. ENTOMOLOGY. — The Entomological Section will be officially represented. 
Lepidoptera. — Mr. J. W. Boult writes : — Th*? district to be visited is 
perhaps one of the most promising that could have been selected in the 
East Riding, as there are entomologists in Hull who can recollect many very' rare 
insects being taken in Drewton Dale and neigbourhood. Of recent years, how- 
ever, the district has not received much attention, and it is not at all improbable that 
in some of the undisturbed parts many intviresting insects whicli have been lost sight 
of still exist, as in fact has been found to be the case in one or two instances from in- 
vestigations during recent years. The following insects have been taken in the 
neighbourhood : — Argynnis pap/iia, A. aglaia, A. etiphrosyne, Colias editsa, Apa- 
tura iris, Satyr us sefuelc, Hesperia linea, Procris geryon, Acherontia atropa, 
Charocatnpa elpe?ior, Chelonia plantagiuis, Selenia lunaria, Euryinene dolobraria, 
Gometra papilionaria^zxiA about fifty other species of Lepidoptera. 
Coleoptera. — The Yorkshire Coleoptera Committee will be represented by 
Mr. T. Stainforth, who writes : — 
The district to be investigated is in its character a not unpromising one for 
the labours of the coleopterist. In the 157th Circular (May, 1901), the late 
C. W. Russell, of Hull, writes that he had taken in East Dale, about Little Weighton

fagi, Scolytus destructor, Myelophiius piniperda, and Hylobius abietis, both in the 
wooded part of East Dale. 
On the excursion in the Brough district, for which the Circular (157) was issued, 
were taken, among other species, Bevibidium fninimnm., 3. (eneutn, Laccobitis 
sinuaius, Melaiiophthabna gibhosa, Sinodendron cylitidriciun, Melanotus rufipes, 
and Hedobia imperialis. In the 1 1 ith Circular (Aug., 1894), are mentioned : —
