Sutton Park ; of this last named species Mr. Verrall informs me he has taken one 

 in twenty-five years' collecting. Limnohia hifasciata, Amalopis littoralis, Cono-ps 

 quadrifasciatus and ceriiformis, were taken freely at Wyre Forest. Tipula vittata — 

 of this rare " daddy " between thirty and forty were taken during May in Sutton 

 Park ; also a few T. Diana, Pedicia rivosa (commonly), and a magnificent series of 

 Poecilostola punctata, varying from pale grey to black forms, — R. C. Beadlet,

Mare Heniiptera at Chohham and Surliton. — During the past summer I have 

 spent several weeks at each of the above places, and have been fortunate in finding 

 many Hemiptera which, if not very rare, are local and worth recording. 



At Chobham in July on elms I took both Orthotylus viridinervis, Kbm., and 

 ochrotrichus, D. & S., pretty commonly, but was unable to find Scotti, Reut. ; on 

 sallows I took Plesiocoris rugicoUis, Fall., commonly, Psallus albicinctus, Kbm., one 

 specimen, described in our last number, Pediopsis cereus. Germ., and impurus. Boh., 

 Idioeerus elegans, Flor, rarely, lituratus. Fall., confiisus, Flor, and Aphrophora salicis, 

 De Gf". ; by sweeping in the evening on the Common, I found Myrmus miriformis, 

 Fall., very commonly, developed and undeveloped, and of all shades of colour, from 

 brown to apple-green, Cymus melanocephalus, Fieb., Aphanus pini, Linn., with, the 

 membrane almost colourless, Capstis scutellaris, Fab., one specimen of the black variety, 

 Systellonotus triguttatui^, Linn., freely, running amongst a colony of Lasius niger, 

 on a hillock covered with Hieracium pilosella — the similarity existing between 

 the ? Systellonotus and the $ Lasius is really extraordinary when the two are 

 running about together ; Amblytylus hrevicollis, Fieb., one specimen, Allodapus 

 rufescens, Burm.,on heather, but not abundantly, and only in the undeveloped form, 

 Doratura stylata. Boh., common in damp places, Athysanus melanopsis. Hardy, 

 scarce, Deltocephalus repletus, Fieb., in dry grassy localities, Olyptoceplialus proceps, 

 Kbm., one $ , Thamnotettix striatula. Fall., and Limotettix striola, Fall., in damp 

 places ; off poplars, by beating, I obtained Idioeerus albicans, Kbm., and Psallus 

 Motermundi, Scholz. 



At Surbiton, in July and August, I captured off aspens, Idioeerus populi, Linn., 

 and albicans, Kbm., Pediopsis fuscinervis. Boh., and off the same species of tree on 

 Esher Common, Idioeerus tremulcs, Estl., and laminatus, Flor ; by sweeping on Esher 

 Common I got a <? of the great rai'ity, Liburnia Dalei, Scott, a (? of Qlyptocephalus 

 proceps, Kbm., Deltocephalus Argus, Marsh., and Thamnotettix cruentata, Pz. ; off 

 elms I got Orthotylus ochrotrichus commonly, but neither viridinervis nor Scotti ap- 

 peared, A ntho cor is gall arum ulmi, De Gr., rarely, and in only one locality, and Ortho- 

 tylus marginalis. Rent., this species so common on willows and sallows I have never 

 before taken on elm, but near Surbiton I found it so several times, and in localities 

 where no Salix seemed to be near ; on Achillea millefolium I took Macrocoleus 

 tanaceti. Fall., freely, but in one spot only ; Megalocercea longicornis. Fall., also 

 occurred in one small area on Lolium perenne ; Airactotomus niali, Mey., $ and ? 

 by sweeping. — Edward Saunders, St. Ann's, Woking : October 8th, 1892. 



Mr. Albarda's Collection of Pal(Barctic Neuroptera. — It was with great regret 

 I heard some time since from my valued friend and correspondent, Mr. H. Albarda, 

 of Leeuwarden, that failing eyesight had caused him to abandon Entomology. His
