('(ijiris Innarh rather surprised me hy being in a street lamp, 

 although, of course, it is allied to Odnntacus, and I have also seen 

 (jrcotrn/ii's sti'mirarius at light. Besides Copris, Aphodius inerdarius, 

 ().i-//()iii.u.s poriatus and Tro.v scabulosus are the only Lamellicornia added. 

 Of the STERNOxt I beat Ai/rilas latirornis from honeysuckle in July, 

 swept Throscm dcniiestoidcs frombracken, and took (JrifjitohyjDias i-pustu- 

 latus from Sai/iUaria. Tdcpluirus flarilabris and 2\ litiiratus were 

 common in damp meadows, with Malthodcs dispar, Malachius 

 ai'iii'iis and Dasi/tr^ pluiiibfus on flowers, and Ncrrobia ritilaceus among 

 bones in the woods. Anobiuin fidvintmc Avas swept from alder, and 

 Xi'stobium tessdlatiun dug from its burrows in a decaying willow. 

 PrioiiHS coriarins and Li'iopus iwbulosm again turned up this year, 

 together with li/iai/iiim inquisitar and Sapmla cairharias — of the latter 

 two specimens, one at Bury St. Edmunds and one at Ipswich — for 

 the first time. .S'. jiopulnca, contrary to last year, swarmed in May. 



Of the Phytophaga many very interesting things were secured. 

 Donacia affinu, />. sw/ittayiar from reeds, and B. bideua from Sai/ittarta, 

 Crioct'ris asparaiji, Cri/ptdn'pJialun G-jiunctatus (1) beaten from birch 

 in May, ( 'hri/somda didi/mata and ratians swept in September. 

 Mdasdina loni/irolli' beaten from poplar, Prasacnris beccabuiujae and 

 (Talcnica tendla from water-weeds, were all taken more or less 

 commonly, fjiini/itarsus aitr/iiisai', L. atricillus, L. laeris, L. tenrrii, 

 ]j. nastnrtli, Haltica oiceti, ApJit/ioiia lutcsccns and A. cuendea, Batn- 

 pldla ai'rata, Apteropi'da (/ramiiiis, tlippuripli'da )ii(id('t'ri, and J'sijUiodc^ 

 (■/i(dc(i)ii('ra were all swept. The very few Heteromera added included 

 (jrn.atli(ii('ins larantus in a loaf of bread, Hi/pupldocus b'u-olor possibly 

 attracted by the treacle tin, < '(Duipaljjm trstaccus beaten from poplar, 

 Miirddlistcna abiltniiinalis and 11. jmiiiila, Anaspis subtestacea and 

 Anthicus Jinraliii honi Ho-wevs. The last-named species appears also 

 to be attracted by dung. The Rhynchophora constitute a fairly long 

 list of new species, particularly in the interesting genus Apion, which 

 has been Avorked somewhat assiduously. Cmniopsis waltoni from 

 early moss, Banjnotus ob-sciints swept, Sitoucs crinitus from reeds, .S. 

 salcifnnis from water, and S. tibi<dis swept from railway banks. 

 Llosoina oratiduiii, common in hedgerows in April, Orclifstcs avdlanae, 

 (). rmri, (). sfiifiiia and llhainiilius Jlarii-ornis all beaten from oak, 

 &c., in May. I'!rirr/tiiii(s acrid idus and Bai/ous tciiipcstirus from aquatic 

 plants. 'J'l/c/iius tdiiicntdSHs, ('inims blattarlac, ('. pulchdlus and 

 IJ. scnijj/iulariac all appeared upon the same day, and ('. verbasci later. 

 Codiodcs fulii/inosns and ( '. ruber, ( 'cufJiDrr/n/nchus assimilis, C 

 chcdijbacus, ('. contractus, ('. ci/ioii/ii'iDiis, ('. mi/ulosus and CeutJior- 

 rhi/nc/iidcns floralis, which swarmed on Xasturtiuiii ; Piltinoncus incon- 

 spccttta, li. pcrpcndicnlaris and (Tijmnetrun nuctis were swept, Ikdaniniis
