Sydrothassa hannoverana, F., in Cumberland.— I met with this species on June 

 2nd last, on Caltha palustris, near Little Salkeld, in the valley of Eden. Though 

 it occurred in tolerable abundance, I only set a limited number of specimens, and 

 on a return visit to the locality three weeks later, the species was not to be seen. 

 Previously it appears to have only been found in Britain, in Yorkshire, but not, I 

 believe, for some years. — F. H. Day, 6, Currock Terrace, Carlisle : Sept. 22nd, 1900. 



Bembidium varium, 01., in Cumberland. — In Canon Fowler's work on the 

 Coleoptera of the British Isles, the most northern locality of this species is given as 

 Spurn Head, in Yorkshire. It may, therefore, be of interest to note that I took it 

 freely last May on muddy places on Skinburness Marsh, at the Estuary of the 

 Eden.— Id. 



Philonthus punctus, Gr., ^c, at Gravesend. — During the afternoon of Septem- 

 ber 18th I had the opportunity of doing a little collecting on the marshes below 

 Gravesend, and under clods and dried up weeds in a perfectly dry pond, I was lucky 

 enough to turn up a few nice insects. Single specimens of P. punctus, G-r., and of 

 Anisodactylus 'pCBciloides, Steph., were found (this is a locality in which both these 

 insects were found by Dr. Power and other collectors in the old days) accompanied 

 by immense numbers of Agabus conspersus, Marsh., and Ccslamhus parallelogrammus, 

 Ahr., and a specimen of Copelatus agilis, P. The soil was only faintly damp under 

 this refuse ; everywhere else the marshes were too dry and parched to make 

 collecting of any use, the only other insects seen being both species of Dichirotrichus 

 under stones on the river bank. — T. Hudson Beare, King's Road, Richmond, 

 Surrey: October 4«i, 1900. 



Coleoptera and Hemiptera in the Neio Forest. — Among the insects taken during 

 the last fortnight of August near Holmsley, New Forest, the following seem worthy 

 of record : — Velleius dilatattts, F., under a stone, probably near a hornet's nest, as 

 I saw several hornets in the immediate vicinity. Nanophyes gracilis, Redt. 

 Agrilus laticornis. 111., fairly common on oak. Helops caeruleus, L., in numbers in 

 fallen oak. Kalyzia l6-guttala, L. Coranus suhapterus, De Gr. (developed form). 

 Monanthia 4!-maculata, Wolff. Calocoris infusus, H.-Sch., numerous on oak. — 

 William E. Ryles, 11, Waverley Mount, Nottingham : October 2th, 1900. 



Coreus denticulatus, Sco})., at Lincoln. — A few days ago I found a specimen of 

 Coreus denticulatus, Scop, {hirticornis, D. and S.). on my doorstep at Lincoln. I 

 have never seen the species in the district before, and it has not yet been recorded 

 from any place so far north. It has mostly occurred in the South of England, but 

 has been taken near Birmingham by the late Mr. Blatch, and on Mousehold Heath, 

 Norfolk, by Mr. Edwards.— W. W. Fowler, Lincoln : October I7th, 1900. 



Odonata of East Sussex. — Since the publication of my paper, ante p. 150, 

 Mr. E. Connold has taken the following species : — Sympetrutn sanguineum, Miill., 

 Guestling. Anax imperator. Leach, several at Guestling. Calopteryx splendens, 

 Ilarr., Ashburnham. Enallagma cyathigerum, Chai'p., Ashburnham. — E. N. 

 Bloomfielu, Guestling Rectory : October, 1900.
