56 COLEOPTERA. 



and Dr. Power has made no sign, some good things to 

 chronicle. 



Mr. J. J. Walker, of Sheerness, seems likely to rival the 

 above-mentioned " Leviathans " (and, if it be possible, with 

 even less of interested motives than those gentlemen, as he 

 keeps absolutely no collection) in his successful energy and 

 discrimination as a collector. Good things too numerous to 

 specify are recorded by him from the Tsle of Sheppy, and 

 other parts of North Kent (Ent. Mo. Mag., ix, pp. 216 and 

 269 ; X, pp. 83 and 159), of which, however, I may specially 

 note Polystichus, Throscus obtusus, Platynaspis villosa, 

 Crepidodera pubescens, Homalota elegantula, Leptinus 

 ( at entrance of nest of a Bombus, ? subterraneus) in numbers, 

 Aleochara sanguinea, Homalota pulchra and orphana, 

 Atomaria peltata, Phalacrus Humberti, Eiigis humeralis, 

 Mycetophagus A-gnttatuSy Apion Schoeiiherri^ Trogo- 

 phloeus foveolatus, Trachys troglodytes^ Mycetoporus 

 nanus, Oxytelus clypeonitens, Monotonia A-foveolata, 

 Scydmceniis prceteritus, Rye, Antherophagus silaceits, 

 Colon viennense, Gymnetron rostellum, Staphylinus late- 

 bricola, Saprinus metallicus and Ceuthorhynchus vicinus. 



Mr. Walker has also (/, c, x, p. 159) recorded some cap- 

 tures on Holy Island, Northumberland, where Serica 

 brunnea and Anisotoma ditbia (40 in one afternoon !) 

 appear to be unusually abundant. 



Some of the following species, with others, have been 

 recorded in Ent. Mo. Mag., x, pp. 39 and 159, by Mr. G. C. 

 Champion : — 



Aetophorus imperialis, in quantities. Sills ruficollis, 

 Ceuthorhynchus viduatits, and other good things, near 

 Ilford, Essex ; Homalota rnfotestacea (possibly not a 

 Homalota, and certainly belonging to another species than 

 that named, and probably new, according to Dr. Sharp),
