Bembidiwm stomoides, Dej. Recorded, on the authority 
of Mr. Gregson, from the river Alt, at Hightown. 
Bembidium pallidipenne, Ill. Very abundant in spring 
on the shore at Crosby and Hightown, under rejectamenta. 
Bembidium flammulatum, Ol. Mr. Smedley and myself 
have taken a few specimens of this species, beneath rejecta- 
menta, on the bank of the Alt, at Hightown. 
Bembidium variwm, Ol. The only specimen I know to 
have occurred in our district was one which I found under 
a stone on Middle Hilbre Island, in May, 1875. 
Bembidwm paludosum, Panz. ‘A single specimen from 
Raby Mere, April, 1858” (C.8. G.). 
Tachys parvulus, De}. A single specimen of this species 
was found by Mr. J. H. Smedley in his greenhouse, and 
believed by him to have been introduced along with some 
roots of Parnassia palustris, which he had brought the 
previous day from the Wallasey sandhills. 
This is the only specimen of this species known to have 
been captured in England; but another species (7. quadri- 
signatus) has also found a place in the British list, on the 
authority of a single specimen from South Shields. In his 
British Coleoptera, Mr. Fowler comments on the possibility 
of Tachys being introduced along with ballast; but if Mr. 
Smedley’s suggestion as to the original locality of his 
specimen be correct, this explanation can scarcely account 
for its presence at Wallasey, for the Parnassia grows at 
least five miles from the nearest ballast. 
Patrobus excavatus, Payk. Plentiful at Club Moor, 
West Derby (R. W.). : 
Pogonus littoralis, Dufts. ‘‘ Under stones on the shore 
at Hastham and Garston” (C.8. G.).
