Captures in winter. As a proof 
that very many of the Coleoptera may 
be captured in winter I subjoin the 
following list of what I have met 
with since the end of October last. It 
should however, be remembered that 
the weather has been remarkably mild, 
and that, probably, in an ordinary 
year, less would have been taken 
The days have been very few when 
collecting has been impracticable, and 
so I have been enabled to give a con- 
siderable amount of time to the pur- 
suit.

Geldart at Southport commonly.
