216 SOME BRITISH WILD BEES. 



A list of bees found this year by me in the vicinity 

 of Bristol up to the first week in June (weather not very 

 suitable for the tribe) may be of interest to local hymenop- 

 terists, and with that I will conclude this brief epitome of 

 my paper : — Bombus hortoruin^ B. terrestris, B. virginalis, 

 B. lapidariiLS^ Andrena albicans^ A. nitida^ A. atriceps, 

 Osmia rufa, Anthophora piiipes, and Psithyrus vestalis — 

 the last suspiciously in attendance upon B. virginalis. 

 Some of the Nomadce I have also noticed on the wing.
