Armagh, Fermanagh. Meath, and Roscommon, so that the present is its 

 most westerly record. 



Philonthus addendus Sharp. — Mulranny (W. F. J.). Taken on the beach 

 in June, 1910. This is its first recorded occurrence in the west 

 of Ireland, though otherwise it is widely distributed through the 

 . country. 



P. longicorais Steph. — Clare Island (W. E.J.). Doo Lough (L. B.W.) 

 Westport (J.N. H.;. 



Like the preceding, this species has not been previously recorded 

 from the west of Ireland, nor does it seem to have been met with to the 

 south of Dublin. 



P. nigrita Nord. — Castlebar Lough ( J. N. H,) . A remarkable form of this 

 species was met with on the shores of this lake. It is smaller than the 

 type, and has the elytra and abdomen more finely punctured. Dr. D. Sharp, 

 to whom we have submitted specimens, supposes that it must be referable 

 to the present species ; but he has seen no other like it. Similar forms 

 were taken in the Belfast district by Mr. Buckle. 



Cafius fucicola Curt. — Achill ( W. F. J.). Taken on the sandy beach at 

 Dugort among seaweed. This species is found locally round the Irish 

 coast, being rarer than the allied C. xantlioloma. Abroad it ranges 

 along the south and west coasts of England. Wales, and Scotland, 

 occurring also in the Isle of Ham Apparently it has been recorded only 

 from the British and French coasts (fide Eeitter, 1906). 



Xantholinus tricolor F. — Westpoit (J. X. H.) Taken in the demesne among 

 decaying seaweed, which seems to be its common habitat. 



Baptolinus alternans Grav. — "Westport (J. N. H.). A single specimen was 

 taken under the bark of a decayed fir-tree in the demesne. It has not 

 been previously recorded from the west of Ireland, nor is there any record 

 of it between Fermanagh and Cork. 



Evaesthetus lae'viusculus Mann. — Delphi (J. N. H.). Taken in moss. This is 

 quite a western species in Ireland, for the only other record is from 

 Leenane, which is practically in the same district, where it was found in 

 flood-refuse from the Erriff river in April. 



Stenus Juno F — Mr. W. E. Sharp in the " Irish Naturalist " (vol. xix, p. 247. 

 1910) recorded Stenus aier Mann., from Castlebar Lough. He now informs 

 us that the specimens are referable to the present species. 



S. lustrator Er. — Achill (J. H. X.). Taken on the summit of Slievemore in 

 ApriL Scarce in Ireland : there is but one other record, which is from 

 Fermanagh.
