 Fair. — In plenty, Derwent Valley. P. aptera, Guer. (?). — Gibside.

 ''E. angustula, Er. -'Monotoma conicicollis, Aub. *ili. formicetoriun, 

 Th. M. qiiadrifoveolata, Aub. — An example apparently referable to 

 this species from cellar, Winlaton, is unfortunately lost. Enicmits

 C. rujicornis, Steph.- — In a powdery fungus (decayed Daldinia con- 

 centrica?), Winlaton. Atomaria hadia, Er. — Several taken by Mr. 

 Donisthorpe and myself in the Corbridge pinewoods. A. versicolor. 

 Er. — Mr. Newbery has kindly examined several of my Atoum^-ia, and 

 refers a very distinct looking pair, taken at Winlaton Mill, to this nice 

 species. Asemuni striatum, L. — Evidently common at Corbridge ; 

 taken by Mr. Gillanders, and myself. Phyllodecta cavifrons, Th. — 

 Winlaton Mill. Longitarsus gracilis, Kuts., var. poioe7-i, All. — Hart. 

 Apian tenue, Kirb. — Sea-banks, Warkworth. Two interesting species 

 of Scolytidae have been taken in the district by Mr. Gillanders, viz., 

 Pityophthoras puhescens, Marsh, and Trypodendron lineatam, 01. 



Of rare and interesting species taken during the year I may mention 

 — Licinus depressus, Pk., Bradi/cellus distinctus, Dj., Pterostichus vitreus, 

 Dj., Agabus biguttatus, 01., Oxypoda brachyptera, Steph., Megacronus 

 cingulatus, Man., and M. incllnans, Gr., Heterothops dissiinilis, Gr., 

 Qiiediiis scintillans, Gr., Q. auricoinus, Kies. ; a nice series of all these, 

 excepting the Oxypoda and M. cingulatus. Quedius fulvicollis, Steph. 

 (one), Ocypus ater, Gr., Medon obsoletus, Nor. (three), Lesteva sJiarpi, 

 Eye, L. punctata, Er., Acrulia injiata, Gyll., Phloeocharis, various 

 Agathidium, including badium, Er., Liodes orbicularis, Hbst., Choleva 

 spadicea, Stm., Triplax bicolor, Gyll., in extraordinary profusion in 

 about thirty localities, between the extreme west of Gibside, and 

 Hollinside on the east, points separated by three miles of woodland. 

 Alexia pilifera, Miill., Florilinus musaeorum, L., Aspidiphorus orbicu- 

 latus, Gyll., Elmis cupreus, Miill., Corymbites tessellatus, F., Meloe 

 violaceus, Marsh., in numbers, Liuiobius dissimilis, Hbst., Acalles 

 ptinoides. Marsh., Dryocaetes alni, Georg., etc. From this hastily 

 prepared note it is very evident that, though we boast of over 1700 

 species within the district, that a great deal yet remains to be done, and 

 resident collectors in many localities, such as, say, Corbridge in Tyne- 

 dale, Egglestone in Teesdale, Banburgh on the coast, or Kothbury in 

 the hills, would, week by week, add to our northern coleopterous fauna.

 pseudacori, and the beetle was found in great profusion in the capsules
