117 
Black Park, about a fortnight ago. — 
H. Tompkins, 44, Guildford Street , 
Russell Square, London; July 3. 
Chrosis Audouinana. — On the same 
day l beat out of an oak at Black Park 
a beautiful example of this insect. — 
Ibid. 
Captures at Lyndhurst. — As we have 
now been here some time, and as it is 
probable that some other entomologists 
may pay a visit to this locality, we have 
thought it worth our while to send you a 
list of our captures : — June 26. Went to 
a heath on the south side of the road 
between Lyndhurst and the railway 
station, where we took Aporia Cratcegi , 
Argynnis Paphia, A. Adippe and P. Syl- 
vanus in abundance, and a few S, Panis- 
cus. June 27. Went again to the same 
place, where we caught A. Cratcegi , 
though not quite so plentifully as on the 
preceding day; also A. Paphia, Adippe 
and Selene abundantly, and one solitary 
Arge Galathea. July 1. No more Cra- 
lagi to be seen ; but, on crossing to a 
wood on the north side of the road, we 
took about twenty specimens of Limenitis 
Sibilla, which was literally swarming, 
and about a dozen Hipparchia Hyper- 
anlhus, together with more Paphia, 
Adippe, Selene, and an innumerable 
quantity of Skippers. — Robert and 
Alexander S. Harvey, 4, Sussex Place, 
Southampton ; July 4. 
Steropes Paniscus. — I have great plea- 
sure in announcing that this year I have 
taken this rare insect at Netley Abbey, 
in this neighbourhood, where I have also 
taken one A. Cratcegi and (last year) 
Thecla Betulce . — Robert Harvey, 4, 
Sussex Place, Southampton ; July 4. 
Erehia Cassiope. — I have lately taken 
a considerable number of Erehia Cas- 
siope, upon Green Cragg, in Borrowdale, 
— William Greenip, Keswick ; July 4. 
Spilocles Palealis. — l have taken a very 
line specimen of this insect on the coast 
near here. — E dwaro Smith, Sidmouth, 
South Devon ; July 4. 
Limacocles Testudo. — On Monday last 
I revisited “ the metropolis” of Athalia 
in this neighbourhood, and while there 
was fortunate enough to beat from an 
oak a fine specimen of Limacodes Tes- 
tudo. It fell to the earth like a stone, 
just outside my net* and, deceived by the 
quiet way in which it lay, I unhappily 
pill-boxed it. Though soon made aware 
of my mistake by its uneasy flutlerings, 
it was not pinned before it had received 
considerable damage. — Rev. Hugh A. 
Stowell, Faversham ; July 3. 
Hymenoptera. 
Hymenoplera near Cambridge.— W ithin 
the last two or three days I have taken 
Panurgus Banksiana and Cilissa leporina 
in this neighbourhood. It seems to be a 
rather remarkable instance of the early 
appearance of species that a specimen of 
Nomada Jacobccce and some males of 
Halictus fulvicornis turned up on the 3rd 
inst. Gan the hot weather we have had 
lately have hastened the coming out of 
these by about a month? — C. F. Allen, 
Christ’s College, Cambridge ; July 4. 
COLEOPTEEA. 
In our last notice we attempted to 
shadow forth the fact, that, whilst the 
central districts of England are de- 
cidedly (as a whole) unproductive for 
the Coleopterist, there are regions be- 
yond them which may be almost com- 
pared, as regards their Fauna, with the 
favoured East. We say “almost,” be- 
cause there can be no doubt, in a general 
sense, that the further we journey towards 
the west, in the British Isles, the more 
do we leave organic life behind us. To 
convince themselves of this, naturalists 
need only compare the statistics of the 
east with those of the west, and of these 
latter again with those of Ireland ; and 
they will at once perceive how greatly
