not quite so prominent, and the strise and punctures are more heavily 

 marked. The strise are indeed rather deeply impressed and equally so 

 over the whole width of the elytron, but all become less pronounced and 

 even obsolescent apically ; the same is true of the punctures which on the 

 basal half of the elytra are very heavy, making transverse creases in the 

 neighbouring interspaces, so that they are rather transverse than longitu- 

 dinal or even circular. The sutural stria is as in B. longulum, and the 

 texture of the surface of the interspaces, instead of being as in the modern 

 species almost structureless, is marked with a fine but decided cross-rib- 

 bing, verging upon reticulation. The colour is a rich carbonaceous with 

 a purplish tinge.

This species is mentioned here only to correct an error in my Tertiary 

 Insects, where it was credited to Scarboro', Ontario, on the shores of 

 Lake Ontario. It was really found by Dr. G. J. Hinde on the shores of 

 Lake Erie, near Cleveland, Ohio, in clay beds very similar to those of 

 Scarboro'.

A nearly perfect elytron with the humeral angle broken off represents 

 a carabid, probably related to Nebria. A species is indicated which is of 

 about the size of N. sahlhergi Fisch. The elytron is about two and a half 

 times longer than broad ; the surface is nearly smooth, piceous, with nine 

 stria;, which are rather deeply impressed, and a scutellar stria, which 

 unites with the first longitudinal stria at about one-sixth the distance 

 from the base, in su^ch a way as to make it appear equally forked in 

 passing toward the base, its outer fork striking close to the base of the 

 second longitudinal stria ; the fifth and sixth strife are united to each 

 other and to the united third and fourth strise, near the apex, by a wavy 

 continuation of the sixth, after it has bent toward the fifth in running 

 parallel to the seventh, as it curves toward and runs to tip of the elytron •
