MISCELLANEOUS NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 
Ill 
the river and canal, and probably the bird passed along the Norfolk 
coast. Its occurrence in the midst of the present abnormal visita- 
tions of Little Auks seems noteworthy, and it would not surprise 
mo to hear of others being met with anywhere on the East 
Coast between the Tees and the Orwell, so I have put one friend 
at Aldoburgh and another at Hunstanton on the look out. 
The accompanying illustration is from a drawing by the late 
Mr. Gatcombo, of a specimen of Briinnich’s Guillemot brought 
back by the Franklin Search expedition. — Julian G. Tuck. 
List op Coleoptera in West Supfolk. — In my held work 
during 1894, in West Suffolk, 1 again met with some good 
Coleoptera. The most interesting capture of the year, however, 
was made by my neighbour, Mr. F. Fox, who secured a large series 
of Sci/mnus pulchellus on Fir. This species was supposed to be 
extinct, and was only admitted to the British list by specimens 
found in the Kirby collection many years ago. It has now 
appeared close to the spot where lie took it. In the early summer, 
Mr. Frank Norgate sent me a fine specimen of the rare Ocypus 
cyaneus, which was crawling up a bank near the town of Bury 
St. Edmunds, and which is new to Suffolk. 
The following are worthy of record : — Carabus arvensis, 
Staphylinus stercorarius, Ocypus similis, O. compressus, Prognatha 
quadricornis, Saprinus rugifrons, Necrophorus vespillo, N. vestigator, 
N. ruspator, Silpha lcevigata, Soronia punctatissima, Limonius 
cylindricus, Corymbites tessalatus, Anthocomus fasciatus, Blaps 
similis, Pogonocherus dentatus, Saperda carcharias. 
The high gales in October blew down many Fungi growing on 
the Beech and Birch, from which I discharged a good series of 
Dacne humeralis, D. rugifrons, D. bipustulatus, Mycetophagus 
4-pustulatus, M. multipunctatus, Cis bidentatus, and Tetramora 
fungorum. 
From the fens on the Cambridge side came Carabus granulatus, 
Silpha atrata ear. brunnea, Anthocomus rufus, Chrysomela polita, 
C. didymata, Phratora vulgatissima, and Prasocuris junci, all beaten 
from Eupatormm rannabinmn. 
With regard to the Inquilines, my most interesting capture was 
a line lot of twenty-four Metoeeus paradoxus (the Wasp Beetle) 
in a nest of Vespa vuhjans on August 18th, and I took a single
