records to the " Irish List." 
Nearly all my collecting was done in the " Kenmare 
Demesne," a rather extensive, well-wooded, and somewhat

town to the eastern shore of the Lower Lake, . to which 
access ma^^ be obtained by anyone upon the payment of a 
small fee. Although a generally admitted unfavourable 
year for insects, and some six weeks late for the best season 
for Coleoptera, I was certainly disappointed with the 
rather meagre results of my week's work. In places near 
the lake shore where a variety of aquatic plants grew, 
and great masses of Meadow-sweet and Loose-strife were 
in full bloom, and with bright sunshine, an hour's sweeping
