Entomological Excursion to Spain. 51 



From La Granja we went on to Madrid, spending a day 

 or two there to visit the Museum, etc. Leaving Madrid on 

 Aug. 5th, we proceeded northward to Navalperal (41G5 ft.), 

 in the Province of Avila, and at the western extremity of 

 the Guadarrama. Here we were joined by the Spanish 

 entomologist, Manuel Escalera, who accompanied us to 

 the "Pinar" of Las Navas, etc. The partially-dried-up 

 streams at this place furnished a large number of water- 

 beetles, Deroncctcs carinatus being particularly abundant, 

 and on the sandy banks we found Acylophorus glabricollis, 

 various Bembidia, etc. In the pine forest we obtained 

 divers Longicornia and other beetles, from the earthen- 

 ware cups placed on the pine trunks to catch the exuding 

 resin, such as NothorrMna muricata, Ergates faber, Tcm- 

 nochila ccerulea, etc. Our time, however, at Navalperal 

 was limited, and we finished our collecting here by 

 catching several males of Vesperus Irevicollis, just before 

 commencing our long homeward journey. It may be 

 worth noting, perhaps, that at Irun, on July 7th, we 

 observed Hylotrurpes bajulus in numbers on the telegraph 

 posts, in which the females were depositing their eggs.
