amictda, and ^jaltisfo-is. Placusa infima, under bark ; and another sp. not yet 
determined. Trichopfiya pilicornis, under fir branches in the pits : this insect occurs 
also in profusion, at times, on the windows in the corridors of the Crystal Palace. 
Leucoparyphus silphoides. Tacliyporus solutits. Lamprinus saginatus, in moss at 
the foot of the archbishop's palings. Conurus immaculatus. Mycetoporus lo-ngulus, 
clavicomis, and longicornis. Philonthus decorus, common in moss at foot of the 
palings. P. ventralis, villos^dus, signaticornis, and procerulus. Baptolinus alternans, 
under fir-bark. Lathrobiiom geminum. Achenium depressunu Stilicus geniculahis. 
ScopcBus sulcicolUs. Stenus higuttatus, lustrator, and geniculatus ; the two latter 
usually in moss at roots of heather near palings. Bledius longulus. Platystethus 
capito. Oxytelus insecatus and speculifrons. Syntomium wneum. Omalium planum,

tninimus. Epurcea 10-guttata, melina, pusilla, oblonga, and florea ; the first and 
last at sap, — -florea, abundantly, — and pusilla and oblonga under pine bark,- — pusilla 
in the greatest profusion. Soronia punctatissima. Meligethes viemnonius. Ips 
ferrugineus, in the pits, and most abundantly under pine bark. BMzophagus 
perforatus. Sarrotrium clavicorne, common on sand. Monotoma longicollis. 
Silvanus unidentatus. Atomaria umbrina, linearis, and nigriventris, swarming in 
the pits. Byrrhus fasciatus and dorsalis. Serica brunnea, being dragged off by 
ants, — still alive, though stupified by the violence of its contact with the sides of 
a sand-pit during nocturnal flight. Tliroscus dermestoides. Telephones lateralis. 
Byturus fumatus. Notoxus monocerus, a curious sight so far from the sea. Briichus 
cisti. Apion scutellare, ebeninum, and pubescens. Sitones cambricus, hiomeralis, 
flavescens, puncticolUs, &c. Tropiphorus carinatus. Plinthus caliginosus, with the 
coarse punctures cleanly defined, and not choked up with chalk, as usual,— owing 
to its sandy habitat. Gronops lunatus, common on the sand (the last time I visited 
Hampstead Heath I found fourteen of this weevil in one little sand-hole) . TracJiy- 
phlceus scaber and scabriculus, both very common, sunning themselves on the warm 
sand, and at the roots of grass. Cmiopsis fissirostris, rare, in thick wet moss,

vastly. C. TFaZtont, not uncommon, with the Trachyphlcei. Otiorhynclius pabulimis 
of our Catalogues, common in moss at the foot of palings. This insect appears 
not to be the pabulimis of Panzer, which is nothing but a colour- variety of 0. ovatus. 
Dr. Sharp informed me some time ago that he and Mr. Crotch had made it out to 
be the 0. muscorum of Brisout (Grenier's Cat.), with which insect it certainly 
seems to accord. This identification appears as yet to have escaped record. 
Ty chilis nigrirostris and venustus, the latter on flowering broom, in the early part 
of May, in the greatest possible pi'ofusion, though in a very limited space, — a 
hollow near the gravel pits on Shirley Common, where it was accidentally dis-
