Mr. Hardy on the Entomologij of the Cheviot Hills. 169 



Homalium concinntjm. Agarics. 



,, vile, Er. Twelve specimens, in agarics, on trees 

 ,, brevicorne, Er. Eight specimens. On the underside 

 at the base, i.e. between it and the bark, of fresh growing 

 Polyporus radiatus on Alder, near Langlee, and also on the 

 Lill Burn. Mr. Eye writes me that this is on the British list 

 — but not generally known. He has two Fifeshire specimens 

 given him by Dr. Power, which Fauvel had erroneously named 

 gracilicorne. The examples now obtained serve to clear up the 

 species. The island of Sardinia is the locality given by Erichson. 

 Choleva longtjla, Kelner nee Murray. In agarics, Middleton 

 banks on Wooler water. 



,, coracina, Kelner. In a dead rabbit. Ditto. New to 

 Northumb erland . 

 ,, homo. Ditto. 

 ,, grandicollis. One. Ditto. 

 „ Kirbu. Several. Ditto. 

 ,, tristis. Swarms. Ditto; also in agarics. 

 „ Watsoni. Three. Ditto. 

 ,, sericea. Under a stone, top of Hedgehope. 

 Obs. Some of the Cholevse were found under agarics, but 

 they were all placed together. 

 SphjErites glabratus. One in the centre of a deliquescent 

 BJetus luteus. Almost the last insect to come forth, and very- 

 unwilling to move when it did tumble out. In a dark glen on 

 Wooler water, near Langlee, and leading to Langleyford 

 "backwood." This is new to England. The Berwickshire 

 example was found under rubbish, in a still more shaded dean. 

 Of late years several examples have been taken in the N. W. 

 of Scotland. It seems that the name Sarapies was first pro- 

 posed for this insect, but the description of it perished in the 

 conflagration of Moscow, in 1812. (Gyllenhal, Ins. Suec. IY., 

 p. 305). 

 Omosita depressa. One in an Agaric. 



Ehyzophagus depressus. Under bark of Scotch pine, Trickley 

 planting. 



,, dispar and BiprjsTULATUs. Both of these occurred 



in tree fungi, as well as under bark. 

 Cryptophagus Scanicus. In dry old agarics on trees. Heath- 

 pool Linn, and on the Lill Burn. 



„ pilosus, GylL On decayed Alder fungi ; Wooler 



water, near Langlee. Bare. 



,, dentatus. Several curious high-coloured varieties. 



With the preceding, but more numerous. Heathpool Linn, 



about Langlee, and on the Lill Burn. 



Mycetophiltjs mttltipunctatus. In the corky fungus of the 



Alder {Polyporus radiatus) ; occasionally also in tree agarics on
