Coleoptena. — The Coleoptera Committee will be officially represented 
by Mr. M. L. Thompson, F.E.S., who writes : — In the Circular for the Castleton 
Meeting (No. 230) two years ago, I mentioned some of the more uncommon 
beetles to be found on the Castleton and Danby Moors. As the routes on the 
present occasion are more in the direction of Kildale, some very good ground will 
be investigated both on the moors and in the Plr woods, as well as on the marshy 
spots which occur in the hollows. The following interesting beetles have been 
met with in this neighbourhood during recent years, viz. : — Amara lunicoLlis, 
Anchomcmis gracilis, Hydroporus iimhrosiis, H. longntus (cehiius), Ilybius isnescens, 
Rhantus bistriatus, Helophorus arvernicus, Gymnusa variegata, Hygvonoma dimidiata, 
Tachyporus transversalis, Megacronus cingulatus, Quedius fumatus, Q. umbrinus, Philon- 
thiis nigrita, Olophrum fuscum, Subcoccinella 24-piinctata, ApJiodius constans, Ancist- 
ronycha abdominalis, Tclcphorus paludosus, Dryophilus pusillus, Cassida flaveola, and 
Hypera pollux. 
Mr. E. G. Bayford, F.E.S., writes — Amongst the species which have been 
recorded, the following may be mentioned : —Notiophilus aqiiaticus, Olisthopiis 
rotundatus, Quedius molochinus, Stenus impressus, Oxytelus tetracarinaius, Mysia 
oblongoguttata , Anaitis ocellata, Lema lichenis, Apion dichroum, Strophosomus coryli. 
The interest that is now being taken in the variation of species is sufficient 
reason for pointing out that a visit to this district affords a splendid opportunity 
for studying the mountainous forms of even the commonest species. 
ARACHNIDA.^The Arachnida Committee will probably be officially 
represented. 
Mr. W. Falconer writes : — The district disputes with Spurn the honour of 
being the best in the county for rare and unexpected spiders. It is the only 
European locality for Hypsclistes ilorens Camb, a North American species; the only 
British locality for Notioscopus sarcinatus Cambr., a Central European Spider ; Ihs 
only Yorkshire locality lor Hypselistes jachsonii Ca/nb., Troxochrus ignobilis Camb., 
and Xysticus sabulosus Hahn. Other scarce spiders which elsewhere in the county 
occur in the S W. or more rarely, if at all, in the West are also to be found, e.g., 
Onesinda minutissima Camb, Hilaira uncata Camb, Centromerus arcanus and prudens 
Camb, 1 yphochrestns dorsuosus Camb, Lophocarenum mengii Sim, Caledonia evansii 
Camb, Cornicularia vigilax Bl, etc. Other uncommon Yorkshire spiders taken in 
the district are Agroeca brunnea Bl, Argyroneia aquatica Lair (water spider), Hahnia 
nava Bl, Hilaira excisa Camb, Enidia cornuta Bl., Coryphaeus distincius F.O. P. Cb., 
Diplocephalus beckii Camb., Xysticus erraticus BL, Oxyptila atomariaPanz., Cornicularia 
kochii Camb., etc. Some of the above, however, are only to be met with on the 
bold eminence known as Eston Nab, and have, therefore, a restricted range.
