 named at the Sonth Kensington Natural History Museum.

Chrysomela goettingensis L.— I obtained one example 

 of this species in a sand hole at Kellingley, near Knottingley, 

 Yorks., May 28th, 1808. This is interesting in conjunction 

 with. Mr. Bayford's record for Edhngton, as extending the

 this insect freely under pine logs at Wilton Wood, Cleveland,

 larvse and imagines of Rliagium bifasciatum F. I also took this 

 latter insect from alder stumps at Lonsdale, Great Ayton, on 

 January 25th, 1908 (both larvae and perfect insects).

 in moss at the roots. 



Aromia moschata L. — One specimen at rest on an oak 

 sapling among sallows near Skipwith, East Yorks., September 

 nth, 1909. The last two are probably new records for East 

 Yorkshire.
