Coleoptera from the “Arctic Bed ” at Barnwell Station, Cambridge
SUMMARY Remains of coleoptera collected by Miss Chandler from the Barnwell Station beds (Cambridge) are described. Twenty-one recognizable taxa are recorded, all of which represent living genera or species. Five species are no longer found living in Britain and are confined today to arctic or sub-ar...
