As will be seen our list of captures for 

 last year is very. small. We sugared several 

 times in the Spring, and also a few times in 

 the Summer and Autumn, but entirely 

 without success, many nights not a single 

 moth coming to the sugar. Again last year 

 we did not see one specimen of V. Cardui.

Plate II COLEOPTERA. 

 Our plate this month represents i( 

 specimens of Geodephagous Coleoptera 

 Most of them are sufficiently distinct, bu 

 those most nearly allied can at once h 

 separated by referring to the able paper 

 by Dr. Ellis and Mr. Smedley, should tht 

 plate prove insufficient. One little omissioi 

 has been made upon the plate, viz., the lini 

 indicating the natural size has been omittec 

 from the side of Chi. vestitus, it is, however 

 rather smaller than C. nigricoruis.
