species of Coleoptera were met with, including Cceliodes cardui, 

 Hbst., an insect new to the county. The coleopterists at Hebden 

 Bridge took twenty-five species ; whilst at Dent only eighteen 

 beetles were recorded, although the weather was favourable. 



Mr. Baytord has again found Blethisa muUipiinctata L. at 

 Ryhill Reservoir, this time in some numbers. The rare Trechus 

 rubens F. has occurred near Saltburn, where also Aphodius pusillus 

 Herbst. and Dorytomiis pectoralis Gyll. have been added to the 

 Yorkshire beetle fauna. Hydroena nigrita Germ, was taken at 

 Levisham, another insect not previously recorded for the county.

 possible after the end of the year.
