Captures at Darenlh. — While sweeping 
for Coleoptera at Darenth I have recently 
found the following species: — 
Coreus marginatus, 
Phlaea prasina (very full flavoured), 
Pentatoma baccarum, 
„ juniperiua, 
„ melanocephala, 
„ perlata, 
ASlia acuminata, 
Cyduus marginatus, 
„ bipunctatus, • 
„ hi col or, 
Lygaeus capitatus, 
„ nugax, 
„ Rolandri (with Calathus fus- 
cus), 
also Centrotus genislce and Cercopis vul- 
nerata ( Sanguinolenta olim ), which two 
species I have in duplicate. Later in the 
season Issus eoleoptralus and Ledra aurita 
have both fallen to my net, the former 
not uncommonly. I should be glad to 
hear of any other entomologist beginning 
to work these interesting insects (barring 
C. lectularius ), and beg to state, for the 
comfort of collectors, that although there 
is a decidedly nasty “cimicine” odour 
about many, yet some species are equally 
conspicuous for smelling pleasantly. —

OBSERVATIONS. 
Flights of Insects. — The coast is a 
strange place for flights of various spe- 
cies ; I have never seen the same kind 
two years in succession: one time it was 
large flights of Coccinellae, at another the 
“ large white ” ( Fieris Brassicce) ; another 
year the air is filled with winged ants ; 
last year with a species of Diptera ; this 
year with Athalia Centifolia. On the 
I6th of June, the day hot and still, wind 
south-west, as is the case when these 
flights take place (1 observed the species 
on every kind of plant some days before), 
at about 10 a. M.,the flight began, passing 
along in a cloud over the herbage skirting 
the sea ; at about one they came thicker 
and faster ; at half-past one they had all 
passed. I have not seen twenty since. 
Where have they gone to? [Woe to the 
turnip-fields where they have alighted !]
