 '■' floinaliiifii planiii)}, Pk., was taken under oak bark, and //. stn'atiini, 

 Gr., by sweeping and in refuse. ProteiiuiH inamijitcriix, Gyll., I found 

 at Ditchling for the first time on April 14th, by shaking thick moss in 

 a small wood. By sifting fallen beech leaves in a small hill-side 

 copse, I came across ''■'■ Cholera cinacina, Kell., and '■'(.'. iii(/rita, Er., a 

 short series of each. Neurap/tcs doni/atnlKft, ]\fnll., frequently turned 

 up in moss and dead leaves in the spring, and more rarely Sri/dinaniits 

 scKti'llan's, Mull. '■•' Kuthia scijdnuinuiidi'n, Stph., I found in profusion 

 in a manure heap on August 7th. Ih-i/axia iratcilioiisci, Rye., from 

 Shoreham on April 24th ; taken rarely from seaweed on the salt 

 marsh. Tric/iouj/.v iniirhrli, Aub. This year three specimens were 

 secured, none of them apparently in association with ant.s. On 

 April 28rd and 25th respectively, I shook one from thick moss 

 in my grounds on the face of the Beacon ; on May 8th, a third 

 specimen was sifted out of some rotten oats in a farmyard near by. 

 '■■ Kiiplectus ainbiguun, Reich., a few specimens from moss, (rnatlionciis 

 liiinctulatiiK, Th., and -'G. nidicola, Joy, in and about starlings' nests 

 in the sand pit, and also crawling on the sand away from the nests. 

 Cryptarcha styii/atfi, F., rare, at C 'n.s-.s».s-infected oak tree near 

 Hassocks Gate Station, September 10th. '''Diidn/llits litnafita, F., 

 not uncommon in Sphm'tia comrntnca on ash trees near Lewes. 

 On August 28th, I unearthed, after terrific labour, a large nest of 

 Boiiihm hortoniin : this nest was situated quite three feet down in a 

 large complex rabbit burrow. It yielded a nice series of ( 'rj/ptnphai/Ks 

 distinijnendus, Stm., a species not usually associated with liovibi, I 

 believe, a few C. setidomis, Stm., one Ant/ierophofiiis pallena, 01., and 

 a few Kpuraea oestiva, L. By carefully sifting a hay-stack in April I 

 procured a number of Kphistemus i/lohosus, Walt., and from an old 

 ash stump took one ScaphisoDia boleti, Pz. From the Shoreham 

 salt-marsh, out of a wet clay bank on April 24th, I dug out Hctcnxrrm 

 britaniciis, Kuw., in some numbers. In early May the Ditchling 

 sand pit yielded ApJiodius iiKiuinatus, F., and Pla/iiotpmufi amwrius, 01. 

 From old "sea-breakers" near Shoreham, whilst digging out 

 Codiosoma, I procured a few I^tinus (/cnnanuK, F. 



On May 3rd I found some larvse and pupjc of Canipi/his linearis, 

 Li., in an old willow stump. The first imago emerged on "^lay 12th, 

 a J . ■■'■Xijlopliiliix popidiietis, Pz., introduced itself to me from the 

 district for the first time on September 9th, one specimen being taken 

 among some fouled straw in a farm shed. 



A day spent on the Newhaven clifl's, in spite of the very burnt-up 

 state of the vegetation, was not unproductive. Apion laericudle, Kirb. 

 (a few at roots of Lotus cornindattis and other plants. I could not decide 

 if the species was really attached to the I.(diis or not) ; Sitoues u-ater- 

 /(fM(.s7"/, Walt., common under the Lotus; Ceiit/ior/n/nrliidins dairsani, 

 liris., in abundance on I'lantaip) roronopiis, and ( '. riifiihis, I)uf., 

 not uncommonly l)y shaking out plants oi Anneria nibiaris, a hitherto 

 unrecorded foodplant for the species. 



liy sweeping (ieuista aiuilira on Ditchling Common, Apion kiesen- 

 uetteri, Desb., and Apion i)ninnne, Kirb., were found. The latter 

 species is a fresh Apion record for Ditchling, and I think G. amjlica
