172 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S RECORD. 
ings of any sort. Most of the trees in this enclosure had been felled, 
so I suspect the insect had been introduced in stores, or something, 
when the Canadian Forestry Corps was camping near by. I must say 
that the felling of trees has been done very well, and very little damage, 
if any, has been caused. The trees cut down being mostly Scots Firs; 
none of the fine old oaks or beeches being touched at alJ. My cousin, 
Major H. Donisthorpe, who is now in France with the Canadian 
Foresters, had given me an introduction to the officers in the Forest, 
should I run across any of them in my rambles; but I did not do so. 
One was continually reminded of the War by the sight and sound 
of aeroplanes flying all over parts of the Forest. A large camp of air- 
men was situated at Beaulieu, and one captain and two lieutenants 
from this camp were killed during my short stay. One poor fellow 
came down quite close to the hotel; his aeroplane being smashed to 
bits. 
The following Coleoptera were taken, or noticed, many of which, 
of course are quite common or uninteresting :—Cicindela campestris 
L.; Cychrus rostratus L., in sand-pit; Carabus catenulatus Scop.; C. 
granulatus L.; C. nemoralis Mull; C. monilis F.; C. arvensis Hbst., 
and C. violaceus F., in sand-pit ; Notiophilus, a black specimen, which 
Blair and I make out to be N. pusilius Wat., at roots of grass; Har- 
palus honestus and Pterostichus lepidus F., not uncommon in the sand- 
pit (one specimen being entirely black), also found on heaths; P. ob- 
longo-punctatus F., under chips of wood; Aba striola F.; Amara 
patricia Duft., a nice specimen in sand-pit; Olistophus rotundatus Pk., 
sand-pit ; Rhantus n. sp., in a puddle of water on the path; this is a 
very curious specimen, it is entirely black beneath, but it certainly is 
not pulverosus, being smaller and the puncturation quite different, the 
antennae are dark, ringed with yellow at the base of the joints, the 
head is quite black, the thorax and elytra are dark with only the side 
borders yellowish. I can find nothing like it in the Museum, nor in 
descriptions. I have told Dr. Sharp the locality and trust further 
specimens may be found in the ditches near by; I had no water-net 
with me at the time. Paracymus nigroaeneus F., common in pools of 
water in a sand-pit in company with Hydrochus angustatus Germ., 
Hydraena testacea Curt., etc.; Helophorus aeneipennis Th., in numbers 
in a small depression in a large felled tree, full of water; Aleochara 
fumata Gr., in fungi; Oxypoda vittata Mark., with Dendrolasius fuligi- 
nosus; Atemeles paradoxus Gr., three specimens with Formica fusca v. 
glebaria, a new record for the Forest; Thamiaraea cinnamomea Gr., 
at Cossus tree; Homalota liturata Steph., with D. fuliginosus ; Homa- 
lota divisa Miark., in sand-pit; Gyrophaena gentilis Kr., and G. affinis 
Sahlb., in fungi; Mycetoporus brunneus Marsh., and M. clavicornis 
Steph., in sand-pit: Hptpeda plana Gyll., Ischnoglossa_prolixa Gr., 
under bark; Ocyusa incrassata Muls., in sandpit; Quedius lateralis Gr. 
under bark ; Staphylinus stercorarius Ol., with Tetramorium caespitum ; 
S. erythropterus L., in bog; Philonthus splendidulus Gr., under bark ; 
Anthobium ophthalmicum Marsh., beating chestnut blossoms; Phdloeo- 
charis subtilissima Man., under bark; Agathidium seminulum L., and 
Liodes humeralis Kug., under bark; Silpha atrata L., in sand-pit; 
Huthia plicata Gyll., with F. rufa; Litargus bifasciatus F., Ditoma 
crenata F., and Cerylon ferrugineum Steph., under bark; H’puraea ob- 
soleta F'., Soronia grisea L., and Ips 4-guttata F., at Cossus tree ; Rhizo-
