 Claude Morley, Ipswich, has kindly identified it for me. WILLIAM

Amblyteles indoeilis, Wesm., Ichneumon liostylus, Thorns., 

 and other lehneumonidse in Forth. Mr. Claude Morley has 

 recently been good enough to examine some of my Ichneumon-flies 

 collected in the Forth district, and has identified among them the 

 following noteworthy species, namely : 



Amblyteles indocilis, Wesm. 3 9 's ; from Pentlands, above Balerno, 



4th October 1897; Comiston, July 1899; and Macbiehill, 



1872, respectively. 

 Barichneumon eupitliecicc, Brisch. --(?, from larva of Eupithecia 



helveticata, Pentland Hills, 1897. 

 Ichneumon liostylus, Thorns. 2 cPs, Forest Mill, Clackmannanshire, 



2 ist May 1901. 



Ichneumon monostagon, Grav. <$ , Longniddry, i6th May 1901. 

 Iclmeiimon vulneratorius, Zett. 9 , Carnethy Hill, Pentlands, March 



1894. 

 Ichneumon sarcitorius, L. , entering burrow of Andrena trim- 



merana, Swanston, i2th June 1900; Aberdour, St. David's, 



etc., both sexes. 

 Colpotrochia elegantula, Schr. 3 ? 's ; Aberfoyle, two, 27th July 



1900; Forest Mill, one, i3th July 1901. 



The three first-named are, Mr. Morley tells me, new to Britain.

Podon leuekartii, G. O. Sars, in the Firth of Forth and the 

 Moray Firth. When recently overhauling some gatherings of 

 Entomostraca collected a good while ago in the Firth of Forth, I 

 found, on re-examining the specimens of Podon, that they all 

 belonged to the species known as Podon leuekartii, G. O. Sars. 

 Having satisfied myself about these, I proceeded to re-examine a 

 number of specimens from the Moray Firth, and found that they 

 also belonged to the same species. So far as I know Podon 

 leuekartii has not been recorded from either Firth. Podon poly- 

 phemoides (Leuckart) has been recorded from both places, and it is 

 just possible that the one has been mistaken for the other. It 

 appears that P. E. Miiller, in 1867, made a similar mistake regarding 

 these two forms (see " Danmarks Cladocera," p. 220, pi. vi., figs. 5 

 and 6), and De Guerne, in his paper on Ectinosoma, Boeck, and 

 Podon, Lilljeborg, also mistook the one for the other (" Bull. Soc. 

 Zool. de France," t. xii. p. 10). Moreover, in a paper published in 

 the "Journal of the Birmingham Natural History and Philosophical 

 Society," entitled 'Synopsis of the British Cladocera,' by T. V. Hodgson 

 (published February 1895), Podon is represented in the British fauna
