COLEOPTERA. 
My first Beetle hunt for this Season . — 
I will just give you the result of my first 
day with the Coleoptera this spring: the 
locality I marked out for my exploits 
was Stoke Wood and the meadows ad- 
joining the river Exe. I started oft' 
alone about 10 a.m., and got back again 
to business about 5 p.m., having made a 
circuit of about ten miles. The result of 
my captures was the following list of 
species ; though not rare it will just con- 
vey an idea of what is to be done in a 
short time by diligent working. I am 
sorry I have not a companion in this de- 
partment of Entomology in this neigh- 
bourhood. A great number of species I 
did not want, which I determined in the 
field, I have not enumerated in the fol- 
lowing list, and many of those in the list 
I had before, only I wanted better speci-
