Hab. — Japan (coll. mea). This specimen, Avhich I received from 

 Mr. 0. E. Janson, bears a label in Japanese which I am unable to 

 decipher. The species may be distinguished by the form of the sub- 

 genital lamina of the female.

Coleoptera at Oulton Broad and District. 



By E. C. BEDWELL. 



It would appear, from the lack of records, that Oulton Broad has 

 not had much attention paid it by coleopterists, and the object of this 

 paper is to emphasize the fact that this is not due to any scarcity of 

 material in the neighbourhood. Perhaps it would be as well if I pre- 

 faced my notes by a few remarks on the district. Oulton Broad is 

 situated on the north-east border of Suftblk, about two miles from 

 Lowestoft, it is one of the largest of the now well-known East Anglian 

 Broads, being about a mile long and upwards of 100 acres in extent. 

 On the north and west it is bounded by large tracts of marshes, 

 through which flows the Kiver Waveney ; it was in these marshes that 

 most of my collecting was done, few (if any) of my Captures being made 

 more than half a mile from some portion of the Broad. The list of 

 species is, I am sure, far from being a complete one of the district, and 

 must merely be looked upon as a list of the species that I have person- 

 ally taken there during a period of fifteen months, ending early in 

 April, 1899.
