196 THE entomologist's uecord. 



The only entomological record of importance was the capture of 

 liai/rrJiiis fasciatiis on the Gragreth summit. 



Weliavejust received I'/ic ('olcoptn-a nf Siipalk, by Claude Morley, 

 F.E.S. (printed by J. H. Keys, Whimple Street, Plymouth, 1H99). Ife 

 consists of a complete list of all the Coleoptera recorded from Huliblk 

 up to date, a map of Suftblk showing the different districts, a preface 

 embracing a list of the literature relating to Suffolk Coleoptera, the 

 geology and physical features of the county, and, at the end, a com- 

 parative table showing the number of species in the different families 

 found in Suffolk as compared with Norfolk and the Avhole of Great 

 Britain. The number of species enumerated from Suftblk reaches o, 

 total of 1768. Altogether it is a most exhaustive, painstaking and 

 valuable addition to the literature relating to our insular Coleoptera. 

 Mr. ^lorley has gone, as should be done, to the very earliest records, and 

 has taken much trouble to confirm and verify them, and has erected a 

 satisfactory basis on which to build up future lists. We do not quite 

 agree with Mr. Morley's idea of length of time. He says, writing about 

 Cahisniiia siic<>it]ianta: " The first recorded specimen was taken srccrrt/ years 

 ago," and goes on to say, " It was subsequently found near Southwold 

 (Stephs., Ill Its., 1,S27)". Mr. Morley appears to be mistaken about 

 Aijlcuiis hnijtiuiis, GyW. not being British. He writes :" . . . but 

 does not appear to have yet occurred in Britain ... I know of no 

 indigenous specimen." Fowler {<'nl. lUit. Isles) gives the following 

 localities for it : — "Esher, Ashford (Kent), Cowley, Birdbrook (Essex), 

 Forest Hill, Edgbaston, and probably Gloucestershire." We have 

 taken it oiit of old wood infested by I'ciitart/iniiii luittnui in a cellar in 

 Shoe Lane. On the whole, however, it is a very praiseworthy pub- 

 lication, and all coleopterists interested in the geographical distribu- 

 tion of our British species should obtain a cojn'. 



We understand that it has been decided by the authorities of the 

 City of London Entomological and Natural History Society to com- 

 mence the publication of the long-promised London lists of Lepidop- 

 tera and Coleoptera with the next part of their Tianmctions. Mr. 

 Prout and Mr. H. Heasler respectively have undertaken to bring the 

 lists up to date, and will doubtless be glad to hear of all recent records 

 for the district. The limits of the district are as published in Kntnii. 

 Hcconl, vol. iii., pp. G8-G9, a circle of about ten miles from Charing 

 Cross. Communications on the subject should be addressed to Mr. 

 L. B. Prout, 210, Richmond Road, N.E. (Lepidoptera) ; Mr. H. 

 Heasler, 50, Aytoun Road, Brixton, S.AV. (Coleoptera). 



Mr. L. de Niceville, the well-known lepidopterist, who has been on 

 a visit to England for the past two months, was at the meeting of 

 the Entomological Society of London on June 7th. He returns to 

 Calcutta very shortly. 



Mr. Champion {I'!nt. M<i. Mai/., June) points out that the insect 

 figuring under the name of I'/ii/tubiits quaih-imnlosus, GylL, in British 

 collections is really /'. uiiiricatiis, Bris. He also records several 

 specimens of Stj/lnjis imiittac, Kirby, from his garden at Woking in 

 May. Mr. F. H. Day records the very rare Libia crii.riiiinor which he 

 took on April 15th, 1899, in a meadow near Carlisle.
