PREFACE. THE present catalogue was originally contemplateci early in 1896 for the somewhat egotistical purpose of assisting my personal researches into the Entomology of Suffolk, and the majority of the remaining Orders have been similarly, though less fully, treated. Thanks, however, to the great assistance rendered by friends and correspondents, not only resident in the county, but also by those who have occasionally collected here, or received insects henee, the list of Coleรณptera has augmented so rapidly, that it is now of sufficient extent to form a fair basis upon which to locally study these interesting insects. No one, nevertheless, can be more fully aware of its incompleteness than myself ; there are a great many species not yet enrolled, which are very nearly certain, from their geographical distribution and known attachment to our geological formations, to occur with us. With this consciousness heavy upon me, I have taken the opportunity of pointing out a few of those kinds which may, with more or less confidence, be expected to be found in Suffolk if looked for at the proper season and in their peculiar habitats. If proof of the, I might almost say, embryonic state of the list were desired, it might be found in the fact that, during the present month, in a bag of bracken refuse from the Bentley Woods, which, with Holbrook Park and Dodnash Woods, once covered an extensive tract of country to the south-west of Ipswich, I discovered Oxypoda pallidula, Habrocerus capillaricornis, Neuraphes Sparshalli, Lathridius e/ongatus and Acalles ptinoides, which had not previously been noticed in Suffolk.

It is obviously difficult to say that a catalogue of this nature is ever perfect, and I trust that the present list will be looked upon as little more than the precursor and facilitator of a fuller and more complete one of some future date ; or, at least, that we may periodically augment it in supplementary form.

Appendsd is a list of tha principal works and notices consulted in

reference to the Coleoptera of Suffolk, but the majority of the authors of the later articles there cited have been so good as to further furnish me with many important MS. notes and lists. I am much indebted to Miss R. A. Edmonds, Miss A. M. Allen, and to the following gentlemen, who have very greatly helped to swell the number of species included :—Canon Crutwell, Rev. A. Foster-Melliar, Messrs. E. A. Butler, B.A., B. sc., F.E.S., E. G. Elliman, W. Harwood, Albert Piffard» Edward Ransom, H. J. Thouless, G. H . Verrall, F.E.S., E. A. W a t e r house, etc., etc.

Many interesting records were obtained from Mr. William H . Baker's collection, which was formed principally by his father during the first half of the present century in the neighbourhood of Battisford, one of the most ancient-timbered districts in the county. It contains many of the scarcer wood feeders, which appear fast becoming extinct with us. This collection was often visited by Kirby and Henslow, and many of its specimens were brought into requisition by the late Rev. H. H . Crewe and Mr. C. R. Bree in their incomplete list of the Lepidoptera of Suffolk in The Naturalist for the years 1857-59. I am indebted to my good friend, Rev. E. N. Bloomfield, M.A., F.E.S., for his wide knowledge and care in referring me to periodicals containing Suffolk notes, and for, in many cases, sending me whole passages from unlooked-for sources.

Mr. E. C. Bedwell is to be congratulated upon his zeal as a collector, and the extreme rarity of many of the species met with by him in the Lowestoft District during the last two years. T o Mrs. Garneys (née Miss C. Freeman) my best thanks are tendered for her courtesy in permitting me to take notes from the very fine collection of the late Mr. W. Garneys, who for many years resided at Bungay, and Mrs. Garneys herself sent several parcels of Coleoptera to Mr. Rye and other leading entomologists from Suffolk, " which seems especially to abound in Halticidte," as the former very truly says after examining one of her boxes. 1 T h e especial district of Bury St. Edmunds, set forth by Mr. W. H. Tuck, M.A., in the Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists Society's " Transactions," 2 has now been very thoroughly worked, and he occasionally makes excursions further afield. In this way his records may often be said to embrace Mid-West Suffolk, but those of all kinds of unlikely species from the nests of wasps and bees are what will primarily catch the eye of the coleopterist, for I am not aware that so full a list has ever before been published of the habitués of this particular and, I think, novel pabulum. i V.

COLEOPTERISTS.

T h e Coleopterists of Suffolk are now-a-days almost a vanishing quantity.

To-day I can name but three others within its borders, Mr. Tuck of Bury, Mr. Ransom of Sudbury, and Mr. Bedwell of Lowestoft. Scarcely, however, could our quartet be more happily located, representing, as they may be considered to do, the midland, southern and north-eastern portions, while I have done what I have been enabled in the south-eastern and other parts of the county. This was not so, however, in the earlier days of the science of Entomology, or rather that division of it which deals with the beetles ; for there is no earlier work exclusively devoted to the subject in Britain than Marsham's, which appeared in 1802, and it is in this very first attempt at a classification of our indigenous species that we find many Suffolk records. In fact it would, 1 think, be correct to say that the present list is a summary of the work of just one hundred years, since the first record in Suffolk (I had almost said in Britain) is that of Scarabœus vernalis at Woodbridge, in 1795. It was probably, though we do not find it so stated, one of Kirby's captures. Certain it is that he was collecting Coleoptera at that time. There is scarcely a writer upon Entomology during the first half of this century but quotes him as the highest authority upon his subject in Britain, and in those days we had little correspondence with the continent : P'abricius, Germar, Major Gyllenhal and Professor Afzelius being the only foreign friends of whom I find Kirby makes mention. It is to Kirby also that we owe nearly all the extremely numerous Suffolk records in Stephens' works, and it is much to be regretted that he did not, as it appears probable he had intended, publish a " Monograph of the British Staphylinidse," which, based as it was upon Gravenhorst's " Insecta Microptera Brunsvicensia," at that time the most complete work upon the Brachelytra, would probably have taken monumental position side by side with his " Monographia Apum Angliae." In conjunction with Mr. Spence he also contemplated a " British Entomology," of which their " Introduction " was but the forerunner. As he himself states, however, he was " fitted by nature for a contemplative rather than an active life," with the result that the world lost as fine a work, probably, upon general Entomology as has ever seen the light. Kirby's residence, " parva sed apta " as he describes it, is now demolished and his fine garden located simply by an

old Cedar of Lebanon standing in a meadow. Eighty years ago, however, it appears to have been perpetually open to naturalists, and we find Stephens, Curtis, Denny, Hooker, Spence, and many more availing themselves of his hospitality to collect in Suffolk, when very few of the English counties had been worked at all, and the remainder of Britain practically untouched. T h e author of the learned Bridgewater Treatise 1 was born at Witnesham, in Suffolk, on 19th September, 1759; he took his B.A. degree in 1774, was ordained in June, 1782, and was immediately appointed to the curacy of Barham, three miles from his father's house, where he resided till the time of his death, a period of sixty-eight years, being presented with the living upon the death of his rector in 1796. In 1784 he married Sarah Ripper, at Debenham, in Suffolk, and subsequently, in 1816, Charlotte Rodwell, of Hull, through whose family he first gained an acquaintance with Spence. Kirby, who was already a great botanist, 2 commenced Entomology, through the instrumentality of Coccinella 22-punctata, about 1785, and found a congenial friend in Nicholas Gwyn, M.D., who died at Ipswich in 1798. T h e latter was himself well versed in insects, and would appear to have first exhibited their marvellous economy to Kirby, who, later, dedicated to him a bee in his " Monographia," which still bears his name. 3 T h e Rev. Revett Sheppard, when holding the curacy of Nacton (1804-7), w a s a pupil of Kirby, and a diligent collector, as may be surmised by the number of species he added to the British list.

Another good coleopterist of the old school was the Rev. Peter Lathbury, I.L.B., F.L.S., Rector of Livermere, with whom Kirby went to stay about the middle of June, 181 o.

H e was a good all-round naturalist, and spent much time in the field ; very little of his work, however, has come down to our knowledge. H e died in August, 1820, in his sixtieth year. 4 The venerable VV. Kirby died in 1850, in his ninetieth year, and lies buried in the chancel of Barham Church, in which Lady Middleton shortly afterwards dedicated a window to his memory.

It is very pleasant to collect and ponder where these fathers of the science in Britain took their types of species, and I have often felt, with Fred.

Smith, " that the very ground I was hunting over had been previously visited by Kirby, and this conviction, I need scarcely add, not only rendered the spot doubly interesting, but imparted an additional pleasure to my successful investigations." 5 But Mr. Smith is speaking of Lowestoft, where I am not aware that Kirby collected more than once, whereas I am constantly treading ground trodden by the great master, and, perhaps, beating the same trees and sweeping the same ditches from which he took his treasures just a hundred years ago.

Since 1850 the county has been as entirely neglected as any in England. Mr. Garneys collected in the neighbourhood of Bungay, Beddingfield, Debenham and Aldeburgh, and published an incomplete 1 " On the Power, Wisdom and Goodness of God as manifested in the Creation of Animals and in their History. Habits, and Instincts." 2 vols. London. 1835.

4 T h e Rev. H. James, M.A., the present incumbent, informs me that the parish possesses no particular features, excepting the Mere, which is the largest sheet of water in Western Suffolk, covering about seventy-five acres ; the soil is sandy, underlaid by gravel and chalk.

list of his better captures in 1858, though he continued to work, but not in Suffolk, until the time of his death in 1881. Mr. Richard Tyrer came to reside at Eye, in April, 1859, and recorded a great number of species from that locality during the two following years. Professor Henslow held the living of Hitcham for a goodly number of years, but, though he was a great naturalist and a first-rate botanist, I am not aware he paid much attention to Entomology, except in isolated instances, such as the Wheat Midge, the Locust, Wasps and Goat Moths, and his papers, for the most part printed in The Zoologist, run from 1841 to 1857. T h e Rev. A. H . Wratislaw was, for a long time, head of Bury School, and collected spasmodically in that neighbourhood about 1860-75, but a t death, his second wife, I believe, disposed of his collections. With the exception of those mentioned, and an occasional visitor at one or other of the summer resorts, no attention whatever has been paid to our beetles, which is the more curious, since, in the Entomologist's Annual List of Students of Insects, no less than nineteen names were included from Suffolk as long ago as 1860.

SKETCH OF T H E

COUNTY.

GEOLOGY. T h e earliest superficial formation found in Suffolk is the Cretaceous.

T h e upper and lower portions of the later chalk beds are to be seen in a number of localities, and may be noticed without a break from Bury St. Edmunds to Ipswich, extending both north and south. At least part, if not the whole, of the bed of the Orwell is composed of chalk, overlaid by much more recent post-glacial deposits; but I have found no "cretacophilous " insects hereabouts. Towards the south, however, it is more often hidden by the overlying Eocene strata, which find here their most northern range. T h e chalk is in many places directly overlaid by the Tertiary, Woolwich and Reading beds, which sometimes show through the London Clay. This latter has a wide distribution in Suffolk, especially in the southern parts, where it extends from Sudbury to Ipswich, and it is also said to constitute the substratum of the mouths of the Aide, Deben, Orwell and Stour, with the result that its impermeable nature obstructs the moisture, and so gives rise to much of the, often brackish, marsh lands, dear to the heart alike of naturalist and sportsman —would that I could include them under one head ! It is this formation, in its lower beds, that is so extensively worked for brick-making, and many a good thing is to be found in these ancient clay and sand-pits.

At the junction of the London Clay with the Crag Beds, notably at the base of the Felixstowe Cliffs, and in the neighbourhood of the Bixley Decoy, springs and streams are very generally to be met with, on account of the impervious composition of the former, and it is in such situations, beneath the attendant plants, Rumkes, etc., that many beetles have occurred not noticed elsewhere. T h e only rocks along our coast line are scarcely worthy of the name, being nothing but masses of London Clay lying invariably far below high-water mark, and consequently of not the least use as a shelter to the juxta-marine species.

T h e Coralline, Red and Norwich Crags, the latter of little importance; since it occurs in but two spots, may be grouped together for our convenience, and viewed as composing an extremely light formation, consisting entirely of comminuted fragments of marine shells, sometimes, as in the neighbourhood of Foxhall and Tattingstone, of considerable extent, and exercising a noticeable effect upon the supersoil, which, in every case, more resembles that of coast dunes than inland pastures, owing to the free percolation of moisture through this organic deposit. T h e crag pits, excavated in many places, more particularly between the Deben and the Orwell, for the working of the phosphatic nodules popularly known as '"coprolites," are good collecting grounds, and, even where no working has taken place, this peculiar formation often so closely approaches the surface as to render the ground too light and sandy to be of any value for agricultural purposes, and conversely prolific in thoïse Coleoptera, and their name is legion, which love loose lands. It was here that I was so fortunate as to discover a species new to Britain last year. 1 T h e Glacial period, which followed the Crag formation, affects the Entomology of Suffolk only in so far that, during it, many of the deposits were disturbed, and brought to the surface, thus somewhat modifying its general outline, since the foreign matter imported from the northern counties in the glaciers and moraines has no bearing upon the subject.

I am not aware that fossil insects have ever been discovered in Suffolk, though Curtis identified species of Harpalus, Copris, Elater and Donacia, found in the Boulder Clay of the Norfolk Cliffs, near Mundsley, 2 and, since Wollaston has also determined many Chrysome/idœ, Cassididœ, Tenebrionidœ and Curculionidœ, from the brick earths of the same period, 3 near Colchester, it is hardly probable that remains are not to be found in Suffolk. I do not, however, remember my friend, the late Dr. J. E. Taylor, F.G.S., who worked the Paleontology of Suffolk somewhat thoroughly, ever mentioned that he had found any. But it is the postglacial and historical beds which affect us most practically, since they form the physical features of our time, governing, to a great extent, the range of the flora, and consequently of the fauna, of any given district.

PHYSICAL

FEATURES.

The soil is of very diverse nature. T h e light lands comprise the coast and other sandy places along the eastern seaboard, together with the poor land of the north-west, which is closely underlaid by the chalk. T h e heavy lands, of which the centre consists, occupy more than half the county, and may be roughly circumscribed by a line drawn from Long Melford through Hadleigh, Needham Market, Grundisburgh and Pessenhall to Beccles ; following the Waveney and Little Ouse to Hopton, it branches off to Ixworth, Tostock and Haughly, whence a bee line to the border through Ickworth finishes its range, except where it is bounded by the adjoining counties. The light lands lie almost exclusively along the coast south of Southwold, and to the south and east of the fen lands in the extreme north-west. T h e mixed soils are to be found between the latter and the heavy lands, with large tracts to the south-east, north-east t V. E.M.M., 1898, p. 84.

and about Bury St. Edmunds. Since the soil, regulated to a great extent by the underlying strata, is so distinct—and the above lines must be considered by no means hard and fast—in different parts of the county, many plants which, like beetles, have their peculiar attachments, will be found on their favourite soils only. Our long seaboard provides localities for many kinds of maritime plants, most of which are beloved of Coleoptera, such as Cakile maritima, Sagina maritima, Atriplex portulacoid.es, Artemisia maritima, Cochlearia, etc. Part of the coast consists of clay, sand and crag cliffs ; at the base of the first Statice limonium is often to be found, but though I have searched in many places, I have nowhere been able to detect the Apion ; other parts consist of blown sand, upon which Glancium flavum, so attractive to Psilothrix nobilis, loves to bloom. " And the surges tear the pied shingle With a musical shudder and boom, By the waste where the grey sea-holly And poppy hnd a home." 1

Upon the Flora of the Breck I have touched elsewhere, but Si le ne otites, Artemisia campestris and Astragalus hypoglottis are also peculiar plants, and might be advantageously searched for peculiar insects. On the heavy lands, and especially in woods, Hypericum hirsutum, Teucrium scorodonia and Euphorbia amygdaloides are very frequent with their attendant tenants. On the chalk, Carlina vulgaris, Clematis vitalba, Echium vulgare and the iReseda are very common and prolific. T h e marshy grounds are rich in the water-lilies and reeds upon which numbers of Phytophaga may always be observed, and in the great white Umbellifera so attractive to many species in the warm hush of a summer's afternoon. Our heaths are covered with Calluna and Erica, Ulex and Spartium, and the Leguminosa, so carefully studied by Kirby in his " Genus Apion," are very fully represented on all sides. An account of the plants, to which I cannot pretend to do justice here, may with advantage be sought in Henslow and Skepper's " Flora of Suffolk," and in l)r. Hind's and other more recent works upon the subject, which is, however, I believe, by no means, at present, fully investigated.

T h e draining of the fens about Tuddenham St. Mary, Mildenhall, and to the west of Lakenheath, doubtless robbed us of many marsh Coleoptera, but those tracts have never been adequately worked, and it is thence that I am still hoping to enrich the future catalogue. These fens are now cultivated, and by dint of much claying, burning, paring and draining, have been converted into cattle pastures. T h e surface from one foot to six consists of the common peat of bogs, with a substratum of white clay or marl. They form part of the great Bedford Level, and were not satisfactorily reclaimed till about 1782. There is also much low-lying land along the south side of the Waveney for a considerable distance, producing several kinds which are not recorded from elsewhere. T h e valley of the Aide is uniformly swampy, as are also many places at the mouths and along the estuaries of our larger rivers. T h e Broads in the north-east, though not, of course, to be compared with those of Norfolk, are undoubtedly to be worked with a great degree of success. There is i V. Miss Seymour's very pretty verses upon " Southwold," in the East A ttglian Daily on 12th October, 1897.

one necromantic tract of ground in Suffolk which, I believe, has not its geological counterpart in Britain ; I refer to the Breck district about Brandon. As Kirby says : " The country here affords few or no objects to relieve the mind from the tedium which its bleakness and sterility produce in it. Il may be denominated an océan of sand, producing little besides nettles and brakes, with here and there an islet of firs."1 T h e only modifications that have taken place during the last century are the enclosing and preserving of the land for shooting purposes, and the conséquent augmenting of the pine plantations. T o ali but a naturalist the view is desolate in the extreme, but he knows that here are to be found plants, birds and insects, which occur nowhere else, at ali events inland, in Britain. Here grow Tillœa muscosa, Rumex maritimus, Carex arenaria and many more plants usually found only on the coast. Here alone the Ringed Piover (Aegalitis hiaticula) elects to breed inland, and it is usually noted about Thetford and Brandon in the early summer months, as was also the Great Bustard (Otis tarda), " once the glory of Norfolk and Suffolk," but now extinct for some fifty years past, though it found a last home among the waste lands of the Breck 2 Here also are to be met with many Lepidoptera, such as Agrophila sulphuralis, Acidalia rubricata, Lithostege griseata, Spilodes sticlicalis, Tinea imella and others which are hardly known to occur elsewhere in the kingdom. 3 This is another spot coleopterists have insufficiently worked, though those who have visited it have returned well satisfied. Mr. Walker and Mr. Norgate have found good things there, while Mr. Elliott and I have turned up species for the first time inland in Britain.'1 It is curious to note that so many coast insects, not coleopterous alone, should occur about Foxhall, and probably in other places between the Orwell and the Aide, on soil rendered suitable by pre-glacial deposits formed at a time when these parts of Suffolk constituted a sea-bottom, and also between Thetford and Lakenheath, which is post-glacial, and contemporaneous with the first traces of man, consisting as it does of chalk overlaid by many plateaux of recent valley gravels.

VVhy so much maritime flora and fauna should occur here is owing to the salinity in the sand, but whether this at one time formed the bed of a tidal river, or is derived from the soda entering into the drift-sand of the felspar, I do not know. 8 Suffolk forms part of the great Eastern Plain, possesses no mountains nor moors, and in no place exceeds 500 feet above sea level ; in fact, I should cali this an extreme limit, since I am not conscious of having collected at a greater altitude than 200 feet. Until the beginning of the present century, Suffolk was essentially a grazing county, but the war scare and conséquent high price of wheat at that time, tempted the farmers to plough their pastures, and with them went much of the timber ; for trees, useful for sheltering cattle, are but a hindrance to the plough in arable land ; nevertheless, they may sometimes be seen, notably about Long Melford, stili standing in fields adjoining parks, of which such cultivated areas obviously at one time formed part. In this way trees are fast 1 V. F r e e m a n ' s " Life," p. 107.

disappearing, and nearly ali those generally met with arfe of comparaticela m o d e m growth.

There are, however, stili some old woods about Needham, and patches of ancient forest at Fakenham and Staverton, but they are few and far between, which will, of course, account for the paucity in the catalogue of such xylophagous series as the Elateridœ, Longicornia, etc. T h e present work embraces those vice-county divisions of the British Isles numbered 25 and 26 in Mr. Somerville's recent Biological Section Sheet, belonging to the Ouse province. T h e two divisions of East and West Suffolk are separated by the Meridian of i° east longitude, which is very nearly the same as the Parliamentary Divisions. T h e total area of the county is 56 miles east to west, 32 north to south, and comprises 944,000 acres, of which 780,000 are under cultivation.

INTRODUCTION. • M A N Y of the older records of Homalottz in the following list must be accepted cum grano sa/is, since Dr. Sharp in his monograph on the genus (Trans. Ent. Soc., 1869) omitted to consult Kirby's MSS. and collection for corroboration of that author's species, misinterpreted by Stephens, and at this date it is useless to do so. Consequently much of his most careful and laborious work must be committed to that limbo of forgetfulness Stephens is so good at creating. I have expended much time in synonymizing the latter's records, not alone in this genus, and am, I think, sure of the remainder quoted, but many have been omitted, since there was little or no evidence to identify his names with those now in general use; or, again, some of his species have been sub-divided into two or three, upon overlooked characters, and it is, of course, impossible to say to which of these his description belongs. Waterhouse's " C a t a l o g u e " has been of great assistance in this matter, but even here one's ground is not quite firm, because his synonyms are as a rule founded upon the first insect in the Stephensian series, and may not apply to those taken in Suffolk at all.

Altogether, I have been unable to discover any satisfactory synonyms for nearly fifty of those species recorded hence by the older authors. One or two of the most interesting and noteworthy of these have been inserted in footnotes in their approximate places.

There remain a great number of these older records which have not been re-discovered in recent years, but we, no doubt, have not happened upon the correct spot, or, through the march of civilization (and, in this case, the term indicates agriculture), they may have become extinct. That many more of them, however, will re-appear may be surmised from the records of those already discovered. Scymnus pulchellus, which there is no evidence to show that Kirby did not take at Coddenham, a parish adjoining his own of Barham, is, perhaps, the best instance in point.

It is very much to be regretted that the majority of Kirby's captures are lost to us, except where they have been imperfectly handed down through Stephens' works. I have seen Kirby's collection in the British Muse.um, and there are no locality labels attached to the insects, nor do any localities appear in his descriptions, which assisted so materially in our earlier works upon this Order of Insects.

A word as to the extent of the various Districts which often recur in reference to the commoner species may not be out of place. T h e neighbourhood of Ipswich has been somewhat thoroughly worked during the last five years by myself and others, but is, as has already been shown, by no means exhausted ; and many species have been recorded thence only, not because they do not occur, but because they have not been observed

elsewhere. T h e " District " embraces approximately a circular area having a radius of five miles from the centre of the town.

T h e Sudbury District is more scattered, and reaches to Nayland, Lavenham and Stanstead, though, I believe, most of Mr. Ransom's captures were effected not far from the town.

That of Brandon is somewhat restricted, stretching from near Burnt Fen Station through Lakenheath and Elvedon to Bamham and Thetford.

T h e whole north-east corner of Suffolk is included in the Lowestoft District, which also comprises Barnby, Mutford, Henstead and Kessingland. Mr. Tuck's researches about Bury have been principally confined to Tostock, with occasional excursions to neighbouring, and particularly westward, parishĂŠs. ' . I From what we are told by Mr. Tyrer, I conclude that his captures were, in almost every instance, made in the immediate vicinity of Eye. Great care has been exercised in ascertaining, in such records as those from Sudbury, Bungay, Brandon and Newmarket, that the specimens mentioned were captured within the Suffolk boundary, but it is extremely difficult to be quite positive in all instances. I believe those examples taken about Brandon by Mr. Norgate, about Bungay by Mr. Garneys and Dr. Power, are all from south of the border, and in every other case, such as Paget's Yarmouth records, Mr. Harwood's from Manningtree, and Mr. Ransom's from Sudbury, there remains no doubt upon the subject.

T h e nomenclature employed is that of the latest " Catalogue of British Coleoptera," by Sharp and Fowler (with a few unimportant exceptions), which differs in no considerable particular from the latter's work, the latest published upon our indigenous beetles.

Many, very many, of my own and my friends' more critical captures have undergone the ordeal of Mr. Emanuel A. Newbery's searching eye, and in a work like the present to correctly specify the insects is as essential as is their capture ; hence I cannot omit the name of the friend who, perhaps above all others, initiated me into the mysteries of their identification. My best thanks to my fidus Achates, Mr. Ernest A. Elliott, F.i. INST., etc., I will but mention. My obligations to him in this and in all matters scientific are too numerous and deep for mere wording.

Where no authority is given, the record is in all cases my own.

But most certainly I cannot do so myself, and those gentlemen to whom I have applied for assistance have courteously declined to undertake so tremendous a responsibility ! I have no reason to suppose any of the names here given are at all correct, but simply insert them because I can see that the species so-called differ somewhat inter se. I am, however, certainly of the opinion that there are at least eight species from Suffolk in my collection.]

There were two examples in Kirby's collection without localities, under the name of Coccinella bisbipunctata, Marsham. The only other British record was that of a single specimen from Kent (Ent. Ann., 1864, p. 72). Rediscovered at Coddenham by Mr. Fred Fox in May, 1894, upon Pinus sylvestris. " I have taken between 200 and 300 specimens since discovering its whereabouts" (Fox, Nat. Journ., July, 1896).—Mr. Fox died on 18th May, 1897, and there is every probability that the above locality is lost with him. I know of no one in whose company he took pulchellus, nor if anyone knows the spot.

1 T h a n k s to Kirby's exertions we have a very fine list of this genus, of which seventy-six species occur in Britain ; but I certainly think that A. ononidis, GYLL., is to be met with on the Ononis spinosa, so common on our coast sands, at Kessingland, etc. ; and it is extremely probable that the even commoner A. scutellare, Kirby, occurs on Ulex in the county. In Norfolk, the former has been found at Yarmouth, and the latter is common.

2 It is hardly probable, I fear, that A. Inviatile, Kirby, incorrectly recorded by myself from the Ipswich District Ent. Ree. v., pp. 54 and 55), will occur with us; it seems nearly confined to the south east coast, Southend being its northern limit.

Although Charles J. Paget is rightly claimed as a Norfolk rather than a Suffolk naturalist, yet it may be interesting, in view of the good work he did in the north-east corner of the latter county, to mention that he was born in January, 1811, and from early boyhood evinced great attachment to botany and entomology; though there were in 1820 several good botanists in Yarmouth, Paget alone was already studying insects. All those species of the latter enumerated in the "Natural History of Great Yarmouth " are upon his own authority, and his brother, Sir James Paget, Bart., F.R.S., tells us 1 that a hundred species were added in an interleaved copy belonging to the author. H e was a friend of Sparshall, Hooker, Chawens, and, in his " British Entomology," Curtis has named after him the Trichopteron, Agrypnia pagetana, which Paget first discovered between Yarmouth and Caister in 1833. H e was an invalid from his youth up, and died all too prematurely in 1844.

3. T e m p e s t i v u s , Herbst.

Nayland (Elliott).—Common, on the banks of the Gipping, from Ipswich to Claydon, on Alisma.

1 T h e r e appears to be no reason for supposing that either E. stirpi, F., or bimaculatus, F., does not occur in Suffolk; they are both to be sought in m a r s h y places, the former at the roots of Scirpus and Sparganium, where it has been found in Essex ; the latter, in flood refuse and on sallows, has been taken, Fowler says, in Norfolk.

2 Stephens' [Man.] record of E. scirrhosus, from " Suffolk," undoubtedly, I think, refers to t h e present species. Arundineti, Kirby- nereis, Payk.

3 It is quite possible that D. salicinus, Gyll., and other damp-loving species occur on Salicis in our more extensive marsh lands.

4 Considering their expanse of marsh, mere and sea board, both Norfolk and Suffolk are extremely poor in this genus, which is, with p e r h a p s the exception of B. lutulosus, Gyll., exclusively a sub-aquatic one.

2 Since Fowler records S. arenaria, Steph., from Harwich, it may with some confidence b e expected to occur on our coast, beneath A renaria maritima, in sandy places.

POOPHAGUS.2 i. S i s y m b r i i , F. Fritton, on plants in ditches, common (Paget).— Sometimes plentifully, near Bungay (Garneys).—By the Gipping and at Foxhall, rather rare.

1 T h i s pit appears to have been a favourite haunt of Kirby's. It is a dear old place ; its chalk walls are green with age and mosses, their tops overhung with festoons of clematis, clinging picturesquely around the exposed limbs of sheltering oaks, which, like most of those in the surrounding park, are of great age ; its floor is almost entirely carpeted with moss, but bere and there with patches of bramble and nettles, chicory a n d wild mignonette, and the old cart track, long disused, scarcely now bears traces of the wheels that, a close scrutiny reveals, once so deeply scored it. T h e pit is situated some distance along a public, though primitive and little-frequented road, which joined that from the old parsonage near Barham Church. T h e two pits at Little Blakenham, so often referred to by Stephens, are very much larger, and were at one time extensively worked, though it is only upon very rare occasions one meets with a horse and cart t h e r e now.

2 P. nasturtii, Germ., also very possibly is to be met with on Nasturtium officinale (watercress), and is recorded from one or two localities in Norfolk, where, however, it would a p p e a r to be by no m e a n s common.

As I have already mentioned, a catalogue such as the present can never be considered quite complete—our British list is being annually augmented. I shall feel obliged, therefore, to anyone who will send m e reliable records of Suffolk insects—not Coleóptera alone—at any future date. It may be interesting to here mention that " T h e Lepidoptera of Suffolk" was published in 1890, that the Hymenoptera-Aculeata of the courity will, in 1899, be brought forward in the Trans. of the Norfolk a n d Norwich Nat. Soc., and that I have lists of the Diptera, Neuroptera, Hemiptera, Orthoptera and liymenoptera-Terebrantia in course of preparation.

THE

COLEOPTERA OF SUFFOLK. FIRST

SUPPLEMENT.

SUFFOLK has had the advantage of a good deal of attention from numbers of the best coleopterists of Britain since the account of her beetles was published in 1899 ; and the time seems to have come at which to bring forward in concrete form what has been the result of their labours here.

No doubt one of the most salutary effects of the first list was that of engaging the interest of these very coleopterists in the county. Mr. Champion and the late Dr. Mason visited Felixstowe, Mr. Newbery came to Lowestoft, where Mr. Bedwell has continued to collect; Professor Beare and Mr. Donisthorpe were at Oulton Broad in May, 1905, and subsequently at Ipswich ; Mr. C. T. Gimingham collected at Dunwich, and the late Mr. A. Beaumont at Foxhall; Mr. Rope has taken beetles at Blaxhall, and Rev. A. Waller at Hemley on the D e b e n ; Mr. E. A. Butler and the late Mr. A. J. Chitty found others at Foxhall. But the last, with Mr. Brockton Tomlin and myself, discovered so many good things about Brandon in June, 1903,* that the late Dr. G.W. Chaster, Mr. F. Jennings and other coleopterists also foregathered there a little later with equally advantageous results.

The vicinity of Barton Mills and Tuddenham Fen has received the attention of Dr. D. Sharp, Dr. Perkins, Mr. H. F. Fryer and Mr. Pool of the Zoological Gardens. In 1912, Dr. Nicholson and Dr. E. B. Smith made further discoveries about Aldeburgh ; and Mr. Tuck has added to his earlier Bury list. Mr. Ernest A. Elliott, F.Z.S., and I have continued to scour the county in every direction, as is our ancient wont.

T h e result of all this exertion has been the compiling of a total number of some 2,000 different species, a good increase on the 1,763 of the original list; and it is now sufficiently apparent that additional kinds are not * C/. E.M.M. 1903, p. 204.

easily come at.

But that the fauna is by no means exhausted may be

inferred by a comparison with the adjacent counties.

In 1904 I placed

the species side by side with those of Norfolk,* which showed that it possessed 323 not then found liere.

Since that time both catalogues have

been considerably augmented, with the resuit that to-day Suffolk stands at the total of 1,982 and Norfolk f at 1,934.

Collectively, no British county

could excel such a number.

It has not been considered expedient to enter in this first Supplement all the distributional localities that are now known for kinds originally recorded to occur here.

Only the additions are instanced ; but among the

1,763 species published in 1899 were 183 which rested upon old or unsatisfactory authority ; most of the former sort were not unsatisfactory, though their age rendered confirmation desirable.

Assiduity of collectors

since that date has had the pleasing result of placing fifty-three of these occurrences upon an entirely trustworthy footing, and, since the present appears a fitting opportunity, these confirmations are here suffixed.

Not less than sixteen years ago, d o I now tender wärmest thanks to every one, and they are very many, who has furthered the investigation of the Coleoptera of Suffolk.
