NEW BRITISH SPECIES, ETC., IN 1871. 41 



workers in this country, has recently in the Proceedings of 

 the Berwickshire Naturalist's Club (vol. vi, No. 11, p. 160 

 et seq.)j under the modest title of Contributions to the Ento- 

 mology of the Cheviot Hills, given a full account of the 

 Coleoptera there observed by him, with precise localities, 

 and many notes of interest relating to the different species. 

 The same gentleman has also communicated to the Ent. Mo. 

 Mag. (vii, p. 182 et seq.) a paper on the same subject. Of 

 his observations, perhaps the following are most note-worthy: 

 — the occurrence of Splicer lies glaher, Alitalia jmncticollisy 

 Sharp, and my Oxypoda 7'upicola, in England ; of Myceto- 

 phagus inultipmictatus and Triplax cenea so far north ; of 

 Lathridius nodifer, commonly, among the dark glens of 

 the Northumbrian hills; of the assemblage of great num- 

 bers of Graptodera longicolliSy Allard (chiefly ? ), on 

 bushes of heather; and the occurrence of many fi-esh ex- 

 amples of that lowland pest, Sitones lineatuSj under stones 

 at the top of Cheviot, nearly 3000 feet high. 



Mr. Hardy, in the Proceedings of the same year, has 

 given an account of the habits of Maltica nemorum (most 

 probably this is Phyllotreta undidata) in the Border 

 counties, — reproduced without acknowledgment in *^ New- 

 man's Entomologist," Sept., 1871, p. 385 et seq. 



Dr. Sharp, in a paper in vol. i of the '^ Scottish Natu- 

 ralist," has enumerated and given an interesting account of 

 the different species of Coleojotera exclusively confined to 

 the Scotch fir in this country (40 in number), especially with 

 reference to the knowledge of their larvae. He also notes 

 the vast number of species observed by himself as affecting 

 the same tree in the pinals of the valley of the G uadarrana, 

 in the centre of Spain. 



Mr. E. A. Waterhouse has (Ent. Mo. Mag., vii, p. 15) 

 published some interesting notes on good species of Cole-
