Among other new British Insects which my son found in 
South Wales is this little Scarabaeus from the sandhills, or 
burrows, called Skitty burrows, near Swansea. It is not re- 
markable for its beauty ; but any subject in Natural History 
may be so for its locality, and in such case may be found 
useful, not merely as regarding itself, but the nature of the 
climate, soil, and other circumstances. We do not know 
of any place besides in Great Britain where it has been 
found, except at Christchurch, by the Rev. W, Bingley.
