NOTES ON BRITISH ORTHOPTERA IN 1910.

Forficulodea. — On August 10th I visited one of the localities 

 for Lahidura riparia on the shore in the Bournemouth district, 

 accompanied by Mr. J. J. F. X. King, who wished to see the 

 insect at home. The earwigs seemed to be scarce on that 

 occasion, and we secured only four between us — two rather 

 small male imagines, a female imago, and a very small nymph. 

 One of the males had lost a wing, or at any rate the exposed

 A very large va.r.forcipata was taken on July 26th, by Mr. P. M. 

 Bright, on the cliffs at Freshwater, in the Isle of Wight, and 

 given to Mr. King. The length of the insect was 25 milHmeters, 

 10 mm. of which were due to the callipers. These were so long 

 that Mr. King at first took the insect for a specimen of Labidura 

 riparia, which has been reported from the island, though I 

 believe it is a long time since it has been found there. When the 

 earwig was etherised, two dipterous larvae belonging to the Muscidae 

 emerged, each about 6*25 millimeters in length. As I had not a 

 lens with me in the New Forest suitable for making an enlarged
