and quality, and has resulted in the addition of seventeen species 
to the county list. Among these are several that doubtless are 
of common occurrence, but being inconspicuous and difficult of 
determination, they have hitherto escaped recognition. Others 
are, on the contrary, conspicuous insects that must have been 
recognised and recorded had they been previously captured, 
and these form very interesting additions to our local fauna. 
Besides these, we have many records of more or less rare and 
local species from new localities. A list, with locality and cap- 
tor's name, is appended. 
On the whole, the season has not been a good one for beetles, 
and collecting has been, in many cases, disappointing. The only 
species that have been recorded as of abnormal abundance are 
AncJiomenns dorsalis L., at Doncaster during the Spring (H. H. C.) 
and Amaru aitlica Pz., near Scarborough, at the end of August' 
(\V. C. H.). It is somewhat remarkable that there are very few 
records of anything out of the common d^mongth^ Hydradephaga, 
Phyiophaga or Heteromera. 
In the following list of species noted during the past season, 
those marked v.ith the asterisk (*) are new county records, and 
species marked ( j) are new to the res]:)ective county division.
