 from that locality to my collection, including Agabas abbreviotas, F., and A. uliginosus, 

 L. (both abundant), Rhantus grapii, Gyll., Ilybius asnescens, Th., I. guttiger, Gyll.

 resulted in the capture of Cyrtusa panxilla, Schm , Bythinus ciirtisi, Denny, Apion 

 filirostre, Kirb., Tychius tomentosus, Hbst., Ceuthorrhynch.idius terminatus, Hbst., 

 Ceuthnrrhynchus marginatum, Pk., C. punctiger, Gyll., Bruchus cisti, F., B. loti, Payk., 

 and what I am told is probably Hypera melet:, F. An evening's sweeping on the same 

 ground at the end of the month produced Colenis dentipes, Gyll., Hydnobius 

 strigosus, Schm., Atiisotorna badia, Strm., and Orchestes pratensis, Germ. 



A visit to Epping Forest with Mr. Pool, on the 25th inst., produced a good 

 series of Prionus coriarius, L. : they were obtained by digging about the si unips of 

 old beech trees, the larvae feed in the roots of the tree and pupate in the ground 

 in an earthen cocoon similar in appearance to that made by C'ossus ligniperda ; 

 Leptura scutellata, F., and Quedius ventralis, Ahr., also put in an appearance, but 

 only singly. 



Evening sweeping here on the 28th produced Colon brunneum, Latr., Tychius 

 lineatidus, Steph., Ceuthorrhynchidius uiqrinns, Marsh., Lamprosoma- covcolor, 

 Stm., Hydnobius xtrigosus, Schm., Apion atomarium, Kirb., and Orchestes pratensis,

 Walt. (2), Cionus tuberculosus, Scop., Phytobius (piadricornis, Gyll., and Oroymps 

 unatus, F. 



A week at Deal at the latter part of the month in very wet and cold weather 

 necessitated a lot of hard work to secure much, but my bottles contained Amara 

 curta, Dej., Masoreus wctterhali, Gyll., Haliplus variegatus, Strm., Laccophilus 

 variegatus, Germ., Enochrus hicolnr, Pk., Ochthebius viridis, Peyron, Anisotoma

 primita, Hbst., Limobius mixtus, Boh., and Tychius pygmasus, Bris. 



A visit to St. Margaret's Bay in search of Hypera tigrina, Boh., enabled me to 

 secure a good series of that species, and I also found Quedius obliteratus, Er., Bryaxis 

 waterhousei, Rye, Otiorrhynchus ra^(,cus, F., and Ceuthorrhynchidius nigrinus, 

 Marsh. (5). 



Evening sweeping in a very restricted spot near Reigate, on September 19th, 

 produced Anisotoyna anglica, Rye (4), A. brunnea Stm. (1), and Phlceophilus 

 edwardsi, Steph. (1). 



In October at Chipstead single specimens of Panag;rus quadripuslulatus, St., and 

 Licinus deprcssxis, Payk., were obtained from moss. On the 31st, moles' nests close
