212 [February, 



— of this insect, of which only three or four other examples have occurred, I took a 

 fine male in 1882, and a second in 1883, the latter from its burrow in a post : 

 cephalotes, Panz., vagahundus, Panz., cribrarius, L., vagus, L., Kollari, Dhlb. — of 

 this novelty (see Ent. Mo. Mag., vol. xix, p. 246, April, 1883) I have taken a nice 

 series of both sexes on Angelica flowers : albilahris, F. — on flowers of Anthemis 

 cotula, &c. 



Entomognathus brevis, V. d. L. 



Oxybelus unigluinis, L. — not uncommon at Dovercourt on yarrow-flowers. 

 Vespa crabro (not seen during the past two seasons), v«/_9'rtr/5, L., ^erwaHJca, 

 F., rufa, L., and sylvestris, Scop. 



Odynerus spinipes, L., melanocephalus, G-mel., caUosus, Thoms. (this was found as 

 early as March 26th, \SS2), parietum, L., pictus, Curt., trifaseiatus , Oliv., antilope, 

 Panz. — not uncommon at raspberry flowers ; parietinus, L., and sinuatus, F. 



Colletes succincta, L. — at flowers of Eryngium maritimum, common, but local : 

 Daviesana, Sm. — common at Anthemis cotula and Tanacetnm vulgare flowers. 



Prosopis communis, Nyl., signata, Panz., hyalinata, Sm., confusa, Nyl., brevi- 

 cornis, Nyl., and pictipes, Nyl. — this last very local species occurs in my garden, 

 where its habit is to burrow into old posts. 



Sphecodes gihbus, \j., pilifrons, Thoms., and ephippium, L. 



Halictus ruhicundiis, Chr., leucozonius, Schr., qtiadrinotatiis, Kirb., cylindricus, 

 F., albipes, Kirb., villosulus, Kirb., nitidiusculus, Kirb., punctatissimus, Schk., titmu- 

 lorum, L., minutissimus, Kirb., Smeathmanellus, Kirb., and Mario, F. 



Andrena Hattorfiana, F. — two specimens only as yet, on Scabiosa arvensis 

 flowers: ciw^2</a<a, F.- - apparently rare and local, Nayland ; albicans, Kii'b., and 

 atriceps, Kirb., rosce, Panz. — rare, Stanway : Trimmerana, Kirb., and var. spinigera, 

 fulva, Schr., Clarkella, Kirb. — Nayland, St. Osyth, and Bentley (Suffolk) ; a fine, 

 variety of the female occurred, with the pubescence on the abdomen entirely fulvous 

 instead of black : nigro-cBnea, Kirb. — common inland, swarming on the coast : 

 Gwynana, Kirb., and its autumn brood bicolor : pracox. Scop. — at sallow blossoms, 

 Nayland, &c., also near Sudbury (Suffolk) : varians, Kossi, helvola, 'L.,fucata, Sm., 

 rare, St. Osyth, on bramble flowers : nigriceps, Kirb. — one specimen near Bentley 

 (Suffolk) on ragwort in 1882, a fine series at Stanway on bramble flowers, July, 

 1883 : dentictdata, Kirb. — at thistle flowers, rare : fidvicrus, Kirb. — rare at present, 

 Nayland : albicriis, Kirb. — this is one of the bees that buiTOw in trodden pathways ; 

 the males may be seen flying close to the ground, upon which the tiny mounds of 

 earth thrown up by the females may be easily discovered ; where these are quite 

 fresh, the proprietor of the establishment maj- generally be found at home : chryso- 

 celes, Kirb., coitana, Kirb., lahialis, Kii'b., minntula, Kirb., nana, Kirb., dorsata,
