COLEOPTERA. — As usual in tlie month of August, Coleoptera were scarce, 

 and thougli I had the pleasure of a day's hunting with tlie Rev. H. S. Gorham, we 

 turned up very little. The only species of interest were the following : — Triphyllus 

 punctatus, Fabr. ; Halyzia conglobata, L. ; Triplax russica, L. ; Conopalpus 

 testaceus, 01., one broken example ; Scaphidium 4-maculatum, 01.; TAodes hume-

 sylvaticus, Panz. ; Balaninus venosus, Grav. ; Agrilus angustulus. 111. ; Crioceris 

 asparagi, L., I found specimens of this pretty beetle on every patch of asparagus I
