for 1872, and for the same reason are not included in Dr.

Dr. Power remarks of Tribolium confusum, Duv., "no 

 doubt introduced." No one will probably dispute this; still 

 the remark would apply equally well to T. Jerruyineuni^ 

 Fab. The two species are about equally conmion in 

 collections, and are often found in company. Scopcens 

 subcylindricus, Scribe, can al present hardly be numbered 

 among British species, like some others {Apion scrobicolle, 

 Gyll., Maydalinus Heydeni, Desb., and Ceuthorliynchideus 

 Croichi, Bris.), ascribed to Biilain by continental enloniolo- 

 gisls. It requires "further verification." Additional localities 

 for the following species, included in Dr. Power's list, seem 

 worthy of note: — Harpalus A-piinclaius, Dej., Aviemore, 

 luverness-shire ; Anisotoma wucropus, Rye, Tilgale ; Lioso- 

 mus troylodylen, Rye, Chatham (J. J. Walker) ; Naiiophyes 

 gracilis, Redt., Tilgate, in profusion, August, 1875 ; and 

 OrcJiesfes seuiiru/iis, Gyll., Wcjking, not rare on wild cherry. 

 — G. C. Champion ; 274, Walworth Road, London, A})ril 

 9, 1878.

 this water-bug is mentioned as having been ft)uud very inju- 

 rious to carp-spawn. It may be of some interest to mention 

 that a specimen accidentally introduced into an aquarium, in 

 water procured from a pool not far from Isleworth (1 rather 

 think from Wandsworth) did uiuch harm to the small English
