. polygoni, 

 S. rumicis, Sitones Jlavescens, Alophus triguttatus, and Qastropliysa 

 raphani. A drive to Loughgall procured me, with other things, 

 Adrastus limbafus, Baridius T-album, and Galeruca tenella ; and a 

 wet day at Portneligan, a quantity of Gassida equestris and Phratora 

 vulgatissima, also Baridius T-album. The only home captures worth 

 mention are : Haliplus flavicollis, Gyrinus minufus, G. marinus, G. 

 bicoJor, Coeliodes qwadrimaculatus^ and Apioii craccce. 



August was not quite a blank, for I took CryptopTiagus dentatus, 

 Adimonia tanaceti, and Apion humile. His Grace the Primate gave 

 me a couple of Necrophorus ruspator, which he got under a dead corn- 

 crake, and one of my pupils brought me Hovialium concinnuin and 

 CryptopTiagus scanicus. 



September's best captures were : Bembidium 5-striafum, Hydro- 

 chus eJongatus, Octhebius pygmceus, Hippodamia IS-pusiulata, Enicmus 

 fra?isversus, Donacia dentata. Thy amis Tiolsatica (in moss), Apion 

 carduorum, A. striatum, A. immune, A. tenue, A. subulatum, A. frumen- 

 tarium, CeutliorTiynclius viduatus, and Erirhinus cethiops ; of this last 

 I took a considerable number on the leaves of Jm^sew^acorws and 

 Sparganium ramosum, in the Mullinures. 



October's work produced a single specimen of Hydroporus Davisii, 

 two of Philhydrus testaceus, one of Dytiscus punctulutus, one of 

 Donacia sericea, along with several Stenus pubescens, S. binotatus, S. 

 pallitarsis, and Thyamis Jiolsatica. 



For November I have but little to record, the only capture new 

 to my list being Phyllotreta tetrastigma. Besides this, my most 

 important capture was Bembidium Clarhii, which I got in moss from 

 the Mullinures ; along with it occurs another Bembidium, which I 

 erroneously recorded as B.fumigatum (p. 16). It is, however, cer- 

 tainly -aoi fumigatum, and it has been suggested to me that it is merely 

 an immature form of B. Clarhii. As this opinion is advanced by those 

 more experienced than myself, I do not like to dissent, but I have kept 

 two of these beetles alive for more than three weeks, and they show no 

 signs of becoming more like Clarhii now than at first, so I am, if 

 possible, more puzzled than ever.
