Lamprias chlorocephalus. Grassy meadows on the banks of the Trent, where, however, it is far from common.

Leistus rufescens. Abundant in damp woods near Gainsborough.

Pterostichus oblongo-punctatus. One specimen in Lee wood.

Nitidula obsoleta. In the greatest profusion in Lee wood, where, on a single fungus, 1 might have taken several hundred specimens, on the 20th of June, with Engis rufifrons.

Grammoptera ruficornis. In the utmost profusion throughout the whole northern part of the county.

Cassida sanguinolenta. Brushed a single specimen into my net from off a willow near the banks of the Trent.—This is the only instance of this insect having been taken in this part of Lincolnshire that I have heard of.
