Insects. 8973 
Typha angustifolia growing in a large pond in the forest, but I have not found any 
other species with it. The other species I find most frequently on Sparganium, 
growing in a small stream which runs through the forest, and in the summer dries up 
into a series of pools. D. simplex I found very common on the banks of the River 
Wey, near Weybridge, at the beginning of July last.— R. G. Keeley ; 79, Marlborough 
Road, Chelsea, S. W., February 5, 1864. 
List of Coleoptera taken in the Liverpool District during 1862 and 1863:— 
Anchomenus peliduus, Payk. Bidston Marsh, one specimen, by shaking the 
bundles of dried reeds. November. 
Tlybius sexdentatus. This species has been added to the British list since Water- 
house’s Catalogue of 1861. Ihave one specimen found in the district; I believe I 
took it in the brook which runs on to the shore at Little Brighton. 
Hydroporus reticulatus, Fabr. In ditches in the Altcar rifle-ground. September. 
H. lepidus. The same situation, and at Crosby; also at New Brighton. 
Bledius fracticornis. I found several in May, 1862, by examining the floating 
weeds, &c., brought down Wallasey Pool in a flood. 
Hyduobius punctatus of Sturm. One by sweeping close to Hightoun. September. 
This is new to the British list. 
Saprinus quadristriatus. Not uncommon at New Brighton, at the base of the bare 
sand-hillocks. Most abundant in May. 
Ips quadripunctatus. The Fungi near Mostyn, Flintshire. 
Sarrotrium clavicorne. Abundant on the sand-hills behind Mr. Barucheon’s house, 
Crosby shore. June. 
Trogosita mauritanica, Tribolium ferrugineum. Abundant feeding on the inside 
of matting on the Crosby shore. June. These two species are probably introduced with 
the food. 
Niptus hololeucus. Mr. Brockholes has sent me this species from Paddington. 
Helophorus nubilus. Bidston Marsh. By sifting damp flood refuse. December. 
H. intermedius. Abundant in a shallow flash of water, Crosby sand-hills, near 
the mouth of the Alt; also on the banks of the Alt. This species has hitherto been 
unique in England, one specimen only being in Dr. Power’s collection. 
H. eneipennis. Ditches, Altcar rifle-ground. September. Also by sweeping 
grass overhanging a drain near the Alt. March. This species is new to the British 
Isles. 
H. dorsalis. Abundant in the ditches, Altcar rifle-ground. This is also new, 
being distinct from H. dorsalis. March. 
Cis villosulus. In Fungi near Halewood, associated with C. Boleti. 
Anaspis ruficollis. On Umbellifere flowers, Mostyn Wood. July. 
Adimonia Tanaceti. Sand-hills, New Brighton. October. 
Cryptocephalus ameolus. Common on New Brighton sand-hills (on sunny days 
only), or flowers of Hieracium pilosella and dandelion. May and June.—F. Archer, 
jun.; 10, Rodney Street, Liverpool, January 18, 1864, in ‘ Naturalist’s Scrap-Book.’ 
Note on Fulgora laternaria.—In all branches of Natural History there are certain 
species indelibly connected with some cherished history of childhood,—some that no 
doubt have been so united for centuries past: these we care not to separate, even
