S8 [September, 



Ceuthorhynchus resedce, Sfc, at Cromer. — This somewhat scarce weevil (for 

 which I had vainly searched every plant of Reseda luteola I met with for many years 

 past), turned up in great profusion at Cromer, at the end of June, on the "Weld," 

 growing abundantly in some fields on the cliffs. In the same locality I met with 

 Olihrus pygmceus, Otiorhynclius raucus, Bai^is ahrotani, and Hylesinus oleiperda, 

 among others, and Bledlus suhterraneus was found in great numbers burrowing in 

 the perpendicular sides of a sand-pit. 



I shall be glad to give a few unset C. resedce to any Coleopterist in want of the 

 species. — Id. 



Coleoptera at Tonhridge. — In the winter months, from December to the be- 

 ginning of April, 1885, 1 occasionally collected within two or three miles of Tonhridge. 

 By sifting dead leaves, Metabletus truncatellus and Hahrocerus capillaricornis. In 

 moss, Bemhidium Mannerheimi. In nests of water-rat, Oxypoda vittata and 

 Somalota triangulum ; of grass mice, Ocaleabadia Sind Oxypoda nigrina. In grass 

 tufts, Metabletus ohscuroguttatus, Bradycelliis harpalinus, Conurus immaciilatus, 

 Plinthus caliginosus (1), Tropiphorus carinatus (1). In swampy places in grass tufts 

 or reeds, Lehia chlorocephala, Anchomenus gracilis, Oxypoda lentula (5), Calodera 

 riparia (1), C. oethiops, Somalota ignobilis (1), H. exilis (1), Stilicus orbiculatus. 

 In flood refuse, Anchomenus livens, Callicerns obscurus, Homalota languida S (4), 

 a. pavens, H. luteipes, H. debilis, H. aquatica, S. pygmaa, H. clientida, Achenium 

 humile. 



Sweeping at the end of April procured for me Coryphium atigusticolle (1), 

 Somalota atricolor, Epurcea melina (1), and Adimonia suturalis on heather. 



Sweeping and beating from the end of May to middle of July, I got, within a 

 radius of five miles of Tonbridge ; SomcBusa acuminata (1), Oxypoda exoleta (1), 

 O. nigrina (several), Somalota splendens{l), a wonderfully long wiry creature, S. 

 indubia, S. intermedia, Colon Zebei S (2), C. brunneum, nnd two other species of 

 Colon besides, which I cannot make ont,Thalycra sericea (4),Ips 4:-punctata (1 flying), 

 Antherophagus pallens (1 dark specimen), Throscus carinifrons, several in flower 

 blossom, as well as odd ones by sweeping, and one in a faggot. The late Mr. 

 Wollaston found a single specimen crawling on a fence in Tonbridge town. Imagine, 

 therefore, my joy at having found it agaiii. One day I bottled about forty 

 dermestoides , but, alas, only one carinifrons w^as amongst them. Corymbites ' 

 hipustulatus (1 with nearly red elytra) from a fir tree, Limonius minutus (1), Dolopius 

 marginatus, Coenocara bovistcB (I), Sitones cambricus, Balaninus tessellatus, B^'uchus 

 loti (in plenty), Lamprosoma concolor, Lema cyanella, and Strangalia nigra turned 

 up in my net. I found Ips ferrugineus in a house, and a Deleaster dichrous flew to 

 light at dark. 



In marshy places I found Oodes helopioides, Anchomenus gracilis, Ocyusa 

 picina, Somalota pilosiventris (1), Philonthus micans. 



In carrion Microglossa pulla and Aleochara lygcBa (1). 



In dung Somalota Icevana (1) and S. cinnamoptera. 



Under bark of elm log, Calodera umbrosa (1). Last year I found several in 

 excrement. Oak log produced Scolytus intricatus. 



Sap of oak stumps •^voduced Microglossa pulla (1), Seterothops i-punctula (1), 

 Somalium planum, Somalota villosula (2), and S. pilosiventris (1) of which I found 

 several in excrement last year.
