I may add that the same locality produced many Coleoptera of tolerable rari 
amongst which Eomalota longtda, Heer (=tMnohioides, Kraatz), was perhaps t 
most important. We likewise took spai-ingly Scopmus Erichsoni (= Icevigatus, W 
Cat.), Apion confluens, Kirby, and Amalits scortillum; as also, more plentiful 
Lionychus quadrillum and Dermestes undulatus. — T. V. Wollaston, Teignmoui

Notes on Coleoptera, at Folkestone. — Having spent the greater part of last Ji 
at Folkestone, a place so productive of good species to the Lepidopterist am 
Hymenopterist, I come to the conclusion, in spite of cold, windy, and rain! 
weather prevailing during the greater part of my stay, that it, and the distric 
round it, is equally good for the Coleopterist. Had it not been for the bad weathe 
I expect that many species then only occurring to me by single examples woul 
have been more plentiful. Never having been to Folkestone before, and having n 
one to guide me, I unfortunately did not investigate the best part of the far-famei 
*' Warren ; " upon which (under stones) I could find nothing better than PUnthus 
which was anything but plentiful, and very often broken. With it were Myrme 
donia limbata, Pterostichus ruficolUs, Lebia chlorocephala, Xantliolinus tricolor 
and such moderate things. The only other beetle worth naming was Phytonomu 
trilineatus, common on Lotus. Thanks to the kindness of the Eev. Mr. Tyldeu 
I was enabled to find, near Westenhanger, Bemiidium Sturmii, Anchomenus livens 
and Poophagus nasturtii, three species not falling to the lot of every one. Ceuthor 
hynchus tarsalis appeared to be as hard to get as ever. Walking many miles t^ 
find its favourite Sisymbrium (on which the to me hitherto rare var. dispar o 
Telephorus lividus was very abundant), and beating many pecks of that ungainl; 
plant, I managed to secure a short row of the beetle for my cabinet, though it tool 
eleven days hard work before I got the first specimen. It occurs in the immediat 
neighbourhood of Folkestone, and at Hythe, and I found one specimen at Saltwoo( 
Castle, on Alliaria, in company with alliaricB, Bris. (inornatus, Wat.). On thi 
Sisymbrium, C. cyanipennis was very plentiful, C. constrictus very rare, and C 
sulcicollis and quadridens abundant. Of many other species of the genus, chrysan 
themi, mela7iostictus, and cochlearice only are noteworthy. Of the allied Ceuthor 
hynchideus, melanarius (common on Nasturtium) , terminatus and frontalis occurred 
and I would here note my conviction that Chevrolatii — in vain sought by me 
though I obtained troglodytes in every possible size, variety, and splendid condition 
— is a good species. Remembering a former capture of Ceuth. marginatus witl 
six-jointed funiculus, I took a large number of that somewhat abundant species 
and had the satisfaction of finding four similar examples. There seemed to be ni 
punctiger among them. I look upon these as monstrosities only, among which clasi 
must certainly be placed a Rhynchites germanicus which I took here, with eacl 
antenna bi-clavate. 
In a pond at Hythe, I was fortunate enough to obtain a small row of Telmd 
tophilus sparganii, certainly one of our rarest beetles ; it was accompanied bj 
caricis and typhai, and by two specimens of brevicollis, Aube, a species new to me 
and most distinct. A similar pond, near " Caesar's Camp," at the base of the hills, 
covered with flags, reeds, water lilies, and other flowering aquatic plants, mud
