Polycentropus Kingi, McL. At springs on the banks of the stream 

 Cruncecia irrorata, Curt., was just emerging. 



Examples were also taken in different localities of the following 

 species: Qrammotaulius atomarius, F ., Limnophilus centralis, Curt., 

 affinis, Curt, (confined to a yew tree in a shady part of the garden), 

 sparsus, Curt, (in the garden), L. auricula, Curt., Goera pilosa, F., 

 Silo pallipes, F., Bercca maurus, Curt., B. pullata, Curt., and Poly- 

 centropus flavomaculatus, Pict. 



In Chrysopidee, Ghrysopa flavifrons, Brauer, was in very great 

 abundance. The other species found were flaoa, Scop., ventralis, 

 Curt., alba, L., and aspersa, Wesm. At first, Ohrysopce held the field 

 to the utter exclusion of the genus Hemerobius, aud it was only 

 towards the end of my stay that I gathered a few Hemerobii, including 

 H. subnebulosus, Steph., nervosus, F., stigma, Steph , lutescens, F. and 

 one quadrifasciatus, Reuter, $ . 



With regard to Odonata, the Morfa proved to be the best 

 collecting ground, but even here at the end of the month it was 

 practically deserted by these insects. In the earlier part of July 

 Pyrrhosoma tenellum, Vill., was accompanied by a good many Agrion 

 pulchellum, V.d.L., and of course swarms of Ischnura elegans, V.d.L. 

 One Lestes sponsa, Hans., was found near the end of the month. 

 Other species to be found about the Morfa were L. quadrimaculata, 

 L., Orthetrum ccerulescens, F., Sympetrwm striolatum, Clip., an oc- 

 casional Cordulegaster annul at us, Latr., and P. nymph ula, Sulz. 

 One day a good many adult Libellula depressa, L., <$ <$ , appeared, 

 and three were taken ; the species was never seen again. Galopteryx 

 virgo, L., was exceedingly common at several of the streams. 

 Enallagma cyathigeruw, Chp., was found at Cwm Bychan and at a 

 lake near the foot of Snowdon. The only species of JEschna seen was 

 juncea, L. ; it was rather common in the glens. There was no 

 uncertainty about the identification ; I did not want them, but took 

 two or three to prevent question. Of course such insects as 0. 

 ccerulescens, C. annulatus, and S. striolatum were not confined to the 

 Morfa, but were found in many other places. 



For the first time on my excursions I paid some attention to the 

 PsocidcB, but for these insects the great heat aud drought were too 

 much. My captures included Psocus longicornis, L., P. sexpunctatus, 

 L., P. bijasciatus, Ltr., Elipsocus unipunctatus, Miill., and K. cyanops, 

 Eost.
