Aculeate TTi/menoptera near Bradford in 1007. — The following captures are 

 species not included in Mr. W. Denison Roebuck's list of Aculeate TJ ymenoptera in 

 the recently published "Victoria County History of York," vol. i : — Preuolepis 

 vividula, Nyl., abundant in greenhouses, Lister Park, Bradford ; Pemphredon 

 lethifer, Shuck., bred commonly from bramble stems collected near Bradford ; 

 Sphecodes ferruginatus, Sch., several, both sexes, Harden Moor, associating with 

 Jlalictus rubicundiis ; Halictus atricornis, Smith, on blackberry, Shipley Glen, in 

 July; IT. fnlvicornis, Kirb., Harden, females only ; U.freygessneri, Alfk., Wilsden, 

 August, females only. In the absence of males of the above two species from the 

 same locality, Mr. E. Saunders — to whom I am indebted for kindly naming my 

 specimens — does not feel justified in deciding without reservation as to the identity 

 of these closely allied species. Andrena lapponica, Zett., common on the moors in 

 June ; A. fuscipes, Kirb., Botanical Garden, Lister Park, Bradford. In addition 

 to the above, it may be interesting to put on record that I captured a ? Vespa 

 austriaca, Panz., at large on July 21st in Grass Wood, Grassington. — Bosse
