The weather during the second half of September was anything but propitious for Entomology, being very wet and of ten cold, but, with the elements thus against us, the appended condensed list will show that deserted Suffolk (for who has collected here since Kirby's day, when it was one of the most prolific of the English counties ?), at least in the N. W., can hold its own with most districts as far as Coleoptera are concerned. Licinus depressus, very sparingly, from Thetford to Lakenhe...
