126 THE entomologist's record. 



find odd ones every time we go for the species. Such late specimens 

 are never in good condition. — J. N. Young, Rotherham. 



I have gone through my note hooks, and find the following are my 

 records, dates, and localities for T. crepu><cularia [biundularia). I have 

 visited Edlington in March and April, and have never then found the 

 species, and as recently as 1895, I was there in July and August, but 

 never saw a Tephnma. The dates I have are as follows : At Edlington. 

 — 1871: May 19th; 1873: June 12th; 1874: May 10th, 26th and 

 31st ; 1875 : May 9th ; 1876 : June 6th-24th (I began this year to take 

 darker ones) ; 1877 : May 22nd (only saw one specimen this year) ; 

 1880 : May 2nd-June 5th (plentiful) ; 1884 : June 6th (scarce) ; 

 1887: June 7th, 15th and 17th (plentiful); 1888: May 26th, June 

 13th-25th (plentiful) ; 1890 : June 5th ; 1894 : June 18th (some nice 

 dark aberrations) ; 1895 : May 24th (some nice dark abs.). At Lamb- 

 wood, Barnsley.— 1881 : May 23rd. At Thorne.— 1890 : May 26th. 

 AtDoncaster — 1891 : June 12th (some dark specimens) ; 1892 : June 

 6th (dark, but worn) ; 1893 : May 9th-12th (some dark aberrations). 

 — J. Harrison, F.E.S., Barns)ey. 



I generally get biundnlaria about the middle of May. In 1893, 

 I saw it as early as the middle of April, but this is very unusual. 

 The species that I take on the tree trunks at the same time as T. cre- 

 jnifundcnia [hinndularia) are Dciftijchira pudibwula, Odontopera hidentata, 

 Cidaria corylata and C. silaceata. — H. H. Corbett, M.R.C.S., F.E.S.,

®^OLEOPTERA. 



Coleoptera taken in the Carlisle district in 1897. 



By F. H. DAY AND JAMES MURRAY. 



The species mentioned in this paper have all been taken within a 

 few miles of the city of Carlisle, with the exception of some few which 

 have occurred at Allonby, on the Solway Firth, Keswick, and one or 

 two other places, which are duly given with the species to which they 

 apply. Many species, probably abundant, have only been noticed 

 sparingly, as during the most productive part of the year our attentions 

 were taken up with the Lepidoptera. The water beetles were quite 

 neglected. To Mr. E. A. Newbery our best thanks are due, for assis- 

 tance in determining some of the more obscure species. — Cicindela 

 campestris : Locally common in peaty and sandy situations. Cychrns 

 rostrah(!< : One, under a stone. ( 'arabtis catenulatus : Several, at 

 " sugar." C. riolacetia : One, taken on the wing, and another dug up 

 in a garden. C. nemoralis : Several dug up at tree roots, etc. 

 Nntiop/dbtfi bif/itttatus : Common at tree roots, etc. Nebria breviadlis : 

 Common under stones. LciMm fidoibarbis : Among dead leaves, and 

 under stones near woods. L. rufesccns : Two, among dead leaves. 

 FAapItnis mipreus : Scarce at tree roots, and among damp refuse. 

 Clirina fossor and (J. collaris : Common under stones, Bmsais 

 cephalotcs : Common among refuse on the coast. Baduter bipustulatus : 

 Uncommon under stones. Bradi/cellus rerbasci : One, at root of a tree. 

 B. coipiatus : One, at roots of reeds. B. Iiarpalmna : Not uncommon at 

 roots of reeds, and in flood refuse. Harpalus ruficornia, H. aenens and 

 il. latus ; Common on paths and under stones, H, rufibarbis ; One,
