HEY : LIST OF YORKSHIRE COLEOPTERA. 9 



the present century, but was not taken plentifully till many 

 years after. Its favourite habitat is the lower part of the 

 cliffs of boulder clay, where it may be taken abundantly 

 under stones and in crevices. The earliest date at which 

 I have taken the perfect insects is May 17th, but they were 

 then very soft. The larvae have been observed in Gristhorpe 

 Bay in January.

2. N.E. — Scarborough {R.L.) \ Whitby {E.B.W.) ; 

 Redcar {G. T. Rudd) ; Gristhorpe Bay {W.K.B. and W.

[Note. — Owing to a very natural misapprehension of some 

 remarks made by Mr. T. V. Wollaston {vide Zool., 1846), 

 N. complanata has been considered a Yorkshire insect. 

 I can meet with no evidence of its capture on this coast ; 

 indeed the evidence points the other way.]
