ENTOMOLOGY.— 



Coleoptera. — Mr. M. Lawson Thompson writes that the district has not been 

 systematically investigated for beetles, but should produce interesting species that 

 are living on plants at this time of the year. Toxoliis nieridianiis has been taken 

 at Stokesley. Mr. T. Ashton Lofthouse says that the Glow Worm has been taken 

 in the adjoining dale (Bilsdale), and will probably occur here. 



Lepidoptera. — Mr. T. Ashton Lofthouse writes that part of the district 

 covered by this excursion is well wooded, some of the woods being old ones ; 

 they have the appearance of being likely ground for entomological research.
