176 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



walking into Kinsgton at 9.45 p.m. I did a hard day's work and 

 was quite tired out. At the commencement I swept Coccinella 

 11-punctata and C. 22-punctata; obtained a couple of Mantura 

 rustica from clover ; Cassida viridis from thistles ; Lagria hirta, 

 generally common in hedges ; Anthrenus claviger from cow- 

 parsley. Took twenty Malachius ruficollis in a space of about 

 ten yards. This insect seems very local ; it occurs at Farnham 

 on the banks of the Wey, and also at Guildford, where Dr. 

 Capron has taken it. Anthocomus fasciatus, of which I captured 

 two specimens, is generally distributed at Esher, but is not 

 common ; it occurs on the small herbage growing by ditch sides ; 

 also in buttercup flowers, and prefers the shady side of the 

 hedge. Of Pyrochroa serraticornis I generally take one a year ; 

 captured the one for this season to-day. Gastrophysa polygoni 

 occurred sparingly, also Phcedon cochlearice. Gymnetron pas- 

 cuorum common in a recently-mown meadow ; took one Crypto- 

 hypnus quadripustulatus at same place. Beat Agrilus angustulus 

 from hazel ; tried for more, but rain descended and interrupted 

 my proceedings. These I continued again afterwards, but I got 

 only Chrgsomela didymata and a few Donacia sericea. Eemoved 

 some Necrophori and Cholevina from baits, and this finished my 

 labour for the day. 



July 7th. Had a couple of hours at Coombe, taking Attel- 

 abus curculionoides, Dolojnus marginatas, and three species 

 of Orchestes from oak; Ehynchites betulce, Athous niger, Crypto- 

 cephalus labiatus, Lema melanopa, &c, from miscellaneous 

 foliage ; also Bembidium quadrimacidatum and B. quadriguttatum 

 from a dried-up pond. 



This concludes the account of my captures up to present date. 

 I hope some other coleopterist will shortly give his experience.
