Myrmica ruginodis, Nyl. Several winged females and a number 

 of workers were brought to me by Mr Muir in August last. 



Vespa sylvestris, Scop. A "queen" of this Wasp was obtained 

 in 1908, and another at lighthouse in July 1913. 



Bombus lapponicus, F. On 24th June 1899 I observed a female 

 visiting the flowers of Silene maritima. 



Bombus terrestris, L., race lucorum. One, a male, taken 

 in 1908. 



Lissotiota, sp. ? A small female Ichneumon-fly got in July last 

 appears to belong to this genus.

 1901.

 specimens taken in June 1901, March 19 13, and July 191 8.

 of active service in the Great War.
