1871.) 85 
germannie (by sweeping), Baridius picicornis (at roots of Reseda lutea, as usual), 
Aphodius arenarius and Deleaster,on the wing, have also occurred to me in the same 
locality. 
Whilst staying in the New Forest, at Brockenhurst, during the end of last June, 
I obtained, in addition to the ordinary New Forest things, a specimen of Emus 
hirtus, which occurred just under the edge of some fresh cow-droppings amongst 
heath ; Colydiwm elongatum, one specimen under the loose bark of a felled beech 
(unaccompanied by Platypus, which I dug out of stumps) ; Synchita mediolanensis 
(?), several specimens under bark of beech, accompanied by a few Lemophleus bima- 
culatus and Lathridius carbonarius ; Athoiis rhombeus, one specimen, dug out of a 
rotten stump; Melasis buprestoides, dug out of a felled beech tree; Leptura scutel- 
lata, about 30 specimens, dug out of a solid beech stump, a number more being 
smashed in the process; Strangalia aurulenta, also dug out of a stump, with several 
larvz, which I failed to breed ; Anoplodera sex-guttata, on umbelliferous flowers ; 
Grammoptera analis and Strangalia nigra, by sweeping ; 'ychius 5-punctatus, a few 
specimens on wild tare in plantations; Tomowia biguttata, rather common (but 
difficult to secure), flying about in the hot sun and settling on stumps and felled 
logs, also dug out of stumps; Dasytes niger, Lin. (omitted accidentally from Dr. 
Sharp’s new catalogue), a few specimens picked up singly at different times, in 
flowers, &c.; Phleotrya Stephensii, two or three, under bark of stumps, and one dug 
out of solid, hard wood ; Mycetochares bipustulata, Diacanthus bipustulatus, and Phi- 
lonthus splendidulus occurred sparingly under bark. Tomicus Saweseni, Brachytarsus 
varius, &c., occurred by casual sweeping. Telephorus testaceus was commonly taken 
by sweeping in a marshy place, and unaccompanied by limbatus. 
A hurried visit from Brockenhurst to Bournemouth produced Polydrosus con- 
flvens in quantity, on furze, there being no broom within sight, as far as I could 
ascertain. Sinicronyx pygymeus and cicur, and Apion scutellare also occurred in the 
same locality. 
. Phiwophagus spadix: I found this species somewhat commonly, in July, at 
Harwich, sticking about the old stumps on the shore (some in cop.) at low water, 
in company with Ischnomera melanura, scarcely above (some indeed were below) 
high water mark. I also found a few specimens by breaking open the stumps; so 
I have no doubt that it breeds in them, probably just above high water mark. 
I may also note that I have secured a second specimen of Baridius scolopaceus, 
from the same locality as before; but all my workings at the plants mentioned in 
my previous note haye, up to the present time, proved abortive.—G. C. CHAmPIon,

Captures of Coleoptera in Buddon Wood, Leicestershire.—In the last week of May 
I took, along with many others, the following species :— 
Calosoma inquisitor, in plenty, off the stems and trunks of oaks, at dusk ; Rhyn- 
chites ophthalmicus, by beating hawthorn; Clythra quadripunctata, off elder trees, 
in the neighbourhood of ants’ nests; Trachodes hispidus and Acalles roboris, by 
beating the fallen stems and twigs of oak; Staphylinus pubescens, pretty freely, run- 
ning about a dead rook. 
With regard to Colosoma inquisitor, where collectors of Coleoptera only find one
