 decoloratn, E. ailri/aia, M. tristata occurs in Harwood Dale itself. A. menyan-

Coleoptera. — The Yorkshire Coleoptera Committee will be officially repre- 

 sented by its Secretary, Mr. M. L. Thompson, F.E.S. 



Mr. W. Pearson writes : — Harwood Dale seems to have been very little worked 

 bv local Naturalists. The only beetle given as having actually been taken at 

 Harwood Dale in our local record books is Clythra qtiadripunciata. But as 

 the following species have occurred within the last five or six years, at places 

 in the immediate vicinity, we may reasonably expect to find them in the Dale. 

 Carabus viotiilis, Nebria brevicollis, Hydropus sepieniriotialis, Agabits guiiatus, 

 Sinodendron cylitidruu??!, Geoirupes iypJucus, Aphodius htridus, Poxotus meridiaii7ts, 

 and Phvllotreia uinhilaia. at Langdale-end. SpJueridium scarabceoides, at 

 Whisperdales. Siaphyliniis casareiis, at Maw Rigg. Lampyris noctilucu 

 (female), at Cloughton. Rhagium inquisitor, at Hackness.
