Rare Beetle. — Mr. F. G. A. Barnard drew attention to an 

 exhibit by him of a pair of beetles, Trichaulax [Schizorrhina) 

 philipsi, Schreib., recently taken in a building at Kevv. He 

 considered the beetle rare, and said that the male had been 

 captured about the middle of January, while the female had 

 been taken in the same building (a bank) a fortnight later. 



Mr. J. A. Kershaw, F.E.S., mentioned that the beetle was 

 extremely rare, and that he had captured his last specimens some 

 years ago in a private garden in the University Grounds.
