Bark and Wood- boring Beetles . — During 
the present season, commencing from 
April last, I have investigated any old 
trees, rotten wood, &c., which I met with, 
and from the success that has attended 
my operations, I earnestly recommend 
others to do the same. The following 
are a few of the insects I have taken in 
this way : — In April, from recently felled 
timber, Tomicus lands? crawling over 
the newly-barked oak trunks, and Uy- 
lesinus furcutus running out from and 
flying in swarms around its holes in the 
same trees. In Tilgate Poorest, under the 
bark of an old oak-stump, I found several 
liue specimens of Rhagium inquisitor ; 
and from buleti, growing on au old beech, 
specimens of Bitoma crenula. In May, 
from rotten wood, specimens of Melanotus 
fulvipes ; and from hurdles Latridius 
lardarius, transversus, porcalus, &c., Cor - 
licuria gibbusu and fuscula; several 
Cryplophagi, Throscus dermestoides, <kc. 
In June, from rotten fir-wood, several 
species of Brachelylra, amongst which I 
recognised the pretty Baptolinus allernans. 
On the 1st of this month I was at Mickle- 
liam, and failed not to visit the old 
palings opposite the “ Running Horse,” 
where I found P Linus licheneum out and 
waiting for me: it seems a most sluggish 
insect, as 1 did not see any further than 
a few inches from their holes, sitting still 
as the wood itself. Anobium striatum was 
also there in plenty, and a specimen of 
Salpingus planirostris represented the 
Heteroinera: this latter species seems 
fond of hurdles, as I have swept it from 
them very often. My method of sweeping 
hurdles is with a hand-broom into an in- 
verted umbrella, and I have found it 
very successful. Last year I took in this 
way several specimens of Abdera 4- 
fasciata, Salpingus planirostris, Sphce- 
riestes i-pustul.atus, tkc. Although a 
broom would not improve the personal 
appearance of an entomologist, it would, 
I doubt nol, improve his collection, and
