the moths I did not keep account of, but they were very numerous.

NEW FOREST JOTTINGS—ABSTRACT. 
(Read March 5th, 1901, by FRANK BOUSKELL, F.E.S., F.R.H.S.) 
The Author in his paper gave an account of several years’ collecting 
in various parts of the Forest at different times of the year, illustrating 
the varied scenery by about 100 slides from photos taken by himself. 
In the neighbourhood of Queen’s Bower he described the coleoptera 
he had taken, including Donacia thalassina from the margins of the 
winding stream. Anapludera se.ryuttata by sweeping the rides in the wood, 
where it was local compared to the other Longicornes, and its life-history 
still remained to be worked out. From a fallen oak, under the bark, one 
specimen of Colydium elonyatulum was taken out of the borings of 
Bryocetes rillosus. Out in the open, by beating thorn blossom, 
all four species of Grammoptera were found in numbers, the rarest, G. 
praeusta, being quite abundant, almost as numerous as the small 
Polyopsia praeusta. Pnyonocherus hispid us (1) and /'. dent atm (2) also 
occurred. 
He alluded to an excellent collecting-ground, the expanse of bush- 
studded moorland surrounded by well-wooded enclosures, from Queen’s 
Bower to Rhinefields, mentioning many good things which he had 
secured. On this ground, by following the brook, most of his specimens 
of Ischnomera sanguinicollis had been beaten from the guelder-rose 
blossom, generally from the tallest bushes and high up. 
Around a clump of blackthorn, well covered with lichen, a number 
of Gnophria rubricollis were noticed, flying in the midday sun, with 
them a curious black fly was several times taken by mistake for 
rubricollis, the colour and flight being very similar. Although he had 
been acquainted with G. rubricollis for years, he had never noticed the 
flight before or seen it recorded. 
On a patch of golden-green Sphagnum a fine Carabus nitens would 
have escaped notice but for its moving.
