Insects. 4195 



Capture of an Aphodius in Cumberland new to the British Fauna. — In the month 

 of August, 1852, a friend and myself made an excursion to Cole Fell, in Cumber- 

 land, hoping to meet with some of the insects dwelling in such elevated regions ; but 

 the day being sunless, the wind high, and accompanied by a drizzling rain, we were 

 to a considerable extent unsuccessful. However, under cover of our umbrellas, we 

 managed to pick up a fine series of Aphodius Lapponum, Gyll., of all shades of co- 

 lour, from red to jet black, and three specimens of Aph. alpinus, Scop., Erichs., = A. 

 rubens, Dej., Muls., = A. dilata, Beer. ; a species, I believe, not hitherto taken in this 

 country. — Thos. Jno. Bold ; Angus' Court, Bigg Market, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Decem-

Capture of Gracilia minuta near Sunderland. — My friend, Mr. Wm. Peacock, has 

 taken a pair of the exceedingly graceful Gracilia minuta, Fab., so far North as Sun- 

 derland ; one of which he has kindly added to my collection. It forms a welcome 

 addition to our local Fauna. — Id. 



Re-occurrence of Bembidium Schuppelii in Cumberland. — Since recording the oc- 

 currence of Bembidium Schuppelii (Zool. 3289), I have taken, in August, 1852, ano- 

 ther specimen ; and a friend, whom I directed to the locality, procured no less than a 

 dozen in the latter end of May last. In July, I carefully searched the same ground, 

 without seeing even the shadow of a Bembidium ; perhaps, like the greater part of 

 the genus, it is most abundant during the spring months. — Id.
