COLEOPTERA IN ENFIELD DISTRICT, 1907. 297 



sale. It is in this connection noteworthy that, at the first day's sale, 

 96 specimens of A. grossulariata brought in an average price of 18s. 5d., 

 while, at the second day's sale, 76 averaged £1 8s. 6d. per specimen. 



We heartily congratulate Mr. Kaynor upon this result. It is 

 probable that no one has ever devoted so much time and attention to 

 one species as he has to Abraxas grossulariata. We are glad to say 

 that he assures us that hi- interest in entomology has by no means 

 evaporated, and further, that, hesides specialising in the butterflies (as 

 previously announced), he has acceded to the earnest solicitations of 

 his many friends not to give up A. grossulariata, and also hopes to 

 devote special attention to a few of the most variable moths, amongst 

 which he includes .1/. tiliae, A. prunaria, and S. clathrata. 



Coleoptera in the Enfield District, 1907. 



By C. J. C. POOL, F.E.S. 



As in previous years, most of my attention has been devoted to the 

 old timber in various parts of Enfield and Epping Forest. 



I have succeeded in capturing additional specimens of several 

 rarities hitherto recorded by me, as well as a few species which are 

 most welcome additions to my collection. The following list will 

 perhaps be of interest to coleopterists in the London district : —

 Marsh., Enfield. Quedius ventralis, Ahr., Enfield, and Epping Forest. 

 Eumicrus rufus, Mull., Enfield, rotten oak and beech. Orthoperus 

 brunnipes, Gyll., 0. mundus, Mat., on elm logs, Enfield, abundant in 

 September and October. Chilocorus bipustulatus, L., Epping Forest. 

 Symbiotes latus, Redt., in elder stump, Waltham. Aulonium sulcatum, 

 Enfield, in elm bark (abundant), and a few in burrows of Dryocaetes 

 villosus, F., in oak bark. Epuraea augustula, Er., beaten from oak,

 bajiilns, L., a fine specimen of this rare Longicorne was taken on a 

 wall by my little daughter, at Enfield, September 3rd, 1907. This 

 is my second Enfield specimen. I hope to be able to locate 

 a colony of this beetle next summer. Callidium variable, L., 

 C. alni, L., Enfield. Leptidea brevipennis, Muls., on a wall, Enfield.

 beech, Epping Forest. Bmchus rufipes, Hbst., Enfield, Potters Bar,
