'. Curraun Achill includes the whole of the eastern side of Achill Sound. 

 "We have placed Clare Island first in each case, so that the species occurring 

 in the island can be at once picked out. 



In the complete list of species from the district, which now follows, we 

 have adopted the arrangement and nomenclature of Fowler and Sharp's 

 "Catalogue of British Coleoptera" (1893). 



Some critical notes on new British species of Gabrius and Parnus have 

 recently appeared in the " Entomologists' Monthly Magazine." The available 

 material from the Clare Island district is not sufficient to permit a satisfactory 

 treatment of these genera in the present paper. 



In the more extended notes on certain species of special interest which 

 follow, we have made use of the following initial to indicate the captors of the 

 specimens : —
