Callicerus rigidicornis, Grav., and other insects in BerJcshire.—On the day 

 (August 29th) on which Dr. Joy and I captured Bledius femoralis, the following 

 beetles also occurred : Bemhidiuin obliqiium, Sturm, Anchomenus gracilis, Gyll., 

 Aleochara maerens, Gyll., Homalota cainbrica, Woll., Thiasophila inquilina, Mark., 

 Dinarda dentata, Grav., Myrmedonia funesta, G-rav., M. cognata, Mark., and M. 

 lugens, Grav., and Callicerus rigidicornis, Er., the last named species I have always 

 found very scarce, although it appears to be widely distributed. — W. W. Fowlbk, 

 Reading : September 14<A, 1904'. 



Paiiagmus quadripustulatu.t, Sturm. — At the end of May I captured a speci- 

 men of this insect running across a drive at Rotherfield Peppard, Henley-on-Thames. 

 — Id. : September, 1904. 



Lochmxa suturalis, Thoms., var. nigrita, Weise. — Referring to Mr. Tomlin's 

 note in this month's Ent. Mo. Mag., p. 183, I have two specimens of the entirely 

 black variety of Lochmsea suturalis which I took near Kirknewton at the base of 

 the Pentland Hills in this County on May 3rd, 19U1. —William Evans, 38, 

 Morningside Park, Edinburgh : August \lth, 1904. 



Further captures of Odontxus mobilicornis, F., in Norfolk. — It may be worth 

 while putting on record that on August 5th, 1895, I took a fine female of this rare 

 Coleopteron. It was flying just before dusk about ten miles from King's Lynn. 

 Two other examples, both males, were taken in the same district about three years 

 ago. — Edwaed a. Atmoke, King's Lynn, Norfolk: September ISth, 1904. 



He-appearance of Cis bilamellatus. Wood, at West Wickham. —VfhWe cycling 

 through West Wickhara on the 25tb inst. I noticed the stump of a dead tree which 

 was covered with large fungi. It at once occurred to me that these might possibly be 

 tenanted by Cis bilamellatus, which I discovered just twenty years ago within half 

 a mile of the same spot ; and on pulling off one of the fungi I found the insect in 

 some plenty. Evidently it is well established in the district ; yet it seems odd that 

 no one else, apparently, should have met with it. — Theodoee Wood, The Vicarage, 

 Lyford Road, Wandsworth Common : August 'ilst, 1904. 



Mr. C. W. Dale's rare Trgpetidte. — The compositor, the proof-reader, or some- 

 body else, was at fault over this note {ante p. 212). 



Anomoea permundus, Harris, = antica, Wied. (not antiqua). — I am afraid that 

 the suggestion tliat Moses Harris called this species "purmundus" because the 

 wing markings resembled a map of the world can best be paralleled by the deriva- 

 tion of the genus of pretty plants Nemophila from " nemo" and " <Ji)tXos." As a 

 moi'e probable derivation the exceedingly clean appearance of the insect may have 

 suggested the name, but Harris failed to give it in a sufficiently orthographic form 

 for its acceptance. I have a specimen taken by Dr. Capron, probably from near 

 Guildford. It has also been taken by Dr. J. H. Wood at Mordiford. 



Aciura (not Acinea) rotundiventris. — I think " Lydford George " should be 

 Lidford Gorge. 



Spilographa abrotani was taken by Col. Yerbury at Stoke Wood in Hereford- 

 shire on Hemp Agrimony on August 20th, 1895.
