33. DAYDON JACKSON - —ADDRESS. 
And now, ladies and gentlemen, my task is ended; my term of 
office having expired, my tenure of this Chair will soon he of the 
past. I shall not forget the honour you have done me by calling 
me to the chief office of this Society during the last two years, and 
it will always he a source of high gratification for future remem¬ 
brance. That the Hertfordshire Natural History Society and Field 
Club may continue to flourish, and may ever grow in reputation 
and usefulness, is my farewell desire this evening.

COLEOPTERA NEW TO THE HERTFORDSHIRE FAUNA. 
By A. E. Gibbs, F.L.S., E.R.H.S. 
Read at Watford , 19 th April, 1904. 
In the first volume of the ‘Victoria History of Hertfordshire,’ 
Mr. E. George Elliman, of The Broadway, Chesham, formerly of 
Tring, has published a most valuable list of Coleoptera observed in 
Hertfordshire. No less than 1,542 species are recorded as having 
been taken in the county, mostly by Mr. Elliman himself, and he 
expresses the belief that these figures represent very inadequately 
the total number likely to he found, he having observed nearly 
a hundred additional species in Buckinghamshire, within three or 
four miles of the Hertfordshire boundary. Mr. Elliman now adds 
thirteen beetles to the list, thus bringing up the number known to 
inhabit Hertfordshire to the respectable total of 1,555, or about 
half the British species. The thirteen new records are:— 
Pterostichus anthracinus, Ill.—Near Chorley Wood. 
Homalota vilis , Er.—Little Tring, in dead rushes. 
Oligota flavicornis, Lac.—Little Tring. 
Aphodius porcus , E.—Tring. 
Podagrica fuscipes, L.—Broxbourne, taken by Mr. E. B. Jennings. 
Apion annulipes , Wenck.—One female taken at Aldbury Owers. 
A very rare insect in this country, especially the male. 
A. filirostre, Kirby.—Near Elaunden. 
A. rufirostre, E.—Broxbourne. 
Tanymecus palliatus, E.—Cheshunt. 
Hypera pollux, E., var. alternatus , 
Steph.—Cheshunt. 
Magdalis barbicornis, Latr.—Cheshunt. 
Hylesinus vittatus, F.—Little Tring, by sweeping under elm-trees.
