Orygma luctttosa, St. Marj's, 9 and 10/4/04; Tresco, 11/4/04, probably common 

 everywhere round the coast. 



Facomyia frigida, common everywhere round the coast. 

 Coelopa pilipes, Tresco, 11/4/04. 



In addition to the above, specimens of the following families 

 were seen, but left severely alone, viz., Psijchodidce, Simulidce, Ceci- 

 domyidce, and ChironomidoB, and also some Muscidce, e. g., Stomoxys 

 calcitrans, Polietes lardaria, Galliphora sp., Pyrellia sp., Lucilia sp. 

 If specimens had been taken of every species seen it is doubtful 

 whether the total would have reached fifty species. 



Mr. Jenkinson has kindly sent me records of the following 

 additional species, which were met with by him during his stay in 

 Tresco in March, 1902 : Sceptonia nigra, Gampsicnemus scambus, 

 Eristalis arbustorum, Sgrphus torvus, S. auricollis, S. luniger, and 

 Mlachyptera cor nut a. 



In other Orders some kind friends have helped me, and Mr. 

 Saunders has named the Aculeate Ilymenoptera which I met with : — 



Andrena nigroxnea, Kirb., 5 J , St. Mary's, 9/4/04; A. afzeliella, Kirb., 1 $ , 

 a very interesting specimen, with the haii's of the face nearly black (as in fulvicrus). 



Bombus smithianus, White, 1 9 of the typical form, viz., with the hairs of the 

 under-side deep black ; this form, which is common in the Shetland Isles and the 

 extreme north, has only occurred in the soutli in Scilly, and as single examples, 

 near Dover, and elsewhere in Xent, whereas the form with the pale ventral hairs is 

 widely distributed over the southern parts of Great Britain. 



Regarding the species seen but of which no specimens have 

 been brought away, they were as follows : two common species of 

 Bombus, and a small species of the same genus (jonellus ?), a hand- 

 some Anthopliorn with bright brownish-red pubescence (probably 

 retusa, Kirb., ^), and the Honey Bee. 



Mr. Waterbouse has kindly sent the accompanying list of the 

 few Ooleoptera collected in the islands: —

 palus latus, L., Aniara trivialis, L., Creophilu.i maxiUosus, L., Cafius fucicola, 

 Curtis, C. xantholoma, Grav., Myrmedonia canalicidata, Fabr., Xantholinus longi- 

 ventris, Heer, Sfenus Juno, ¥., Omalium Ixviusculum, Gyll., O. riparium, Th., 

 Tachinus subterraneus, L., Cercyon lUtoralis, Gyll., Saprinus marUimus, Steph., 

 Aphodius punctatosulcatus, S., A. finietarius, L., Geotrupen vulgaris, L., Helops 

 striatus, Fourcr., Hellopathes gibbus, Fabr., Meloe proscarabieus, L., Sitones cam- 

 bricus, Steph., Hypera plantaginis, De Geer, Otiorrhynchus atroapterus, De Geer,
