The partiality of Anthophora quadrimaculata for the flower of Lamium purpu- 

 reum vrna most marked. Two small patches of this plant occurred on the coast within 

 one or two miles of Newquay and they were rarely passed without two or three 

 specimens being seen on them; they apparently visited no other flower. A large

 plant life. The burrows were vertical and so close togetber that the 15 $ s and 

 17 ? s were dug out from about six square inches of cliff.— E. B. Nevinson.,
