REPORT ON THE COLEOPTERA OBSERVED IN 

 CLEVELAND. 



By M. Lawson Thompson, F.E.S. 



In the following report on Beetles occurring in the Cleveland 

 District in 1905, I have not confined myself to notes on the 

 species met with during that year. My purpose has also been (as 

 in my previous report) to bring together in one place some 

 additional, and at present, scattered information on local species, 

 which shall contribute to our knowledge of the distribution of 

 Coleoptera, as it affects our district. 



The notes for 1906, however, refer strictly to that year, the 

 species marked with an asterisk being new to Yorkshire, and 

 therefore of some interest. 



I had the pleasure of accompanying Mr. Richard S. Bagnall, 

 of Winlaton-on-Tyne, on a short visit to Saltburn Wood in 

 November, when the results of his work proved very gratifying.
