REPORT ON COLEOPTERA OBSERVED IN 

 CLEVELAND. 



By M. Lawson Thompson, f.e.s. 



The following Report on Beetles occurring in the Cleveland 

 District is compiled from observations made during 1909, 

 except in a few instances. Mr. G. B. Walsh, B.Sc, has 

 kindly contributed some notes on local species, the result 

 of his own examination of various localities within the area 

 of our investigations. Notwithstanding the weather con- 

 ditions being far from favourable during most of the season, 

 our combined efforts have added some interesting insects 

 to the list of previously recorded Cleveland Coleoptera, 

 which now numbers 950 species.
