This paper contains descriptions of some apparently new species of \ 



ichneumons from British Columbia. Most of these are contained in a j 



very interesting collection made by the Rev. G. W. Taylor, during his \ 



residence at Cedar Hill, near Victoria, V. L When Mr. Taylor left j 



Ottawa to return to Victoria, about three years ago, he very generously \ 



handed over to me his Hymenoptera, only asking that I should publish a \ 



list of the species. To enable me to fulfil this request, I have found it ] 



necessary to first prepare descriptions of the new species. \
