COLEOPTERA, CHIEFLY FROM HinpHEAD.—Mr. Arthur J. 
RICHARDS, who was present as a visitor, exhibited several 
scarce Coleoptera, giving the following data :— 
One specimen of Dytiscus dimidiatus, taken in a ditch near 
Birchington, Kent, May Ist, 1908. 
One specimen of Hmus hirtus, found dead under rotten 
fungi, Sept. 15th, 1910, at Hindhead. 
One specimen of Onthophagus taurus, taken in cow-dung, at 
Hindhead, May 15th, 1910.
