COLEOPTERA IN NORTH-EAST YORKSHIRE. 
M. LAWSON THOMPSON, 
Saltéurn-by-the-Sea. 
As being likely to contain its measure of interest for coleopterists 
I have here made a selection from my working notes on the 
occurrence of beetles in North-east Yorkshire. 
A merely partial acquaintance with the results of the most recent 
investigations admits of but slender reference to features in insect 
distribution suggested by these notes, but I believe that something 
like half the number of species constituting this list may prove to 
be additions to the coleoptera at present known to inhabit 
Yorkshire, and that many of the insects brought under notice are 
still considered rare in the North of England. 
For their kindness in examining closely allied forms, and naming 
species which were beyond me, my thanks are due to the Revs. Canon 
Fowler and W. C. Hey, Dr. Sharp and Mr. J. Gardner.
