Some Records of Bees. — Some time ago I received a number of 

 bees from the Queensland Museum, without any information as to 

 collectors. Dr. J. Bequaert, to whom I mentioned the matter, at 

 once recognized from the localities the source of the collection. It 

 was sent out by E. Le Moult of Paris, who is at present advertising 

 insects for sale in American entomological journals. Dr. Bequaert 

 showed me a series of similar insects, from the same source, in his pos- 

 session. As many collectors doubtless possess materials from Le Moult, 

 and as the locality records are new, it may be worth while to record 

 the following. We are still without information as to the actual 

 collectors.
