Mr. M. L. Thompson writes that he never did less collecting 

 during a season, and June was a bad month. Two days in 

 Swaledale in September, added nothing new to his previous 

 records from this locality. Miscodera arctica Pk. was picked up 

 in September at the head waters of the Esk above Casileton.

 This is the species described by Dr. Sharp (E.M.M., 1914. 

 Nov. 261) as distinct from ericeti Allard. It is said to have 

 been found by Wilkinson at Scarborough on Hdianthemum 

 (Rye, Ent. Ann., 1869, p. 55), but Dr. Sharp doubts the correct- 

 ness of this observation. It appears to be a northern species 

 and it probably not uncommon on Erica. 



As a further confirmation of the help received in the past 

 by the Coleoptera Committee from other members of the 

 Union, a large consignment of beetles was sent to the Secretary 

 by Air. W. Falconer, and contained, among many other species 

 of interest, Barypithes araneiformis Schr, *6-|., Atomaria 

 apicalis Er., *6-4 and Tachyporns atriceps Steph. (humerosus 

 Er.) from cut -grass heaps by roadside, Thornton in Lonsdale, 

 4tn August, 1916; Atomaria apicalis Er., *6j and Amaru 

 lunicollis Sch. (tiiree specimens — one bluish-black) from Chew 

 Valley, Greenfield, 15th July, 1916 ; Atomaria apicalis Er., and 

 Brachysomus echinatus Boris, *6 4 from Rigton Bank, Bardsey, 

 28th June, 1916 ; Choleva Kirbyi Spence, *6 3 from Hardcastle 

 Crags, 12th June, 1916 ; and Deliphrum tectum Pk., and 

 Syntomium ceneum Mull. *6 3 from Slaithwaite, 28th April,
