42. COLEOFTERA. 



optera found by himself near RijDon in an old bird's-nest in a 

 beech tree; and his account is supplemented (ibid,, p. 64) by 

 a reproduction by Mr. Douglas, from the Stettin. Ent. Zeit., 

 of Herr Cornelius's paper on the same method of collect- 

 ing. 



In the same publication, Mr. Holyoak gives particulars 

 of the nocturnal habits of Calosoma inquisitor in Leicester- 

 shire; Mr. Morley records the incontinence of Crepidodera 

 ferruginea, which he has observed transgressing the laws 

 of coleopterous morality with its congeners, C. rufipes and 

 C. transversa; Mr. Kidd notes the gall-making habits of the 

 rare Gymnetron linaricE on Linaria vidgaris, at Brandon 

 (detected by the astute Mr. Barrett); Dr. Buchanan White 

 (a semi-converted Lepidopterist, from whom much is to be 

 expected on his entire abjuration of his former creed) pub- 

 lishes a most interesting account of the Coleoptera found in 

 the snow-fields of Benmucdhu, Braemar (amongst them being 

 Bryoj)orus rugipennis, the Mycetoporus introduced as tenuis 

 by Dr. Sharp, Acidota crenata, Honialota eremita, and 

 Arpediam)', Dr. Knaggs has drawn attention to the antics 

 of jumping may-buds, produced by the movements of an 

 enclosed Coleopterous larva (most probably that of Antho- 

 novius pedicularius) ', Mr. Moncreaff, whose faculty of accu- 

 rate observation of the habits of insects is, consequently, on 

 a par with his great success as a collector, raises the question 

 of double brooding in Thy amis during the year; Mr. J. Ray 

 Hardy records the bi'eeding of Eros affinis from a larva 

 found by him five years ago; Mr. Hislop publishes some notes 

 on the Coleoptera of Wiltshire, a county of the beetle-pro- 

 ductions of which we know literally nothing; and the 

 Rev. H. S. Gorham has commenced an enumeration of the 

 good species occurring near Maidstone.
