examples in years gone by. The dates of capture are somewhat peculiar : Decem- 

 ber 1st, 1886, April 25th (approximately), 1896, and now October 18l.li. Probably 

 the insect emerges in autumn, and reappears in spring after hibernation. — Theodokk

Miscodera arctica, Payk., in Cumberland. — From the known distribution of 

 this species in the British Isles it seemed an absolute certainty that it must occur 

 somewhere among the mountains of Cumberland, but I know of no published 

 record, nor have I taken it myself, although always having it in mind when collecting 

 among the Lake mountains and the Pennines. I was therefore very pleased to see 

 a specimen among a number of Coleoptera sent to me for names by Mr. H. Britten 

 of Great Salkeld, labelled Wan Fell, 108-02. Wan Fell is a low sandstone hill in 

 South-East Cumberland, and although it ha3 little claim to be considered a moun- 

 tain when compared with Cross Fell, Scaw Fell, and Skiddaw, it has nevertheless 

 produced several species usually associated with high districts, e. g., Bembidium 

 nigricome, Cymindis vaporariorum, Agabus congener, and llydroporus morio. —

Lcemostenus complanatus, Dej.,at Woolwich. — I find that I captured two speci- 

 mens of this beetle on October 31st, 1900, under a flower box standing on the 

 window sill of a house at Woolwich ; only one of them is in my collection, the 

 other having either been destroyed, or given away as Pristonychus terricola. — E. C. 

 Bedwell, 25, Ossian Road, Stroud Green : November, 1902. 



Lcemophlozus bimaculatus, Payk., near Guildford. — I found a specimen of this 

 rare species on the downs near Guildford on September 27th, under bark of a felled 

 beech. The insect has not, I believe, been previously recorded from this part of 

 Surrey. With it occurred L. ferrugineus, Steph., Silvanus unidentatus, Fabr., 

 Ditoma crenata, Fabr. (varying to entirely testaceous), and Litargus bifasciatus, 

 Fabr. It is just thirty years since I had seen L. bimaculatus alive, under similar 

 conditions, in the New Forest. — G. C. Champion, Horsell, Woking : Nov. teh, 1902. 



Saperda scalaris in Cumberland. — I captured a specimen of this species in 

 Gelt Wood, near Carlisle, on July 7th, 1900 ; another was found by Mr. H. 

 Britten in Baron Wood, Armathwaite, on June 22nd, 1902. Stephens, in his 

 Illustrations, records that several were taken at Cockermouth. — George B. Rout- 

 ledge, Tarn Lodge, Hcadsnook, Carlisle: November 5th, 1902. 



Pogonus luridipennis, Dej., on the Lincolnshire coast. — During the month of 

 September I received from Mr. C. S. Carter, of Louth, three examples of a Pogonus, 

 about the size of P. chalceus, but with the coloration of P. luridipennis. Thinking 

 this might be due to immaturity, I sent one of the specimens to Canon Fowler, who 

 returned it as without doubt a small example of P. luridipennis. The specimens 

 were taken in the neighbourhood of Grimsby. It is quite possible, if carefully
