Insects.

I may also mention, in addition to the Coleoptera recorded in the 'Entomologist' (Entom.223), I have since met with Choragus Sheppardi, Nedyus setiger, Gymnaetron Beccabungae, Syncalypta maritima, and Claviger foveolatus in nests of Fomaica nigra as well as flava.—S. Stevens; 38, King Street, Covent Garden, March 6th, 1846.

Note on the capture of Lepidopterous Insects at Black Parle, Bucks. — In the 'Zoolo- gist' (Zool. 804), I have given a list of the productions of this interesting place up to September, 1844 ; this last season has produced a few more rarities which perhaps are worth recording in your pages, making the entomology of the place more complete, and showing to your readers the richness of the locality.
