5-fasciala, Linn., Crabro podaffricus, v. d. Lincl., and gonager, Lcp., in addition. 

 At Wisley I look Pompilus bieolor, Lcp., Salius notatulm, Sannd., Miscophus 

 eoncolor, Dhlb., Crabro i-maculalus^&h. (with var. geniculates), scutellatus,Sc\\ev., 

 Epeolns productus, Thorns., and Ccelioxys rufescens, Lep. The females of Pserc 

 equestris, Fab., were abundant, at Cobham on Daitcus carota flowers about the 15th, 

 together with SaZias exaltatus, Fab., oblttsinentris, Schiodte, pusillvs Schiodte, 

 parwlus, Dhlb., CraJro boi-mm, Lep., albilabri*, Fab., 6*-e»i*, v. d. Lind., and Cili.ua 

 leporina, Panz. A few hours' sunshine at Oxshott revealed the rare Pompilus 

 unicolor, Spin., bieolor, Lep , a huge" colony of Andrena argentata and Nomada 

 alboguttata, also Epeolus rufipes, Thorns., in abundance. On the way home the 

 scarce Prosopis cornuta, Sm., and dilatata, Kirb., were netted. I took Macropis 

 labiata, Fab., in some numbers at Beaulieu, in Hampshire, on the 24th, also Cihssa 

 hemorrhoid alls, Fab., and Andrena cetii, Schr., but not the Nomada argentata, 

 H.-S. On my return home at the end of the month, Calicurgus hyalinatus, Fab., 

 was taken in the garden. Most of the above were still on the wing during 

 September, the last capture of Gorytes bicinctus being on the 9th. My last entry 

 is Cerceris rybyensis, Linn., on October 12th, surely a very late date for this insect.

Sehirus morio, L., and luctuosus, 31. 2?. -Mr. E. A. Butler has written asking 

 me if our black species of Sehirus should not be referred to luctuosus, M. E., instead 

 of to morio, L. At first I thought he was certainly right, and wrote and said so, 

 but on looking again at my specimens I find I have two old ones, " ex coll. Kirby," 

 which are certainly referable to morio, whereas my more recent ones are clearly 

 luctuosus. Before turning morio out of our list, I should be glad if any one who 

 has specimens of our black species would examine them, and if they are larger than 

 usual, deep black, and have the membrane white, would let me have them to examine. 

 There is no indication of locality on Kirby's specimens, so that further evidence is 

 much wanted if we are to retain morio as a British species.— Edwahd Saunders, 

 St. Ann's, Woking : April \5th, 1908. 



A correction.— In the report of the meeting of the Entomological Society on 

 March 18th (p. 94), it was stated that the deciduous appendages to the mandibles 

 in the specimens of Otiorrhynchus tenebricosus, exhibited by Mr. Jennings on behalf 

 of Mr. Pool, were toothed. This, however, is a mistake, as these appendages in 

 this species as well as in Barynotus obscurus are simple.— F. B. Jennings, 152, 

 Silver Street, Upper Edmonton : April, 1908.

Francis C. Lemann.—Jt is with very great regret that we have to record the 

 death of Mr. Francis C. Lemann, after a short illness, from pneumonia following an 

 attack of influenza. Owing to the distance at which he lived from London, he was 

 probably not personally well known to many of the readers of this Magazine, or to 

 the members of the Entomological Society, which he joined in 1883. His name
