YORKSHIRE COLEOPTERA IN 1912. 
E. G. BAYFORD, F.E.S. 
FURTHER to the note in The Naturalist for January, page 82, 
one addition to the county list, made in 1g12, deserves special 
mention, viz., Helops pallidus Curtis, found in profusion at 
Spurn by Messrs. Stainforth and Walsh. The northernmost 
records given by Fowler are Harwich on the East Coast, and 
Wallasey, in Cheshire on the West. Since 1891, the date of 
publication of Fowler’s volume dealing with the species, the 
known range on the west has been extended northward across 
the Mersey to Formby, midway between Liverpool and South- 
port, where it has been taken by Prof. Hudson Beare. On 
the East Coast, Mr. Claude Morley, F.E.S., records one specimen 
‘on Felixstowe sandhills, dead, and imperfect,’ and adds ‘I 
should have some hesitation in including my very poor specimen 
if I did not know that the species occurs just across the river 
at Harwich and in other localities along the Essex Coast.’* 
The locality in which Messrs. Stainforth and Walsh found 
the species is the most northern point yet recorded for it, and 
is about 120 miles as the crow flies from Felixstowe, which is 
the southern extremity of the County of Suffolk. It will be 
interesting to note how long it will take to link up these widely 
distant localities ; the coast lines of Lincolnshire, Norfolk and 
Suffolk, intervening between them, presenting a coast line of 
about two hundred miles in extent. In this connection it is 
noteworthy that Mr. Horrell’s capture of the allied species 
H. striatus Fourc. at Cloughton is the first and only known 
record for the North Riding. 
In addition to the tollowing, which comprise the more 
interesting records, are those referred to in Mr. Horrell’s notes 
on pp. 103-104. 
The initials are those of Drs. Corbett and Fordham, Messrs. 
FE. C. Horrell, E. W. Morse, T. Stainforth, M. L. Thompson, 
G. B. Walsh and E. G. Bayford.
