In several bags of moss from this iieighbourbood I have taken plent)' 
of beetles, butnot many worth recording. Bevibidum ohtustim, vSturm., 
occurred sparingly as it usually does, and I noticed in lamp-light a blue 
reflection on the elytra which I had not observed before. I was pleased 
to take three species of Cholcva, viz., C. angustata, F., C. agilis. 111., and C. 
tristis^ Panz. ; unfortunately I only got a couple of specimens of each. In 
each of two bags of moss taken from a particular spot I got single speci- 
mens of each of these Cholevse ; Barypeithes sulnfrons, Boh. occurred pretty 
freely in the same spot as the Choleva.

Some new Molluscan Records for Co. Tyrone. 
Knowing that Tyrone had been somewhat neglected by concliolo- 
gists, we have often intended to visit it, but until January 22, 1906, our 
hopes were not realized. Unfortunately the day chosen for the "hunt' 
turned out frosty, otherwise a larger list than 36 species would have 
been recorded. The district visited w^as that lying west of the mouth of 
the Blackwater. This includes the Coalislaud canal and part of the 
shore of Lough Neagh. The rejectamenta in Washing Bay, Lough 
Neagh, proved our best collecting ground, in this flood refuse the follow- 
ing species were taken \—Agriolimax agrestis — in considerable numbers in 
various stages of decomposition. Helix hispida, Sticcinea ptitris, S. elegans^ 
Limncca stagnalis, L. peregra and var. lacnstris, Planorbis carinatus, P. albiis 
(rare), Hydrobia Jenkcnst, Bythinia tentaculata, Valvata piscinalis, Sphccrium 
conieum^ Pisidium aninicum, P. fontinale, P. pusilliun. The Hydrobia ac- 
counted for nearly 75 per cent, of the shelly part of the rejectamenta, in 
fact, it could have been easily collected with a shovel. With the excep- 
tion of a few of the Limmctt all of the above were dead shells. 
The following 16 records are new to Tyrone, according to the Concho- 
logical Society's Census of 1902 \—Arion subfuscus, A. hortensis, A. tiraim^ 
scripius^ Agriolimax agrestis, Hyalinia pura, Balca perversa, Siiccinca pulris^ 
Planorbis albus, P. carinatus^ Physa fontiualis, Limiiica stagnalis, Bythinia ten- 
taculata, Hydrobia Jcnkimi, Valvata cristata, Pisiditini aninicum, P. fontinale. 
On our way home a few moUusca were collected in Co. Armagh, of which 
the following are new to the county : — Arion circtiniscriptus, Liniax arborum, 
Vitrina pcllucida, Balea perversa, and Succinea putris. All the above were 
taken at the Armagh end of Verner's Bridge, which crosses the Black- 
water about i\ miles north of the railway. It might be well to mention 
that at this point the Blackwater forms the boundary between Armagh 
and Tyrone. We have used Dr. Scharff's nomenclature, as given in /. N.^ 
vol. i., 1892, in the above lists.
