know, for a long tiiiio. It will bu rL'iiieinberecl, perhaps, that the late Mr. 8. 

 Stevens took Lyctus brun»eus on fresh oak palings at Upper Norwood in 1879, and 

 the two following years, in company with Tillus unifasciatus and Terefriiis picipes*

New locality for Bembidium quadri pustulatum, Dej. — Early in June last I was 

 fortunate enough to find a single specimen of this rare beetle running over the 

 muddy banks of an almost dry ditch at Deal. I am indebted to the Rev. H. S. 

 Q-orham (who first discovered the species in this country in a marshy place at 

 Bearsted, near Maidstone) for confirming my identification of the insect ; he 

 informs me that a few examples are reported to have been taken since, but that he 

 has not seen them. Among my other captures made during the same day were 

 Apion sedi, of which I obtained several specimens at the roots of Sedum acre, in 

 company with Crypticus qiiisqiiilius, and a single Fanageeus quadripustulatus. 

 Ill a ditch in the rear of the sand hills Haliplus variegatus occurred, together with 

 H. obliquu-i, H. confiiiis, and R. JiavicoUis, whilst Gyrinus elongatus was to be 

 seen describing on the surface of the water the evolutions peculiar to its genus ; by 

 sluicing the banks, Dyschirius ceneits and Heteroveriis obsoletus were to be had in 

 abundance. — E. C. Bedwell, 25, Ossian Road, Stroud Green : November, 1901. 



Mimesa Dahlbomi and other Aculeates in Scotland. — 'RQicrviug to my notes in 

 the Ent. Mo. Mag. for November and January last, I have this summer obtained 

 the following further additions to the list of Scottish Aculeates, namely : Mimesa 

 Dahlbomi, Wesm., two cJs taken near Polton, Midlothian, Juno 18th; Andrena 

 similis, Sm., a S taken near Kinghorn, Fife, May 4th ; Salius exalfatus. Fab., a ? , 

 among some insects collected for me at Loch Awe, Argyleshire, in July, by Mr. R. 

 Godfrey. The specimens have been seen by Mr. Saunders. — William Evans, 38,

Odonata collected by Col. Yerbury in the south-went of Ireland in 1901. — 

 During his long sojourn in the extreme south-west of Ireland in the sunnner and 

 early autumn of 1901, Col. Yerbury collected about fifty examples of dragon-flies, 

 which he kindly handed over to me. I find ten species, and nothing very remark- 

 able from a general point of view ; but the local information is useful, because the 

 district is south and west of Killarney, which often forms the limit of the wander- 

 ings of tourist entomologists. The species and localities are : — 



Libel lula quadrimaculata, L., Loo Bridge. 



Orthefrum ccerulescen.i, F., Glengariff, Loo Bridge, Caragh Lake. 



Sympetrum striolafum, Chp., Glengariff, Loo Bridge, Kenmare, Caragh Lake 

 Parknasilla. 



JLschna juncea, L., Caragh Lake, Waterville, Staigue Fort, Valentia Island ; 

 one ? from each locality. 



Calopteryx virgo, L., Glengariff. 



Ischnura elegans, V. d. L., Glengariff, Cloonee, Waterville. 



Enallagma cyathigerum, Chp., Glengariff, Cloonee, Parknasilla. 



* According to Jacquelin Duv.al (Gen. Col., iii, p. IfO), T. nnivittatus preys upon the larvre 

 of Lyctui eanaliculatus. — G. C. C.
