previousl}' in Irelaud by myself from Ardara {Ent. Mo. Mag., 

 xxviii., pp. 310-31 1 ). B. Juscipcs, B. lo7igulus, B. ermticus, 

 Lesteva longelyirata\, and Homaliuvi riparium which exhibited 

 some small forms. We found no burying beetles nor any 

 Silphas except S. subrotundata, in fact this section was very 

 poorly represented ; we got a few Hister carbonarms\ and 

 Saprinus ce7ieus\ in cow-dung ; Coccinella xi-punctaia were 

 evidently not emerged as we saw but few. Besides this I may 

 note C. vii-pu7ictata, Rhizobius litura^ Coccidula rufa, and 

 Meligethes csneus. Aphodii were fairly well represented, eight 

 species being obtained, viz., A. fossorj, A. foetens, A. 

 fimetariiis, A. scybatarius, A. ater, A. pusillus\ (very abundant, 

 has only been known from Antrim and Down vide Irish Iyist\ 

 p. 731), A. rufipes and A. depressus. Other lyamellicorns were 

 Geotrupes stercorarius, Serica bi'uymea, and Plylloperiha horticola. 

 Only one species of skip-jack was met with — the common 

 but handsome Corymbites cupreus. Do7iacia sericea was very 

 abundant on Iris in a little stream, and D. simplex'^., F. was 

 taken on the shore of one of the lakes, and in the same 

 locality Phcsdoii ai'inoracice* , I,. Longitarsus was represented 

 by L. jacobcEiS 2im\ L. lcevis\, both pretty plentiful on the sand- 

 hills. Mrs. Johnson took a single Nacerdcs melanufa\ on the 

 point at DrumclifiF Bay, and might have got more but that 

 she thought it was Telephorus fulvus, to which it bears a 

 resemblance. I had hoped to meet with the large white form 

 of Ph^lopcudon gertihiatus, but could only find the type ; 

 Poophagus sisymbrii* was captured by sweeping water-plants 

 in the little stream mentioned above. 



I have to thank Mr. J. J. Walker, F.I,.S., for kind help 

 with some of the critical species.
