G. Blatch worked more or less in the northern part, especially in the Severn valley. Accounts of his discoveries were published from time to time in the Entomologist' s Motithly Magazine. Others must have worked in different localities if we are to judge by occasional references to Worcestershire in Fowler's Cokoptera of the British Islands. The species found here hitherto number about a thousand. The following list includes the less common species only : — Cychrus rostratus, L. Wyre Forest, Crown Notiophilus rufipes. Curt.
