slight restriction,* the boundary selected by the authors of 
the last ‘‘ Flora of Liverpool.” 
The arrangement adopted in the following list is mainly 
that of the catalogue of British Coleoptera by the Rev. 
Canon Fowler and the Rev. A. Matthews. 

COLHOPTERA. 
GHODEPHAGA. 
CICINDELIDA. 
Cicindela campestris, L. Of occasional occurrence in 
early summer on Bidston Hill, and on other heaths and 
mosses. That this species hibernates is indicated by the 
fact that Mr. Wilding has taken it, in a torpid condition, 
in early spring, under stones on Thurstaston Heath. 
Cicindela hybrida, Li. Common on the sandhills on 
both sides of the Mersey. It seems to prefer the barest 
hills and those nearest the shore, and can there be found 
throughout the summer flying in the hottest sunshine. 
The var. marituma, Dej., has been erroneously recorded 
as occurring in our neighbourhood by Fowler (Brit. Col., 
VOlN ly, p74): 
CARABID. 
Cychrus rostratus, L. Of very occasional occurrence in 
widely separated localities. Mr. Gregson records it as 
common in woods. | 
Carabus auratus, Li. I have a specimen of this daubt- 
fully indigenous species which was captured in Edgehill, 
and given me by Mr. Gregson. This insect is probably 
introduced along with vegetables from the Continent, 
where it is abundant. 
* The ‘‘Flora of Liverpool” comprises, in addition to that portion men- 
tioned, the country within a circle of two miles’ radius round Southport.
