latter, even though in a faded condition, rather than attack the former when freshly 

 procured. I have not been able to find any sorrel at or near to the locality where the 

 insect breeds. When I captured it several years ago, I believed il to be a distinct 

 species from Ino Statices. Now, as the larvae hybernate, and from the foregoing facts 

 and peculiarities in its history, I am the more confirmed in my former belief that it is 

 totally distinct from Ino Statices. — Abraham Edmunds; The Tything, Worcester,

 have been very glad to have availed myself of the information it contains. — Edward

Dyschirius elongatulus at Deal. — I have the pleasure of recording the capture, 

 at Deal, towards the end of May last, of a fine pair of Dyschirius elongatulus, 

 Dawson. This rarity I discovered while digging up the burrows of the conspicuous 

 and abundant Bledius tricornis, in the immediate neighbourhood of Sandown Castle. 

 My other captures were few and unimportant. — H. Montague ; Stockwell, July 15.
