1252 Insects. 



I may also mention, in addition to the Coleoptera recorded in the ' Entomologist ' 

 (Entom.223), I have since met with Choragus Sheppardi, Nedyus setiger, Gymnaetron 

 Beccabungae, Syncalypla maritima, and Claviger foveolatus in nests of Formica nigra 

 as well as flava. — S. Stevens ; 38, King Street, Covent Garden, March 6th, 1846. 



Note on the capture of Lepidopterous Insects at Black Park, Bucks. — In the ' Zoolo- 

 gist ' (Zool. 804), I have given a list of the productions of this interesting place up to 

 September, 1844 ; this last season has produced a few more rarities which perhaps are 

 worth recording in your pages, making the entomology of the place more complete, and 

 showing to your readers the richness of the locality.
