[Monohammus) galloprovincialis, 01., being also killed by it. A 

 Lamellicorn, Ori/ctes laevigatus, Heer, was found in the stumps of dead 

 pines, whereas 0. nasicornis in Germany occurs in rotten oak. The 

 larvae of an Elaterid, Adelocera punctata, Hbst., prey actively on other 

 insects. 



A hst of all the species found on the island is given.

The first of these notes records the infestation of barked oak logs 

 in Carniola by the following bark-beetles : Xyloterus domesticus, L., 

 X. signatus, F.,Xylebonis {Anisandrus) dispar, F., and X. xylographus, 

 Say {Xyleborimis saxeseni, Ratz.). The logs had been recently barked 

 and this may account for the infestation. An editorial note points 

 out that the damp atmosphere in Croatia from February to April 

 delays the drying of logs, so that even conifers that have been felled 

 and barked in spring are attacked by Xyloterus lineatiis, L. 



The second paper deals with bark-beetles and their parasites in 

 Carniola. In the mountains there Ulmus niontana is much attacked 

 by Scolytus laevis, Chap. Hymenopterous parasites destroy a large 

 percentage of the larvae and the infested individuals are unable to 

 bore deep into the sapwood.

Dryocoetes {Lymantor coryli, Perris, appears to have only one 

 generation a year in the cold climate of Carniola. As hazel {Gorylus 

 avellana) is an unimportant plant in the region in question this 

 beetle is of httle economic importance there.

The larva of Ceuthorrhynchus sulcicollis, Payk., is recorded from 

 winter rape. The eggs of Galeruca tenella are laid in small groups 

 of from two to five on the leaves of Alchemilla and Spiraea in damp 

 situations. Injury to Leguminosae by Sitones lineatus is chiefly 

 to the edges of the leaves, though in late summer the inner portions 

 of the leaves of Trifolium pratense and Pisum arvense may also suffer.
