represented here, and should be in full song at the time of the V.N.U. visit. The 
Dipper (common), and the Grey Wagtail may l)e seen along the streams. For 
several years a pair of Merlins nested on one of the slopes of Ingleborough — known 
as "The Allotments," and just beyond the Gaping Ghyll hole — and may do so yet.

Mr. Carter writes : — The district around Ingleton has not been systematically 
worked, the few species recorded having been obtained on flying visits. The rare 
species noted are Ca?al>iis arvcnsis, Ilbst. ; Nehria gyllenhali, Sch., and its variet\ 
i-7ifescejis, Stroem, quite recently added to the British list; Pterostic/ms wthiops, Pz. : 
Calathiii melanocephalus, var. nndigena, Hal. ; Palrobus assimilis, Chaud ; 
Byrrhtis ffisoiadis, F. ; Lathrobinni tniiltiptinciuvi, Gr. ; and Philonthtis addendus, 
Shp. The date of the meeting is a good time for investigating the coleopterous 
fauna of the district, and the sides and top of Ingleboro' will doubtless furnish 
some good species, especially of ground beetles — Geodephaga. Carabns glabraUis 
may possibly turn up. 
Mr. M. L. Thompson writes : — Dr. G. W. Chaster, when on a visit to 
Ingleton, met with the following beetles of interest — IscJmoglossa prolixa, Sipalia

"Milkini, Scaphisoma agaricinum, Apion loti^ A. seiiiciiltim^ and Cis fesiivtis. 
Mr. E. G. Bayford writes : — The Ingleton district promises well for the 
Coleopterist. Carabits glabratus Payk. was first taken here by Professor Plooker.
