rest have them adorned with various elevations and depressions, as 

 in Elaphrus : they frequent damp sandy situations, chiefly on the 

 coast. 



J Sp. 1. paludosum. Fusco aid cupreo-asneum, elytris subtiliter punctato-striatis y 

 fossulis impressis duahus quadratic aurato-viridibus. (Long corp. 2^ — 2f lin.)

Broader and larger than the other indigenous species : head, thorax, and elytra 

 brassy : antenna fuscous : head smooth : thorax with an impressed stria in 

 the middle: elytra punctate-striated; with several remote, smooth, obscure 

 spots between the strife, and two quadrate golden ones on each elytron between 

 the first pair of striae : legs golden : body beneath obscure aeneous. 



Very few indigenous specimens are preserved in collections; 

 there is a fine series in the British Museum cabinet, taken by Dr. 

 Leach at Swansea. Mr. Hawortk has one, found, I believe, in 

 Yorkshire. " Near Berkeley-castle, Gloucester." — Rev. F. W.

Greenish-brass, slightly glossy, and thickly punctulate : head porrect, with an 

 impressed line on each side between the eyes : thorax rather convex, aeneous,

 before, and behind, violet, and slightly elevated : body beneath of a shining 

 blue-brass : legs pale rufescent, with the tips of the femora seneous, and the 

 tarsi obscure : the antennae fuscous, with the first joint and base of the three 

 following testaceous. 



Of this insect, which is the Cicindela striata of Marsham, I have 

 hitherto seen only my own injured specimen, which I obtained from 

 that gentleman's collection : I am, however, ignorant of its locality.
