 plentifully in May last." — Mr. Ingpen.

 been taken in the south ; one near Bottisham, by the Rev. L. Jenyns ; a 

 second in Battersea-fields, by Mr. Ingpen ; the third near Hoxton, by Mr. 

 Chant; and the fourth at Kimpton, by the Rev. G. T. Rudd, who lately re-

 near Gravesend in May last." — Messrs. Bainbridge and Stone. " Again near 

 Dorking in May last, several specimens, which vary considerably in the number 

 of impressions at the apex of the elytra ; in one there are as many as ten on 

 the third interstice, while another has but seven ; some have four on the fifth,

 one on the fourth interstice, in addition to the usual number." — Mr. Waterhouse.

 the Rev. G. 'i\ Rudd in great profusion at Dorking and near Kimpton, the 

 specimens varying excessively in size and colour, some being scarcely two 

 lines in length, while others are nearly five; and the colour of the elytra 

 being of various shades of green, blue, dusky, and black, with the costs; 

 more or less developed ; nevertheless, all the varieties may be recognised with
