 oak woods 



Saperda scalaris, L. Formerly taken in 

 some abundance by the old collectors 

 in the ' doughs ' round Manchester 



Stenostola ferrea, Schrank. Manchester dis- 

 trict 



Owing to the presence in South Lan- 

 cashire of large quantities of foreign 

 timber, principally pine and larch im- 

 ported in the bark, and used extensively 



LAMUDiE {continued) 



in the colliery districts for pit props — 

 the occurrence of many rare British 

 and European wood feeding Coleop- 

 tera is not unusual. Such records 

 are of course difficult to dissociate 

 from those of the indigenous fauna, 

 and the possibility of such involun- 

 tary immigrants becoming tempor- 

 arily established in the natural timber 

 of the district adds to the ambiguity 

 of many of these recorded occurrences
