Carabus akvensis F. 1 have two examples from Baildon Moor, one 

 taken April 1S97, -^I^- ^- Booth, and the other April 1898, by the 

 late B. lUin^-worth. They are much brighter in colour than my 

 Ingleboroug-h specimen previously recorded. 



CaRABLS CATEM LATrS Scop., C. NEMORALIS Mull., and C. VIOLACEUS L. 

 are all of frequent occurrence. Some seasons C. nemoralis is very 

 abimdant, being- found in every part of the district, and crushed dead 

 specimens are often found on pathways in the early morning-. 



Elaphrl"S clpreus Duft. Not uncommon on the marg-ins of ponds. 

 Baildon and near Cottingley Bridge. Banks of the Wharfe, Appletree- 

 wick, June 1900. 



Leistus rl'Fescens F. Previous to 1903 m}- experience of this species 

 led me to consider it almost a purel\- woodland insect, as I had always 

 found it amongst moss and dead leaves in damp woods. 



In June 1903, however, fine specimens were common under stones at 

 the foot of walls which cross Rombalds Moor. 



It is also recorded from ' Midgley Moor' by Dawson, probably on 

 the authority of ' S. Gibson.' 



Xebria Gvllenhalii Sch. Frequent on the high moors. 



Clivina collaris Herbst. So far I have only observed this species in 

 one locality — Saltaire — where I have taken it two or three years in 

 succession. 



Its ally — C. fossar L. is more g-enerally distributed. 

 Bembidium Rl'FESCENS Guer. Saltaire, 1903. 



BembidiUxM nigricorne Gvll. This rare northern species again turned up 

 in 1903, 19th May on Harden Moor (a new locality), and on 2nd June on 

 Rombalds Moor. 



Bembidium decori'M Panz. \'ery common at Burton-in-Lonsdale on the 

 banks of the Greta, in shingle, 23rd ]\Iav 1903, F. Jowett, W. Mann, 

 and J. W. C. 



Bembidium monticola Sturm. xA.bout half a dozen specimens on the 

 banks of the Greta, Burton-in-Lonsdale, in similar situation to the last. 

 F. Jowett, W. Mann, and J. ^^^ C, 23rd May 1903. 



Bembidium tibiale Duft. One on Simon Seat, in Wharfedale, 1886.

Greta, Burton-in-Lonsdale, 23rd May 1903. 

 Bembidium anglicanum Sharp. One on the ban]?: -.of the Greta, near 



Ingleton, ist June 1903. 

 Bembidium stomoides Dej. During 1903 I had the pleasure of taking 



this rare British ' Bembid' on the banks of the river Aire at Saltaire. 



Between 28th April and i6th May I took about eighteen specimens. 



They were found under stones and in river sand, into which they 



burrowed immediately on being disturbed. It is quite an interesting- 

 addition to the Airedale beetle fauna. 

 Pterostichus CUPREUS L. Common on the banks of the Wharfe, Apple- 



treewick, June 1900. 

 Pterostichus vitreus Dej. Harden M,oor (a, new locality), 19th May 



1903. Frequent on Rombalds Moor. _ ; , 

 Amara luxicollis Schiodte. One on Idle Moor, near Bradford, 1903, W. 



Mann. This— and other doubtful species — was kindly named for me 



by Mr. W. Holland, of the University Museiim, Oxford. 

 Pristonychus subcyaneous III. By no means an uncommon species in 



this district, occurring, not only in damp cottage cellars, but frequently. 



found in the cellars of warehouses ih the centre of the town, 



1904 May I,
