Hymenoptera. 



In last year's Eecord mention was made of some Bombi which had been 

 determined by Mr. H. J. Franklin. During the past year further collec- 

 tions of these insects have been examined by Mr. Franklin, and from a com- 

 plete list of the species named by him, the following are thought worthy of 

 mentioning here. Unfortunately, little work seems to have been done in 

 the important order of hymenoptera in Canada during the year, consequently 

 very few other records have been received.
