Trimium brevicorne, Reick., at Cohham Park, Kent. — Among some rselaphidie 

 taken by me in the Chatham district in 1899, I have come across a fine c? Trimium 

 Irevicorne, Reich., from Cobham Park, which until now had been overlooked. The 

 only otlier recent capture of this rare and curious species on record is that of a 

 specimen at Chiddingfold, Surrey, by Mr. Donisthorpe in March, 1901 ( Kut. Record, 

 vol. xiii, p. 182).— James J. Waleeh, Oxford : Maij ISHi, 1909. 



Ne^v localiti^.s for Neiiraphes rubicundus, Schauin. — While overhauling my 

 Scydaimnido} a few days ago with Mr. G. C. Champion, we found among them a fine 

 (? Neuraphes rubicundus, Schaum, which I took in a tuft near Strood, Kent, in the 

 spring of 1897. This rare species has also been quite recently taken in a mole's 

 nest at Yarnton, near Oxford, by my friend -Mr. Joseph Collins of the University 

 Museum.— Id. : Blay I8th, 19U9. 



The genus Calodera, Munn., at Oxford, etc. — I have at various times found single 

 specimens of Calodera riparia, Er., and C.xthiopa, Gr., in moss in a small swamp at 

 Yarnton, Oxon. ; and on January 16th last I was much pleased to turn out a fine 

 C. nigrita, Mann., from a frozen tuft of grass in a little wet hollow not far off. 

 Revisiting this latter spot with Mr. H. Or. Champion on March 31st we found, among 

 dead leaves and in tufts, four species of the genus in company — protensoL, Mann , 

 and nigrita, being fairly common, and riparia and xthiops occurring very sparingly. 

 At Bay worth, Berks., six or seven miles distant, the same four species occurred to 

 me on April 3rd, in wet tufts of grass in similar relative numbers, along with 

 Acupalpus consputus, Dufts., Homalnta languida, Er., exilis, Er., angudida, Gyll., 

 &e. ; but as at Yarnton they disappeared very quickly witli the drying up of their 

 habitat. C. nigrita and liparia have also been taken in wet tufts at Horsell, Surrey, 

 by Mr. G. C. Ciiampion on April 9th tliis year.— Id. : May I8th, 1909. 



Capture of Quedius xanthopiis and Q. scltus. — On April 13th I had the good 

 fortune to take six specimens of Quedius xanthopun, Er., under the bark of dead 

 Scotch firs at Crowcombe, Somerset. The capture of this uncommon species is, 

 I think, worthy cf being recorded. 1 may also note that in February, 1907, 

 I secured a specimen of Quedius scitus. Gi-av., at Fen Ditton, Cambridge, in a 

 willow stump.— G-. W. Nicholson, Q-uy's Hospital : April 20th, 1909. 



Coleoptera in Cumberland,. — Having recently taken a number of species of 

 Coleoptera of uncommon occurrence in this county, I append a few notes on the 

 more noteworthy captures. Notiophilus nubstriatus, Wat., occurred at Grelt, where 

 Nebria gt/llenhalli, Sch., ia common among gravel. Dichirotrichus p tibescens, Fk., 

 found sparingly at Bowness-on-Solway in August. Anisodactj/lus binotatus, P., 

 a single specimen at Orton in May, and a couple of examples of Pterostichus minor, 

 Gyll., at the same place. Anchomenus fullginosus, Pz., at Wetheral, and A. piceus, 

 L., freely in flood refuse from the River Petteril. Bembidium doris, Pz., from the 

 pond at Orion, B. schilppelli, Dej., in flood refuse on the Eden near Carlisle, along 

 with B. rufescens, Guer , in abundance, B. monticola, Sturm, B. femoratum, Sturm, 

 Tachypus Jlavipes, L., and Metabletus foveola, Gyll. B. punctulatum, Drap., was
