or myself, the followiui;- species may bo meutioiied. Examples supposed 

 to be A ^•imiUima Sm., from Cromer, Norfolk, and from L. Rannoch, 

 Scotland, are only pubesctns F. All the Norwich ^ ^ (received from 

 Bindci^mau) , supposed to be tridentata K., are nigrieeps K. The 

 supposed* ^ r? of fncata Sm. are ordinary trimmerana Auct. The $ 

 assigned to A. si)nilis Sm. is an elongated alhirans K., next to which it 

 is placed. A. himaculata K. stands under four names : A. bimaculata 

 and decorata, the sprint;- and autumn liroods, more or less red marked, 

 and A. conjunda Sm., and vitrea Sm., the same without red markings. 

 The i^ (^ under A. nigroaenea K. are half of them A. tibialis K. ; 

 those under the latter are correct, except for a single (J nitida, mis- 

 placed probably through carelessness. 



A. frontalis Smith is represented by three examples : two very 

 old, and no doubt the original ones, and one added later. The former 

 are J cetii Schr., and ,^ ehrysoscelesJ^.; the latter \s fulvescens J^. The 

 series of A. fulvago Christ, includes three ? chrysosceles and two ? 

 fulves"e>is K. A. plcipes K. is I'epresented by the three examples from 

 Portslade, sent by Walcott, and two other specimens, possibly from 

 Bridgman. The former are ^ and $ nigroaenea and ? tibialis, all 

 stylopized ; the latter /iij/roae^iea 9 stylopized. They can have nothing 

 to do with the original picipes of Kirby. A. picicornis K. is repre- 

 sented by a cJ and $ , both stylopized, of A. wilhella K. This ^ 

 might possibly represent Kirby's jui'ci^jes, but certainly not picicornis. 

 There seems to have been some confusion between these two forms by 

 Smith, and it appears that in his 2ud edition he must have described 

 both from the same specimens (sent by Walcott), as his description of 

 picij)es has not the least resemblance to those so named in his cabinet, 

 but was evidently made from nigroaenea or tibialis. In Walcott's 

 collection at Cambridge, I have seen the other specimens, taken at 

 Portslade, and these are also mixed tibialis and nigroaenea. (For my 

 remarks on the Kirbyan species see ante p. 50.) 



• Another stylopized Andrena that calls for remark is a single $ 

 placed under mouffetella K. The latter is well known to be tibialis, 

 changed by pai'asitism. Smith's specimen has nothing to do with 

 this, l)ut I believe is a $ of fasciata Nyl., slightly altered by the 

 stylops. It is in beautiful condition and was taken at Holdershot 

 Heath, near Farnborough in July, 184<9. I cannot find any second 

 brood in A. fasciata recorded in this country, nor in Alfken's German 

 lists, though it is one of the earliest spring bees — appearing as early
