OdontoiYiyla vlrldula, Fah.— Kenmare, Darryuane, Waterville. Very 



common at the last-named locality round the shores of the small

Very common at Caragh Lake— the females sitting on cow-dung, 



the males on leaves of sycamore, lime, aspen, &c. Mr. Verrall notes 



of a § taken at Valencia Island, loth Aug., that it seems identical 



with the Forest of Dean species (.S". ritfipes). 

 S. Iridatus, vScop. — Glengariff, June 18. Kenmare, June 27 and July 7. 



Parknasilla, July 18. This species appears in Verrall's List as

 some numbers; the males common at Loo Bridge, sitting on Umbel- 

 liferse heads.

 30 to July 10. Loo Bridge, July 6. Uncommon. 



Tabanus sudctlcus? Zlr. — Kenmare, very common. Gleccar, Loo 

 Bridge, and Staigue Fort. Mr. Verrall does not seem to be satisfied 

 about the identification of these specimens, and even suggests that 

 they may belong to an undescribed species ; he adds, " make some- 

 body catch the male next summer." Any volunteers for this job ! 

 The females are very common along both banks of the Kenmare 

 River, quite close to the Southern Hotel. So much so that on July 

 7th, near Killowen Church, I had iS specimens in my cyanide 

 bottle at one time.

 marshy ground near Drumnassig Bridge, Parknasilla, Loo Bridge.
