FIELD NOTES. 
BIRDS. 
White-tailed Eagle on Hackness Moor, near Scarboro’. 
During the visit of the Yorkshire Geologists to Scarborough 
at Easter, a large bird was seen near the woods at Hackness 
being mobbed by Rooks and Jackdaws. -.It was at an estimated 
altitude of five hundred feet. On Monday, May Ist, a White- 
Tailed Eagle was seen feeding on a lamb at Birch Hall, near 
Bickley, on the other side of Langdale End. A keeper shot 
it, and found that it was a Haliaétus albicilla, about three 
years old. It has been sent to the taxidermist to be set up. 
This bird has been seen in the Hackness district during the 
past three years, and Capt. Johnstone gave orders to his 
keepers not to shoot it, as no evidence of any damage had been 
seen by them. It is probable that the bird which the 
Yorkshire geologists saw at Easter, is the same that was shot 
on May tst, as the large bird which the keeper had seen in the 
district during the past three years has not been seen since that 
date.—Harry WI1Ty, Scarborough, 27th May, Igrt.

COLEOPTERA. 
Blethisa multipunctata L. in East Yorks.—I found a 
single specimen of this beetle under a stone on the banks of 
the river Derwent at Bubwith, on March 8th, of this year. 
It did not attempt to escape when uncovered, probably due 
to the cold weather. Further search under stones and among 
flood refuse and in the short grass has so far revealed no more 
specimens. Elaphrus riparius L. and EF. cupreus Duft. occur 
near by. The only previous record for the East Riding (as 
far as | am aware), is the existence of specimens in the Spence 
Collection (Hull Museum), which may have been taken in the 
ulledistriche (iheskev:)Watiriey (rans, YoNeUY 1885), 
says: ‘ Another of the Askham Bog rarities, but not taken for 
many years.’ The Bubwith locality is not more than twelve 
miles, as the crow flies, from Askham Bog. For further par- 
ticulars of this interesting beetle see Mr. Bayford’s article in 
‘The Naturalist,’ 1904, pp. 280-282.—W. J. ForpHam, Bub-

NEUROPTERA. 
Cumberland Neuroptera’ and Trichoptera.—I have 
recently examined on behalf of Mr. G. B. Routledge, some 
Neuroptera and Trichoptera taken in Cumberland, and most 
of them in the immediate vicinity of Tarn Lodge, Headsnook, 
Carlisle. As so little is known of the distribution of these 
insects in that county, and as most of them are additions to 
git Junet.
