Hymenoptera. 



There are few records of work among the Canadian hymenoptera during 

 the past season. Mr, Harvey, of Vancouver, Mr., Hanham, of Victoria, 

 B.C., and Mr. Willing, of Regina, N.W.T., have collected in all families 

 of this order; and Mr. E. P, Venables, at Vernon, B, C, has made a 

 specialty of the Bomhi. The distribution of the species is being worked out, 

 and reference to rarities is held over for the present. Several of our lepi- 

 dopterists are paying attention to hymenopterous parasites, which is a sub- 

 ject much requiring special study. 



Orthoptera. 



Dr. E. M. Walker, of Toronto, has named several collections of Cana- 

 dian material and is publishing results of his examinations in the Canadian 

 Entomologist. Mr. Venables, of Vernon, B.C, Mr, Willing, of Regina, 

 N.W.T., and Mr. Criddle, of Aweme, Man., are accumulating material. Mr. 

 A. N. Caudell, has published some notes on British Columbian and Northwest 

 species.

 son, one having been taken on the sidewalk in the street and the other fly- 

 ing around a lamp in a neighbor's house. The evidence was that these speci- 

 mens had been introduced in bunches of bananas, Mr, Stevenson also col- 

 lected under similar circumstances some other species of cock-roaches which 

 had also been introduced with bananas. Another specimen was found by Miss
