Abstract
RECENTLY a new form of Geiger–Müller tube has been developed (by G. A. R. T.) which has been found extremely useful in studying the movements of Elaterid beetles of the genus Agriotes Esch. As these beetles are known to fly but rarely in Britain, a study of the extent to which they may move by walking is of considerable interest.
