Ictcrica westermanni, Meig. — The late Mr. Howard Vaughan gave me three 

 specimens taken by him in 1870 at , I believe, Leigh near Southend. I doubt 

 whether Mr. C. W. Dale took this species himself in 1837 ! 



The only other misprint I can see is Mcllia, which should be UreUia cometa. — 

 O. II. Vereall, Sussex Lodge, Newmarket: Septemher 15th, 1904. 



Ichneumon inquinatus, Wesiu., and Ambit/teles microcephaJus, iS^e/)A. — During 

 the Meeting of the British Associaf ion I had an opportunity of examining the 

 IchneumoniniE collected by the Rev. Leonard Jenyns in Cambridgeshire (1824-18t0), 

 and now preserved, with his MS. notes and localities, in the Cambridge Museum. 

 The only specimen of real interest is that of Amhlyteles microcephalus (recorded 

 from Wisbeach in my Ichn. Brit., p. 203), but a careful examination proved it to be 

 a ? of Ichneumon inquinatus, Wesm., with no relation to A. viicrocephaluK, which 

 is only known in the ^ sex. Consequently, Stephens' single type in the British 

 Museum still remains unique. — Claude Morley, Ipswich : August 2G</<, 1904.

Senor Pedro Antign y Sunyer. — It is with sincere regret tiiat I have to report 

 the death at Barcelona on July 22nd last of an entomologist who has done much to 

 increase our knowledge of the interesting Spanish fauna. 



Pedro Antiga y Sunyer was born at Barcelona on June 19th, 1854. liis fatlier 

 was head of an important school in that city, and he himself graduated in Law, 

 Philosophy and Literatui-e. Later, and up to the time of his death, he was an 

 Assistant Secretary of the Orcnse-Vigo Railway, a post which left him but little 

 leisure for his favourite studies. Probably for this reason his work was limited en- 

 tirely to the insects of his own district ; and as these before his time were little 

 known, and as he was himself an exceptionally good collector, he achieved within 

 this necessarily narrow sphere a somewhat remarkable success. In many of the 

 principal Monographs that have appeared of late years (especially those dealing 

 with Hymenoptera) his name occurs as having communicated to the authors speci- 

 mens of rare or obscure species, and quite a number of additions to the general 

 list of insects have been made on " types " of his capturing, though, as far as I 

 know, he did not attempt descriptive work himself. He acted as Correspondent in 

 Barcelona for the Madrid Museum, and commenced in co-operation with Seiior 

 Bofill y Pichot an exceedingly careful list (witli precise localities and dates) of the 

 insects of his own province. Of this work — Cata/ech de Insectes de Catalunya — 

 several parts have already appeared, dealing with the Chrysids, Vexpidx, Mutillids, 

 etc., and probably others must exi.st in MS., which, it is to be hoped, will yet be 

 published. — F. D. MoRlCK.
