490 MR. C. MORLEY S ENTOMOLOGICAL VISIT TO HUNSTANTON. 
pleasure of taking a nice seines each, though perhaps a little 
early, since some of the beetles were hardly mature ( cf . my 
notes, Entom. Monthly Mag., 1906, p. 229). It was best 
found by lying flat on the damp mud and searching at the 
roots of the plants, and with it we noticed many Dyschirius 
salinus, Bembidium normanum, Homalota fungi, a couple of 
Scymnus, Corticaria lardarius, Thyamis lurida, Apion pisi and, 
far below high water mark, Cassida vittata, Vill. Anisotoma 
dubia was swept from marram grass ; and we also noticed 
Hydrcecia nictitans, Cryptus viduatorius, Bassus Icctatorius, 
Lissonota parallela and L. bellator, Chelonus oculator, Perisemus 
triareolatus, Lasius niger var. alienus and Colletes succinctus, 
of which half a dozen males were clinging together to a stem 
of the marram grass. Many nice Hemiptera were about, 
such as Cliorosoma schillingi, Piesma capitata, Saida pilosa, 
Liburnia aubei, Dor atm a stylata, Acocephalus albifrons , and 
Cicadula fasciifrons. The handsome Asilus crabroniformis 
was swept from rushes, Philonicus albiceps flying on the 
sandhills with Nemotelus uliginosus, Sphcerophoria flavicauda, 
Balioptera tripunctata and Meromyza pratorum at the roots 
of grass. 
The next day we visited Heacham in a gale of wind and 
met with Atractodes vestalis and a Callimone in the celebrated 
chalk-pit, together with Ophion obscurus, Sphecodes afjinis, 
Athysanus communis and Cicadida sexnotata. Whitethorn 
produced Monanthia dumetorum and the salt marshes, where 
was plenty of Lavender though none of its Apion, were 
reluctant to yield the marsh variety of Acocephalus albifrons , 
Nemotelus uliginosus, Tephritis plantaginis, a Scymnus, and 
a couple of Stenobothrus bicolor. In the chalk-pit, referred to, 
were S. elegans, Thyamis jacobeae, the scarce Meligethes 
fulvipes, and a single Oncomyia atra. 
The Ringstead Downs, which are the two sides of a steep 
chalk gorge, were alive with insects on 21st. I took Pimpla 
brevicornis, Chelonus oculator, M acrocentrus marginator, 
Syrphus balteatus, Calliphora azurea, Olivieria lateralis, 
M eromyza pratorum, with other Diptera ; both sexes of 
Lyccena corydon were common as also were Stenobothrus
