(Marseul, 1862) is also a natural genus, the lypo being Cardnops minima, Aube, of 

 the Munich Catalogue ; I have met with only two species. The third genus is 

 ^a/acr?7«s (Schmidt, 1893), for ^lcrj7w* /Jttwr^M/M, Aube, and its allies. The name 

 of Marseul's genus is incorrectly given as Kisaiter by Gemminger and Harold, and 

 also by Scudder.— G. Lewis, Southampton : October 20th, 18 j7. 



Hyohates glabriventris and Odontcevs mobilicornis in Bucks. — On the afternoon 

 of June Gtii last [ met with two specimens of the former species wiiilst sweeping in 

 a somewhat moist and sheltered wood, situated between the Chiltern Hills and some 

 miles distant from this town. That this myrmecophilous species should be taken in 

 this manner is most likely accounted for by the fact, that the atmosphere at the 

 time was remarkably still and warm. On the morning of the same day I had noticed 

 one or two common species of Amara taking flight from the roadway in bright 

 sunshine, and rising some eight or nine feet into the air, not I believe a common 

 occurrence, and one which gives some idea of the state of the atmosphere. 



Odontceus mobilicornis. — During June of this year Dr. Churchill, of this town, 

 sent me a nice $ specimen of this rare beetle, which he captured in a room of his 

 house after dark, it havhig probably been attracted by light. — E. Geo. Elliman, 

 Chesham, Bucks : October 19th, 1897. 



Dytiscus lapponicus in the Island of 3Iull. — Having occasion to visit the Island 

 of Mull during July, I wended my way to the locality of Dytiscus lapponicus, and 

 was fortunate enough to secure a nice series for myself, leaving me with a few dupli- 

 cates for my friends. I noticed that the species was not to be captured except 

 during sunshine, and that the female was much the more scarce. — J. J. F. X. KiNQ, 

 207, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow: November, 1897. 



Acallia aspersana in Unst. — At page 234 of the present volume Mr. Meyrick 

 mentions having taken Acallia aspersana at Gairloch, Ross-shire. He says he thinks 

 it had not been previously recorded north of the Caledonian Canal. At page 8, vol. 

 vii (1896), I record the species as common on all the moors in the Island of TJnst.

Lepidoptera in south-east Dorset. — Since my former note was written (ante 

 p. 255) I have learnt from my brother that he saw a specimen of Colias Edusa at 

 Corfe Castle on October 16th. I might add that Fararge Egeria was decidedly 

 commoner than usual during September in south-east Dorset, and that Argynnis 

 Aglaia and Selidosema ericetaria (= pluniaria, Hb.) were, in their seasons, much 

 more plentiful in their haunts on the Purbeck Hills than I have ever seen them 

 before. — E. R. Bankes, Charlton House, Radstock : October 26th, 1897. 



Colias Edusa at Seaton. — What a mild autumn we have had ! A Colias Edusa 

 haunted our neighbouring cliffs, and was seen there as late as October 29th. — A. E. 

 Eaton, Woodlands, Seaton : November 10th, 1897. 



Coleophora potentillce, Stn., in Kent. — As there does not appear to be any 

 account published of Coleophora potentilla occurring in Kent, it may be of interest
