Orsodacna cerasi, in blossoms. Oonioctena pallida t I fonnd a fow froehly disclosed 
specimens of this insect on hazel (!) very early in the mouth of June, accompanied 
by many green larvte, feeding npon the leaves, and which I have littlo doubt 
belonged to the same insect. Pteryx sxduralis. 
Alcochara rufi'Cornis and Thymalus Umlatus have been found here this year by 
Earl do Grey and Ripon. 
The following species were taken at Nocton, in Lincolnshire : — 
Pterostichus ohlongo-punctatus, Falagria sulcatula, Leptusa, ruficollis, Encephalus 
compUcans, Phloeocharis subtilissima, Colenis dcntipes, Liodes orhicidaris, AnvphicylUs 
glohus and Agathidium atrum (of each of which two last mentioned species I met 
with thenniformly red-brown variety only), Epurcea melanocephala, Pocadius ferrU' 
gineuS) Malthodes atomus, Byturus fumatus, Hedohia, imperialis, Cis aVni, 
Scaphidema metalUea (from dead sticks), MordelUstena abdominalis, Brachytarsus 
scabrosus and B, varius, Rhynchites ceneo-virens (common), Tropiphorus mercurialis, 
Rliytidosomus globulus, Amalus scortillum, Orohitis cyaneus, and Hylesinus oleiperda. —

Note on the occurrence of Coccinella labilis near Canterbury. — I took throe 
specimens of this rare beetle by sweeping heath, &c., on the 19th April last, in the 
woods between Whitstable and Canterbury. I also took two in the same locality 
last year. At first I fancied they were mere large spotted varieties of the common 
C. 1 -punctata, and did not know until lately that they were referable to the scarcer 
C. labilis.— G. C. Champion, 274, Walworth Road, S., 21st November, 1867. 
[It will be remembered that Dr. Sharp has recorded the capture of C. labilis 
at Heme Bay.— E.C.R.] 
Note on the capture of a species of Tomicus new to ov/r list. — In February, 1866, 
I found several specimens of a small wood-boring beetle, which at the time I fancied 
might be Dryoccetes (Tomicus) villosus, under the bark of a decayed branch of a 
beech-tree lying on the ground in one of the woods near Prestwich, a small village 
in the environs of Manchester. These specimens were nearly all destroyed, when 
my cabinet was completely submerged during the serious inundations caused by 
the overflowing of the Irwell ; but I captured a few more of the insect during the 
present year, at the same time and place, under the bark of recently felled beech- 
trees. Some of these I sent up to Mr. Rye, for his opinion as to their specific 
identity ; and he informs me that he thinks it pi-obable they are the insect intended 
to be signified by the Tomicus (Ips) fuscus of our countryman, Marsham ; an 
insect which since the time of that author appears to have escaped observation 
in this country.— Thos. Morley, 29, John Street, Pendleton, Manchester, Qth 
December, 1867. 
Note on Tomicus (Ips) fuscus, Marsham. — I think it not impossible that Mr. 
Morley's insect above recorded may be the true Ips fuscus of Marsham. GyUenhal, 
after giving the beech as the habitat of his fuscus, states that he had the insect 
also from England, sent to him by Kirby, as the Marshamian species of that name. 
Now Gyllenhal's insect, according to De Marseul, is identical with the bicolor of
