362 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



on to Killaloe on the Shannon, and about six miles from 

 there — on the banks of Lough Derg, on the left side, in a 

 marshy place, on the 29th May — I found six specimens of 

 Chlaenius holosericeus running in the sunshine ; this is the 

 only really rare species I met with in Ireland : it has not, I 

 believe, been taken for about thirty-five years, when a few 

 specimens were then found in the fens of Cambridge, by Dr. 

 Power and others. From this place I proceeded to Killarney, 

 where I collected a few hours only, and principally on the 

 margins of the Middle and Upper Lake ; but Phosphaga 

 subrotundata was crawling on the dusty road. After staying 

 three days at Killarney I proceeded to Rosbeigh, about 

 sixteen miles : this place is near the sea-shore, and looked 

 promising; but it was very disappointing, as will be seen by 

 the list. Although Ireland is rich in some plants, I did not 

 meet with the great variety that are to be found in the South 

 of England and on our coast, which accounts for the limited 

 number of species of insects. I have no doubt, however, any 

 good collector visiting the places, and really working hard, 

 would turn up many other species, and probably a few 

 rarities amongst them.
