The next day was spent collecting on Mr. Routledge's property, he 

 possessing a very extensive moss, knoAvn as Hayton IMoss, which is 

 close to his house. There the local little 'reh'i>/ittn(s jii/iiratiis was swept 

 in plenty, with others of the commoner species. liijdroporiiH niijrita 

 was fished out of a peat-hole. lUilitnrhara hicida was found in fungus on 

 an old stump, and Ain'sotonia caleaiata anr] Colcnis ih-ntipcH by evening 

 sweeping. On the 19th a visit was paid to the river Irthing, and a 

 search for the very rare little Jlemhidiiim srJuip/H'U along its banks was 

 quite successful, a nice series being taken. lU'iiihidiuui inontirala again 

 turned up. Hi/drnporns rivalis was fished out of the river, as was also 

 lirj/cfiitis I'lcratns. In a small wood near, Anristroni/rha abdoun'nalis 

 occurred sparingly. (iriipidim ciinisi'ti was swept off i','(//</.s^i(o/?, and 

 Plii/Ilobiiifi ririiUcolUK oft" nettles. Staphj/linus piibeNccnx occurred under 

 stercore. Prasocurifi bcccahiiiuiae, ^laltJiodc^ dii^par, and other commoner 

 things were swept. 



On the 20th, we went to the Burgh marshes, and were joined by 

 Mr. Day. The first capture was Telephonic darmnianus, a nice series 

 of which was swept from the grass growing on the edges of a dyke, the 

 red form, however, being rare. Jlenibidiiim lunatio)!. was plentiful on 

 the mud on the sides of the dyke. Several specimens of the two rare 

 species of Di/acJiiriKu, P. nitidas and D. politKc, were taken on the 

 banks of a muddy creek, Clivina collaru and Dijuchirius salinns also 

 occurring with them. 



On June 21st, Messrs. Day and Britten came out to us, and Mr. 

 Routledge drove us all to the foot of Cumrew Fell, where the day was 

 proposed to be spent. The chief object of our search was Latltrobium 

 punctattna [atripalpc, Brit. Cat.), see hut. Record, anteh, p. 180, which 

 was found very sparingly. Several specimens of ('arabns iilabratm 

 were taken under stones. Arpedium braclnipterinn was not uncommon in 

 moss. Tachiniis elomiatHn, was found on a wall, and Telephorus 

 paliidosiis was swept. Carabine arvejisis, ('orj/iiibites ciipreufi var. aeni- 

 i/inosiifi and other commoner things Avere taken. Next day we 

 journeyed to Little Salkeld to meet Mr. Britten, and much hard 

 sweeping in a field there produced a series of the rare Hiidrothaam 

 hannoverana, it was evidently going over, h. aiicta, IJ. iDanjinella 

 and Prasociiris pliellandrii also occurred. A hurried rush was made to 

 some fir-trees, where Placufta couiplanata was found, and we then took 

 train for Barron Wood. Arriving there, we proceeded to beat the 

 flowers of the mountain-ash, which, by the way, were nearly over, and 

 a dozen of the beautiful P/n/nchites; cnjireiiH was the reward of much 

 hard work. A specimen of the rare and local Stenostola ferrea was also 

 beaten from the mountain-ash, and two specimensof' 'orijnibiteumpresitiis, 

 one being the rare ab. rutipea, with red legs. Malt/iiiius frontalis, ^ 

 and 5 , Anayiis subtestacea, JIaltica ericeti and J^/ii/Uohiiift eiridirnllis 

 were swept. lie)nbidiinn fialndosiiui occurred in swarms on fine sand 

 on the banks of a river that runs through the wood. On the 23rd, we 

 again went to the Gelt Woods, where ^?«r/.s'«/v7» (/(•/(« abdontinalis was found 

 to be much scarcer. Qnediits aiirieoiinis, (J. umbriniif;, Q. seniiaeueiis, 

 Lefitera hDUfeli/trata, L. pubescens, Ocalea castanea, Honialota pavena and 

 Steniis iiiii/ueiiieri were all taken out of moss from a waterfall. An 

 interesting capture was PJii/Uobiiis (jlauciis and P. alaetl taken in cop. 

 Jli/drnponis ilari.si and ] f. septentiionolis were fished out of small pools 

 in the rocks at the side of the river. Limaniiis cj/lindriciis, J'ar/n/ta
