in the train.

Two flies which would appear to be the too familiar 
Musca domestica, Linn., were taken near the station, as 
well as an obscure beetle found under a stone.

the hasty turning over of a few stones yielded the penta- 
tomid bug Diploxys acanthura, W estw.; four ants, Camponotus 
maculatus, Fabr.; also a dead beetle with a very hard 
carapace, <Anomalipus sp., represented in the British 
Museum collection, but without a name; as well as a 
weevil, Sparticerus sp.
