An excursion to Tuddenhani Fen on a cloudy day was a little disappointing in 

 results, but wc raked in BrailycMus placidti,s, Crijptoli/ijjMitis ripariu.s aud Cassida 

 vibcx among refuse, Lema puncticollis by sweeping, Criiptorhijuckus lii.pntlii not 

 rarely beaten from old sallows, and Erirrhiint.< torlrix on aspen. 



On further examination of the material at home, Mr. Chitty tells me he took 

 llarpalus discoideus, llomalota fnsca, II, triamjulum, llcterotlmps ^-jninctuln, Phi- 

 Innthus micans, Liodes kumeralis* Atotnarin fuscipes, Aphodius constans, Limonius 

 cylmdricus and minutus, Psylliodcs picina, Ceutkorrhynchus eiophorhice* and setosus. 

 Mr. Tomlin adds PldcBocharis subtilissiina,* Oymnetron collinug* pascuorum and 

 bcccahungm, Ilypcra fasciculata, Ceuthorrliynckus reseda;, Limnebius nitidiis* 

 Evwstheius rujicapillus,* Malthodes fibulatus, Ccutliorrhynchidius dawsoni* and, in 

 a rabbit hole, the rare Aphanisticus pusilhis* 



Mr. Chitty left on the evening of the 8th, and Mr. Tomlin and I early on the 

 loth morning. Our expedition was a failure as regards its main object, but a distinct 

 success in its genei'al results, especially in that it added 20 species of beetles to my 

 " Coleoptcra of Suffolk." — Claude Morley, Ipswich : July 15th., 1903. 



Harpalus FrdlirJiii, Sturm.. — I took an axample of this species in its only 

 British locality early last April, and Mr. Alfred Beaumont found three or four more 

 in the middle of May ; it appears to be ve-instating itself there {cf. Ent. Mo. Mag., 

 1898, pp. 84-85, et 1901, p. 64).— Id. 



Bemhidlum virens, OylL, in Invernexs-shlre ? — I have recently found in my 

 collection standing apart near Bemhidlum prasinum, a good many specimens 

 of Bemhidlum virens, Gyll. When I placed them in my collection I noticed 

 they agreed with nothing else, but as tliey are not of a brighter green colour than 

 praninum, even when virens, Gyll., was added to the list, it never occurred to me 

 that they could be this insect until I saw Mr. Lloyd's specimens the other day, and 

 remembered that my insects had the 1st joint of the antennae dark. Gyllenhal, in 

 his " Insecta suecica," gives two colours for virens, and my specimens are the darker 

 form. The specimens are labelled " Beauly, Inverness," and may come from there ; 

 as, however, while at Beauly, I had specimens of insects sent me which I mislaid 

 (see Ent. Mo. Mag., vol. xxxii, p. 141), collected from a Norway river, it is quite 

 possible that the specimens really are some of those from Norway. At the same 

 time there is no reason why the insect should not occur along the banks of the river 

 Beauly as well as on the banks of the Norwegian river, and as it has occurred at 

 Loch Maree, it seems desirable to record the existence of these insects, although 

 further confirmation of the locality is needed. The insect, judging by tlie price 

 asked for specimens, is apparently not common on the Continent. — A. J. Chitty, 

 27, Hereford Square, S.W. : July 8th, 1903. 



Coleoptera at Pamber Forest. — On May SOtli I went to Pamber Forest for a 

 few days' collecting, and to try and take Labidostomis trideniala again, the life- 

 history of which beetle I am endeavouring to work out, as nothing is known on the 

 subject. The weather being fine and hot, the insect was taken in numbers on and 

 flying round young birch trees. From these beetles I have obtained many eggs,
