at Buddon Wood, and Canon Fowler considered the latter doubtfully 

 indigenous (Coleoptera Brit. Islands, vol. v, p. 193). Pacliyta seos- 

 maculata, Linn., has also now been taken in two fresh localities in 

 Scotland (Ent. Mo. Mag., xxxvi, pp. 235, 287). 



It is perhaps worth noting that two old Stephensian difficulties 

 have been cleared up in the identification of Anomala Donovani, 

 Marsh., as Anomala irrorata, Blanchard, an American insect ; and of 

 EumoJpiis Dillwynii, Steph., as Scelodonta nitidula, Balj, a common 

 eastern species (Ent. Mo. Mag., xxxv, p. 269).

 that he has been able to find only ten species recorded from the Faroe 

 Islands, found by Mr. Walker, 1890, and mentioned in the Entomolo- 

 gist for that year, pp. 374 and 375. He then enumerates 29 species, 

 found by Mr. Annandale.
