Rh Ilyobates propinquus and I. glabriventris, Euryporus picipes, Stapbylinus fulvipes and S. latebricola, Medon obsoletus, Oxytelus fairmairei, Compsocbilus palpalis, Homalium salicis and Pseudopsis sulcata. Among the Clavicornia again Mr. Elliman has done good work, having taken such species as Anisotoma oblonga, Agaricopbagus cepbalotes, Euthia schaumi, Trichonyx märkeli and T. sulcicollis,etc.; 21 species of Meligetbes have been recorded from the county, 26 species of Longitarsus, and no less than 54 species of Apion. In the days of the early collectors, Black Park was a well known locality; in 1857 Megapenthes tibialis was captured here, and other good species were, I believe, also found. Little Brickhill near Stony Stratford used to be the chief locality for the very rare weevil, Acalyptus carpini, which does not appear to have been taken for many years; it was taken in some numbers in this place on sallows in April 1852 by Mr. S. Stevens. Several good Heteromera have occurred, among them Tetratoma desmaresti and T. ancora, Hallomenus humeralis and Conopalpus testaceus, while among the Rhynchophora may further be noticed Choragus sheppardi, Apion annulipes, Brachysomus hirtus, Gymnetron melanarius and G. rostellum, 'Poophagus nasturtii, Ceuthorrhyncbus euphorbiæ, Rhinoncus denticollis, Cissophagus hederæ and Cryphalus fagi. Considering the small number of workers who have paid attention to the Coleoptera of the county, the list given below is an eminently satisfactory one.
