adopted the arrangement of Mr. Stephens as the 

 most satisfactory. Three Entomologists of dif- 

 ferent countries have given different types of the 

 genus Bembidium ; Illiger refers to Paludosum 

 Panzer, Latreille to Striatum Fab., and De Jean to 

 Laterale Leach. Mr. Kirby in his Fauna Boreali 

 Americana, exalts Peryphus into a family, which 

 he denominates Peryphidse. In the following 

 Fabrician Carabidse the genera composing it will 

 be given. 



Sp. 36. Mertdianus. — Now a Trechus of Clair- 

 ville. Latreille and De Jean use the term Acupal- 

 pus, and Erichson that of Bradycellus ; the 

 second name ought to be abandoned, although 

 used by the Prince of Entomologists. 



Sp. 37. Testaceus. — Most likely an Epaphius of 

 Leach, and probably a pale variety of C. secalis. In 

 this opinion Mr. Stephens seems to accord. In a 

 note in the Synonymia Insectorum of Schonherr, 

 some additional remarks occur respecting this 

 species. 



Sp. 41. 4>-maculatus, —Now belonging to the genus 

 Dromius ; according to my views Dromius should 

 be raised to the rank of a sub-family ; in habits 

 they are Lebiadous, and at first sight they may be 

 distinguished from the latter by their elongated
