the New Forest by Mr. George Samouelle in September, 1821. One of these is in 

 my collection, the other in the National Collection at South Kensington. It is ad- 

 mirably figured in Curtis's British Entomology under the name of HcBtnohora 

 pallipes. Dr. B. White records its occurrence in Grlen Tilt in the Scottish Naturalist, 

 vol. iv, p. 185. An allied species, Hippohosca equina, Linn., occurs commonly in 

 the New Forest, but is not confined to it, as it is found as far west as Glanvillea 

 Wootton.— C. W. Dale, Glanvilles Wootton : December 10th, 1896, 



Pt/cnoscelus indicus at Bognor. — Mr. Guermonprez has recently shown me a 

 specimen of Fanchlora {Pyoioscelus) indicus, Fab., taken at a house in Bognor. It 

 is a wide spread insect, being apparently indigenous to India and Ceylon, but is also 

 found in the United States and in Mexico. I am not aware that this species has 

 been before taken in this country, but possibly it may yet become naturalized like 

 80 many other cockroaches. — Malcolm Bukb, Bellagio, East Grinstead : December 

 llth, 1896. 



Limnophilus elegans, C, at Rannoch. — My friend Mr. Wm. Eeid handed me 

 two specimens of Trichoptera which he had taken for me at Eannoch this year 

 during May in Carrie Wood ; these proved to be Neuronia ruficrus, Scop., and the 

 much rarer Limnophilus elegans, Curt. Of the latter he thinks that he saw more, 

 although he did not trouble about them, thinking that they might belong to a 

 common species. The capture of this latter species is of great interest, as it verifies 

 a record by Mr. McLachlan, who, in his " Trichoptera Britannica," says, " I saw 

 (but did not capture) a single specimen at the Black Forest, Rannoch." Probably 

 the reason why this sjjecies has eluded capture by Trichopterists at Rannoch is that 

 we do not visit the locality during the month of May, my own visits have hitherto 

 been during April and after the middle of June. — James J. F. X. King, 207, Sau- 

 chiehall Street, Glasgow : November, 1896. 



Great abundance of Salesus guttatipennis. — Nearly a year ago (Ent. Mo. Mag., 

 February, 1896, p. 41) I recorded the finding by my friend Mr. G. C. Dennis, of 

 York, of Halesus guttatipennis in profusion at Pickering, in North- East Yorkshire. 

 The species up to that time had been so exceedingly rare in Britain — only three 

 specimens having been recorded, and all taken singly — that I determined if possible 

 to visit the locality myself this autumn, to fill up my series, and also secure speci- 

 mens for all my Trichopterist friends. Mr. Dennis was at Pickering about October 

 20th, and found that the species was then out in large numbers ; but it was not 

 until the 28th that I was able to join him, and see its habits for myself. On that 

 morning I started off, although the previous night there had been keen frost, and the 

 ground was still perfectly white with it a great part of the journey from Huddersfield 

 to York, where I was joined by Mr. Dennis. We reached the ground at Pickering 

 about 11.30 a.m., by which time the sun fortunately was shining brightly, and we 

 soon found that my misgivings, owing to the frost, were quite groundless. Halesus 

 guttatipennis was seen to be flying freely (quite naturally, and without being dis- 

 turbed) in the sun, and settling on the bushes and hedgerow of hawthorn, on the 

 river side. The sun, however, very soon became overcast, and with it the flight of 

 the insect entirely ceased. Ou that account they were still easier to catch, as they
