OSMIA. 



Very few species of Osmia have as yet been discovered in 

 New England. "It is certain," says Professor Cockerell in a 

 letter to the writer, "that the genus is a very large one with us, 

 and since it seems to abound in the mountains and northward 

 in the west I do not know why we do not see more species from 

 the New England States."
