Asiae borealis,’ by S. O. Lindberg and H. W. Arnell, October 
1888. 
Mr. Macvicar and myself find the following points the most 
useful in distinguishing Z. badenszs from L. turbinata (the latter 
such a characteristic Hepatic on the magnesian limestone of 
West Yorkshire). 
In Z. badenszs the leaves have a broad base (in L. ¢urbinatza, 
a narrow base, except generally in the male plant), the antical 
base is decurrent, and the cells smaller and slightly thickened 
at the angles (in Z. ¢urbinata the leaves are not decurrent at the 
antical base, and the leaf cells are larger without thickenings at 
the angles), and the stem has brownish copious rhizoids, with 
the postical side of stem brownish (in Z. turbinata the stems 
are concolorous, with comparatively few rhizoids, and the leaves 
are generally more remote and lie flat).

COLEOPTERA. 
Rare Beetles from the Doncaster District.—Among 
some Beetles lately sent by me to Mr. Donisthorpe for 
identification, the following rare species are worthy of note. 
Antstoma lucens Fair. taken in Wheatley Wood, August, 1904. 
Salpingus foveolatus Ljun. taken in Wheatley Wood, March . 
1903. Philonthus addendus Shp. taken at Potteric Carr, March 
1904. Philonthus proximus Kr. taken at Finningley, August 
1903. Ischnoglossa prolixa Gr. taken in Sandal Beat, May 1905. 
On Thursday, February 28th of the present year, I visited 
Wheatley Wood along with Mr. Bayford and my son, when 
we had the good fortune to take eight specimens of the very 
rare Carpophilus sexpustulatus F. They were obtained from 
dead Hoodie-crows on a ‘keeper’s tree!’ This is a most 
unexpected habitat for the species. —H H. Corsetr, Don-
