Note on a recorded capture of Carabus cancellatus, III., in Britain. — Through 

 the kindness of Prof. Poiilton I am now enabled to answer the qiiestion asked 

 at p. 110, anted,. From the Trans. Ent. Soc. London for 1879, p. xlviii, I learned 

 that the collection of the Eev. W. Tylden had been acquired for the Hope 

 Collection at Oxford. I tlierefore wrote to the Hope Professor to ask if this 

 particular specimen was still included. He very kindly replied informing me 

 that it " is not to be found. The Tylden Collection is almost entirely of weevils. 

 It is true that there were a very few Carabidse, but we have not found the one 

 you name among them."— E. Gr. Batford, 2, Eockingham Street, Barnsley :

Atheta hybrida, Sharp, in Scotland.— Seven specimens of this insect (four 

 ^ S and three ? ? ) were taken by me at sap on a tree in Dalmeny Park on 

 November 4th. As stated by Ganglljauer, the S has a short median keel at 

 the base of the 7th (5th visible) dorsal i^late. — M. Cameron, Royal Naval

Chrysomela fastuosa. Scop., in Devon. — This interesting addition to the 

 county list of Coleoptera was made by Alderman W. P. Hiern, Chairman of the 

 Botanic Section, Devonshire Association, in the parish of High Bray, N. Devon, 

 on September 13th. It occurred at an altitude of abovit 1,090 feet on Galeopsis 

 tetrahit, L. Only one example was seen. The specimen was given to Mr. C. W. 

 Bracken, B.A,, F.E.S., who has very kindly passed it on to me. — James H. Keys, 

 7, Whimple Street, Plymovith : November \2th, 1913. 



A recent record of Eudecttis whitei, Sharp, from Inglehorough, Yorkshire. — 

 Mr. E. W. Morse, (The Naturalist, 1913, p. -iOl) records the capture of a 

 specimen of E. whitei on Inglehorough, on July 1st. It was found crawling 

 beneath an overhanging ledge of rock during a heavy shower. The type of 

 this species was figured in Ent. Mo. Mag., 1910, plate IV, figs. 2, 2a, and it 

 would be interesting to know whether the Yorkshire insect is in all respects 

 similar to the Scottish one, E. tvhitei having been sunk as a variety of 

 E. giraudi, Eedt., in the last European Catalogue. — G. C. Champion, Horsell, 

 Woking: November 15th, 1913. 



Thinobius lo7igic6rnis, Joy : a correction. — I am indebted to Dr. E. Bei'groth 

 for pointing out to me that the name longicornis (ante, p. 156) has already been 

 used by G. J. Sahlberg for a Thinobius. I therefore projjose to give the name 

 T. macroceros to my species. Nokman H. Jot, Bradfield, Berks: November 

 lOth, 1913. 



Xantholinus substrigosus, Joy: a correction — I hasten to correct a bad 

 mistake I made in my article on Xantholinus ochraceus and its allies {ante, 

 p. 224). Having my attention particularly drawn to the fine sculpturing in 

 X. scoticus, I noticed the differences in this character in two other forms before 

 me. I supposed that Coleopterists had not noticed the much more obvious
