Kofe on capture of Aphodius villosus, Sfc, at Mickleham. — At the beginning of 

 the present month, whilst beating hazel for Cryptocephalux coryli and nitidulus (of 

 both of which I obtained a few examples) at Mickleham, I was much staggered at 

 finding a specimen of the rare ApJiodivs villosus in my umbrella ; how it got there 

 I know not, unless on the wing at the time. The captures of this species are certainly 

 of an accidental character, it only once, I think, having been found in dung in this 

 country ; this will be the first time it has been recorded from so near London. 



Only a few minutes before this, my friend, ^fr. Marsh, who was with mc at the 

 time, picked up a <J example of Meyapenthes higens from a leaf of the common 

 stinging nettle, — an extraordinary capture. 



Bembidium Sturmi has also recently occurred to me on the banks of the Molo 

 here. It looks as if Mickleham wa« not yet exhausted of its Coleopterous fauna.

Compsochili(-i palpalis at Cuterham. — On the 8th of June, whilst sweeping 

 towards evening on tlie banks of a small pond at Catcrham, Surrey, I was much 

 gratified at finding a fine example of Compsochilus palpalis in my sweeping net. 



This will make the fourth British example, all from different localities, viz. : — 

 Tunbridgc and Shcerncss, Kent, and Wandsworth and Catcrham, Surrey. — Id.
