ing from beating, the sweeping net was used, and it produced 

 among others Nematus rumicis. Next day an assault was made on 

 the beautiful and singularly shaped Ben Laoghal, but the rain 

 coming on, it proved fruitless. Altogether, I think that this 

 district, as well as the northern coast, would yield, under favourable 

 circumstances, many new and interesting Hymenoptera, and I 

 shall look forward with pleasure to revisiting it. 



Of Cynipidae no new species were met with among the gall 

 makers. The white woolly gall of Andricus ramuli was a con- 

 spicuous object on the oak everywhere. A, amentl was also 

 noticed, and Trigonaspis megaptera was abundant. At Bonar an 

 addition to our fauna was found in Hexacola hexaioma, H., a parasitic 

 form. Pezophjcta hrachytera was the only other noteworthy capture 

 among the parasitics. Aculeata were extremely rare, as I don't 

 think I saw a dozen species altogether. 



After these introductory remarks, I will now proceed to 

 enumerate seriatim all the species found among the Tenthredinidae, 

 Cynipidae, and Aculeata, leaving the other families to be treated 

 in a subsequent paper.
