 smaller size of the thorax, and very dissimilar punctuation.

Capture of Bembidium Mannerheimii in the North of Scotland. — In September, 

 1857, I caught a specimen of a Bembidium at Tair, in Koss-shire, which I could not 

 then determine ; however, on the appearance of Dr. Schaum's book I made it out to 

 be B. Mannerheimii, and my diagnosis has recently been confirmed by Mr. Water- 

 house. — Thomas John Bold ; Angas Court, Bigg Market, Newcastle-on-Tyne, May 28. 



Note on Trechus obtusus. — This recently-detected British insect appears to be not 

 rare in the North of England, as on examining my series of T. minutus I find one-half 

 of them to be T. obtusus, and taken in widely-separated localities. — Id. 



Capture of Mycetoporus nanus in Northumberland. — In the early part of this 

 month, and in April, I took four specimens of Mycetoporus nanus, Grav., which are 

 new to the British fauna. Of its habitat I can only say that it was- found in de- 

 pressions in the sand on the sea-shore near Hartley, and where it had apparently been 

 blown by the wind. Mr. Waterhouse informs me that a single pale example of the 

 same insect has been detected by Mr. E. C. Eye amongst insects taken near Croydon.
