COLEOPTERA IN SEPTEMBER ON BRIGANTINE BEACH, N. J., ON THE ATLANTIC COAST

Coleopterists accustomed to collect on the sea shore may find little that is new to them in this article; but to those from the interior, making only occasional short visits, it may be useful in directing attention to some of the less common insects, and to some not likely to be found by one unacquainted with their habits. Brigantine Beach is somewhat insular, being six or seven miles off from the main land, yet none of the Coleoptera mentioned are peculiar to it, and, being mostly maritime species, probably occur in suitable situations all along the coast from New York southward indefinitely.
