A FORTNIGHT IN THE NEW FOREST IN JULY. 1738 
phagus ferrugineus Pk., Laemophloeus ferrugineus Steph., and Triphyllus 
punctatus F., pale form, under bark; Byrrhus pilula F., B. fasciatus 
F., very variable series, and B. dorsalis F.,in sand-pit; Aphodius de- 
pressus Kug., sweeping ; (reotrupes pyrenaeus Charp., on sandy spot, 
near putrid fungi; Serica brunnea L., in sand-pit. 
Anomala aenea De G. This beetle occurred in numbers near the 
sand-pit and I spent many hours observing its habits, and was 
especially interested in it, as I had never before taken the green or 
blue forms. It did not appear to come out until after 11 o’clock 
when specimens might be found on the sand and at the entrance to 
small holes in a sandy bank with a little moss and turf growing on it. 
I dug up specimens, and also the larve, not very deep in the ground. 
Later in the day the beetles began to fly briskly in the sunshine. Out 
of some 50 specimens noted, the majority were all green of various 
shades, apparently the type (aenea) ; 5 had deep blue elytra with green 
head and thorax (=ab. bicolor Torre) ; of 6 with yellow elytra, 3 had 
the head and tho1ax quite green (=ab. frischi F.), and 8 with more 
or less yellow side borders to the thorax (=ab. tricolor Torre). Some 
of the green forms have the elytra slightly bluish. Of the specimens 
in my collection from Deal, Birkdale and Woking, all have the elytra 
yellow, those from the two former localities with distinct yellow 
borders to the thorax, and those from the last-named locality with 
more or less yellow borders; all would be classified ab. tricolor, I 
suppose.

JWOTES ON COLLECTING, Etc. 
Norges on Cottectine in 1918.—Except during my holiday from 
July 8th to August 8th, much of which was spoilt by bad weather, I 
have only had four days’ collecting this year. On May 30th I went to 
Guildford, walking over the downs from Horsley to Gomshall. At
