Rhynchophora were not at all well represented. I had hoped to meet with 

 the large white form of Philopedon ge7nmat'us,¥., but could only find a few of the 

 type ; no others need be mentioned but Sitones grisevs, F. It will be noticed that 

 I have not mentioned any water beetles, and this for the very good reason that 

 they were almost unrepresented, none bul the commonest species were taken, and 

 these not in any number. Evidently they were in the larva or pupa stage, most 

 likely the latter, for I saw hardly any larva.. The locality is one which I am satis- 

 fied would repay further search ; owing probably to the cold,late, wet sprmg. insects 

 were late, and not at all abundant. 



Among some beetles sent to me by a friend from Wexford was a specimen of 

 Psederus caligatus, Er., a species not hitherto recorded from Ireland. 



My captures at home have not proved of any interest, and a day at Lough 

 Neagh proved most disappointing, not even my old friend PelopUla turning up, 

 though I think Mrs. Johnson and I turned every stone that could possibly have 

 concealed it. I have to thank Mr. J. J. Walker for kind help with some of my 

 Sligo captures.-W. V. Johnson, Acton Glebe, Poyntzpass : November 1th, 190o. 



Farther records of some Suffolk Coleoptera.-Smce the publication in 1899 of 

 Mr. Morley's " Coleoptera of Suffolk." I have had few opportunities of working up 

 the fauna of the county, but sundry visits of a day or so brought to light, inter aha, 

 the following species ; those marked * are additions to the county list, the others 

 being noted because of the scarcity of recorded localities for the species m the 

 county : Dichirotrtchus obsoletus, Dej., is to be found not uncommonly at Benacre 

 Broad. Platyderus ruficollis, Marsh., Lowestoft Denes, rarely. Cgmindis axillaris, 

 F., locally common at the roots of marram grass on the Kessingland Sandhills m .! 

 1899, and rarely on the Herringfleet Hills this year. Dromius ./^m«, Rossi, in , 

 some small numbers on several occasions at Oulton Broad, but it is extremely 

 local. Deronectes depressus, F.,* one specimen at Barnby Broad, G.ix.99, in a ditch, 

 with numerous D. assimilis, Pk. A single S Rydaticus transversalis , Berg.,* 

 occurred in the same ditch, 10.iv.03. Gijrmus elor,gatus, Aube, at Oulton. Hydro-

 refuse. Cryptobium glaberrlmum, Herbst,* at the same locality in 1899 and 1902. 

 Stili.cusgeuiculatu.s,¥v.,m haystack refuse at Barnby, thus confirming Stephens'
