Uncommon heetlea at 'Edlington arid Wadioorth Woods, Yorkshire. — These 

 woods have furnished several interesting species of Coleoptera. Naeerdes melanura, 

 Sch., usually looked upon as a coast species, lias been taken there by Mr Young of 

 Rotherham, who has also met with Melastis hupresfoides, L., Stenostola ferrea, 

 Sell., Liodes humeralia, Ivug., Corijmhites pectinicornis, L., all species by no means 

 common in Yorkshire. — Id. 



MicroptUium pulchellum^ All., from Berkshire. — When examining tufis of 

 grass last March at the edge of a jiond near here, I took four specimens of a minute 

 Trichopterygid. These have proved to be MicroptUium pulchellum, All. Canon 

 Fowler mentions two specimens as having been taken by Mr. G!-. R. Waterhouse, 

 " but T do not know in what locality." I believe it has not been recorded since. — 

 Norman H. Jot, Bradfield, Berks: Julif 3rd, 1906. 



Sibinia sodalis, Germ., and Apion filirostre, Kirhy, in Devonshire. — Mr. J. H. 

 Keys and I each took three specimens of Sibinia sodalis, Germ., on Armeria 

 vu7gari.<f at the edge of the red sandstone clifPs near Dawlish on May 19th. On 

 June 18th I obtained three more. One example of Apion filirostre, Kirby, was 

 taken by me while sweeping at Christow, Devon, on May 8th. — Philip de la 

 G-ABDE, Manor House, Shaldon, Teignmouth : July, 1906. 



Lytta vesicatoria, L., in the Isle of Wight. — On July 11th I was fortunate 

 enough to take a J example of Lytta vesicatoria, L., crawling in a lane near 

 Whitwell, Isle of Wight.— G. E. Bryant, Fir Grove, Esher : July \Qth, 1906. 



Cateremna terebrella, ZTc., in Surrey. — On March 22rd last whilst standing 

 beneath a large spruce fir to avoid a heavy snow storm, I thought I would examine 

 a few of the fallen cones, as I wished to breed some Cydia {Coccyx) strobitella for a 

 correspondent ; the very first one (a very small, rough looking one) examined, con- 

 tained two larvae, which I felt sure were those of the knothorn above named. I 

 need hardly remark that the snowstorm was forgotten, and I set to work to find 

 more of these small rough cones, but with very little success, the vast majority 

 being full-sized. I paid another visit to the spot and found only two or three more 

 suspicious looking ones. The Tortrix appeared in due time, and I had almost 

 given up hope when to-day a nice specimen of Cateremna terebrella appeared, the 

 first I have seen alive, and somewhat larger than the single Norfolk specimen in 

 my cabinet. I think this is an addition to the Surrey list of Lepidopfera. — 

 A. Thurnall, Thornton Heath : July 3rd, 1906. 



Andrena lapponica, Zett., near Leith Hill.— On May 13th, as I was walking 

 from Dorking to Leith Hill, I saw an Andrena visiting the flowers of the whortle- 

 berry, which on capture proved to be A. lapponica, Zett., ? . I kad very little 

 time to spare, and it was rather late in the day, about 2 o'clock, or probably more 

 could have been taken.— G. E. Frisby, 9, Fengates Road, Redhill : July, 1906.
