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

 procured. 1 have not heen able to find any sorrel at or near to the locality where the

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,

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

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