Fordham: Yorkshire Coleoptera in 1915. 205 
Various notes have been published by the members of the 
Committee in The Naturalist and The Entomologist’s Monthly 
Magazine, and these are noted in the text of the report. In 
addition however, attention should be drawn to Mr. G. B. 
Walsh’s paper on ‘ Observations on Some of the causes deter- 
mining the survival and extinction of insects with special 
reference to the Coleoptera’ (Entomological Monthly Magazine, 
August and September, 1915, pp. 225 and 257), in which 
many references are made to the beetle fauna of the Humber 
and the Tees areas. 
Dr. Corbett has also a note in The Naturalist (June, 1915, p. 
209), on ‘ Undesirable Insect Aliens at Doncaster.’ 
Carabus arvensis Hbst. Birdsedge, 3-5-1914. B. Morley, 
76gn WE. Gabe EMM. October, 1915, 293). Other 
previous Yorkshire records are re-called by Mr. Carter 
(E£. M.M., November, 1915, 311), and Mr. Walsh 
(EZ. M.M., November, 1915, 311),

over the globe and is evidently distributed by com- 
* merce. The only previous Yorkshire record is Middles- 
brough (a few specimens at Messrs. Dorman Long’s 
works—not at Grangetown as erroneously quoted by 
Mr. Walsh in his paper above referred to).
