ground is on the banks of the river, and we found the Alf side the 

 most productive^ being that of which the aspect is not suited to the 

 nearly ubiquitous vineyards, and having grassy slopes covered with a 

 vast luxuriance of wild flowers. At BuUay we stayed until August 

 2nd at the '' Gasthof Marienburg," which we found clean, comfortable, 

 and moderate, and can recommend. These introductory remarks are 

 disproportionately long in comparison with the entomological results 

 of the excursion, but as there are a few interesting species, and one 

 (a Perla) especially so, it appears to me desirable to place on record 

 a portion of what we did find, and more especially as nothing, or next 

 to nothing, has been published for the places visited, so far as Neurop- 

 tera are concerned. The list might have been made considerably 

 longer, but wishing to minimize luggage, I had a store box with me 

 of the most modest dimensions, so that many universally common 

 species were not brought home, and in some cases their names are 

 now forgotten. 



Geeolstein, in the Ktllthal (Eipel). 

 Teichopteba. 



Lininophilus extricatus, McLacli. 



Sericostoma turbatum, McLach. CEcismus monedula, Hag. (near Lissingen). 

 Qoera pilosa, P. Oligoplectrum maculatum, Foui'c. (in profusion on the Kyll). 

 Lepidostoma hirtum, F. 



Odontocerum albicorne, Scop. Leptocerus cinereus, Curt. 



Hydropsyche saxonica, McLach. ; H. instabilis, Curt. ? ( ? only) ; S. lepida, 

 Pict. Wormaldia subnigra, McLach.? ($ only). Polycentropus ftavomaculatus, 

 Pict. Cyrnus trimaculatus, Curt. Lype phaopa, Staph. ? (? only). 



Rhyacophila dorsalis, Curt, (the only species seen). 



Hydroptila forcipata, Eaton. 



Planipennia. 



Panorpa communis, L., var. (Amongst the herbage on the sides of the Kyll a 

 Panorpa was abundant, which at the time I considered P. germanica, L., and, 

 therefore, only brought home one <J for the sake of the locality. This example is 

 structurally P. communis, but of a form that I have not seen before, very small, and 

 with the markings brown instead of black, disposed as in some specimens of ger- 

 manica. It is to me now a matter of I'egret that I did not capture more). 



Osmylus chrysops, L. (abundant). Sisyra fuscata, F. 



Hemerobius humuli, Ij.? ($ only). Megalomus hirtus, L. (one). 



Chrysopa phyllochroma, Wesm. (Gerolsteinerwald) ; Ch. T-punctata, Wesm. 

 (one) ; Ch. prasina, Burm. {aspersa, Wesm.) ; Ch. ventralis. Curt, (two) ; Ch. 

 Ilavifrons, Br. (one) ; Ch. tenella, Schnd. (very abundant, over forty taken, very 

 variable in size) ; Ch. alba, L. (one) ; Ch. vulgaris, Schnd. (a few). With one 

 exception (already noticed) the Chrysopce were beaten from lime trees (Tilia) in 

 full bloom by the road sides.
