Crt/ptophagus ctflindrus, Kies., at Chohham. — I am pleased to be able to record 

 the capture of two specimens of this species in Surrey, the first British examples 

 from south of the Tweed. They were found under bark of pine logs, in company 

 with Ilypophloeus linearis, F., Epurxa ohlonga, Herbst, and E. pusilla. III. — Ii>. 



Cartodere elongata, Curt., Sfc.,from the North of England. — Yesterday I had 

 tlie pleasure of taking a single specimen of the above beetle from a mould fungus 

 growing on a log of Scotcli jiine infested by Trypodendron lineatum, 01., which my 

 friend Mr. Gillanders of Alnwick, with whom I was slaying, was rearing. At the 

 same time we found a dead example of Kypophlijuia hicolor, 01., another addition 

 to our county's fauna. We spent some time watching and searching the Trypoden- 

 dron logs for the parasitic beetles, Epitrxa angastula, Er., and Acrulia injiata, 

 Gyll., without success. E. angmtula has been met with again in the Derwent 

 Valley, in fungus with Trip lax bicolor at Gibside, growing on a beech infested with 

 Trypodendron domesticum. 



I should perhaps mention that Mr. Gillanders has discovered Trypodendron 

 lineatum in profusion in spruce, at Lytliam, near Eelford, and in Scotch pine at 

 Countess Park, North Tyne ; Tomicus aciimlnatus , Gyll., which I have already 

 recorded from the neighbouring County of Durham, also in numbers, Beanley 

 Wood, Northumberland, July, 1906 ; whilst Mr. A. C. Forbes has taken Cryphalus 

 ableti.i, Ratz., in Douglas fir from Cockle Park, Northumberland ; all of whieli, as 

 well !i8 many other Scolytids, will be fully dealt with in Mr. Gillanders' fortiicoming 

 work on E"orest Entomology,* a work which will fill a want that has long been felt 

 by many classes of Economic Naturalists, and cannot fail to interest the general 

 reader. 



The Cryphalus tiliic, Panz., recorded in my paper on Introduced Beetles (Ent. 

 Mo. Mag., vol. xlii, p. 37) I now learn was taken by Mr. Gardner at birch sap, 

 Eggleslone-in-Teesdale. — Eichaed S. Bagnall, The Groves, Winlaton-on-Tyne : 

 September Qth, 1907. 



Enicmus fungicola, Th.,from the County of Durham. — Some time ago I noticed 

 a species of Enicmus in my friend Mr. Gardner's collection labelled '* ruyosus, 

 Herbst," but which differed from tlie true rugosus in the colour of the elytra which 

 were ferruginous-red instead of black. I Iiad the opportunity of examining one 

 closely tills evening ; the raised keel of the prosternum between the anterior coxae, 

 the chief cliaraeter of Enicmus, i. sp., was very distinct, and also the strong punctua- 

 tion of tlie metasternum and first abdominal segment, but the first ventral segment 

 was simple, and there is no doubt that it is really E. fungicola, Th., the species 

 brought forward as British by Mr. Newbery in May, 1907 (Ent. Mo. Mag., ser. 2, 

 xviii, p. 103). Mr. Gardner's short series of this insect was taken by himself from 

 a tree fungus at i''gglestone-in-Teesdale. — Id. 



Heuoticus serratus, Gyll., from Scotland. — As so very few specimens of this 

 rare beetle have been taken in Britain, it is worth while recording its occurrence at 

 Arroehar, Loch Long, where I took an example in July, 1906. — Id. 



Sypera tigrina, Boh., at St. Margaret's Bay. — Before starting for iny summer
