usual generosity he has handed over to me are the following, which are of interest 

 either for their rarity or for the sake of the locality : — Tiphia minuta,Y. deJj.,

 taken by Col. Yerhury at Porthcawl also in 1904, and Ccelioxt/a mandibularis, ^ , 

 this sex has only occurred twice in this country, Mr. G. Arnold having also taken 

 it on the Wallasey sandhills. The female has been taken several times on the coast

Hgmenoptera Aculeata in West SuffolTc and at Eastbourne.— lAeat.-CoX. Nurse, 

 of Timworth Hall, Bury St. Edmund's, who has collected Humenoptera assiduously 

 in West Suffolk, has asked me to prepare a list of those of his captures which 

 I think should be recorded. Many of the species met with are of considerable 

 rarity, and three are not mentioned in Mr. Morley's list of Suffolk Bymeyioptera, 

 but of these, one, Halictus fidvicornis, K., has probably been recorded under the old 

 name of sub/asciatu.t. which is now removed from our list, having been split up 

 into fulvicornis, K., and freygessneri, Alfk. The others, Prosopis cornuta. Smith, 

 and Avdrena nireata, Friese, are new to the list. The following are the rarer and 

 more interesting among his captures: — Pompilus minutulus,'Dh\h.,l ^ , Tudden- 

 ham, vi. Agenia hircana. Fab., Tuddenhara, Timworth, and Livermere, vi, vii. 

 Astatiis stigma, Pz., Tuddenham and West Stow, vi, vii. Qorytes campestris, L.,

 Mfl/ws, Fab., 1 (?, Tuddenham, vii. Crabro pubescens. Shuck., <? , 9 . Ampton, vi. 

 C. podagricus, V. d. L., Timworth, vii and viii. C. palmarius, Schreb., very common

 Schr., 2 9 , Cavenham, vii.Oo, and viii.06. A. niveata, Friese, Timworth, Tudden- 

 ham, and Ingham, vi to viii. At Eastbourne Col. Nurse had the good fortune to 

 meet with Halictus brevicotmis, Schk.,&nA\ng it just about the same time as I found 

 mine at Southbourne ; he also took several of H. imncticollis, E. Saund. (Mor. ?), 

 a new locality for this far from common species. — Id. : January 2'7th, 1907. 



Occurrence of Chrysopa dorsalis, Burm., in iVor/bZ^.— Early last year I sent 

 some Neuroptera to Dr. Cassal for determination, and some of these specimens 

 were forwarded by him to Mr. K. J. Morton. Amongst them was one specimen of 

 Chrysopa dorsalis, which I took near King's Lynn in June, 1904. Recognising the
