list from the same place, where he got it out of a bag of oak branches, and another specimen has 

 been taken in the New Forest, and is now in the Bates collection. Rhynchites interpunctatus occurs 

 on young hawthorn buds at Buddon Wood, and R. pubescens on oak. A single specimen of the rare 

 Otiorhynchus ligustrici was taken at Bradgate by Mr. H. W. Bates, and Caenopsis fissirostris in the same 

 locality. Cryphalus abietis was first discovered in England at Gumley, by Rev. A. Matthews, but 

 has since been taken in several other localities. 



In the space available it is only possible to give a list of the rarer species, with brief notes on 

 the more important ones. 



Most of the species not recorded by Fowler for the Midlands are specially mentioned, though 

 it is quite possible many of them occur in our adjoining counties. ' No other Midland record ' 

 refers to Fowler's British Coleoptera. 



The classification followed is that of Beare and Donisthorpe.
