94 NEW BRITISH BEES 



45. N. signata, J urine (Smith, Zoologist, ii. 602); not 

 uncommon some seasons around the Hampstead and High- 

 gate districts. 



46. N. Roberjeotiana, Panzer (Smith, Zoologist, ii. 603) ; 

 a very rare species, discovered at Blackwater, Hants; Mr. 

 Dale has also captured it, I believe in Hampshire. 



47. N. rubra, Smith; described in the Zoologist, vol. vii. 

 App. 41, from the unique specimen in the British Museum, 

 taken at Kingsbridge, Devon, by Dr. Leach. 



48. .A 7 , mistura, Smith (Zoologist, ix. App. 127); taken at 

 Newcastle by Mr. Hewitson ; I have since captured a specimen

49. N. atrata, Smith (Zoologist, iv. 1568); taken at 

 Arundel by Mr. S. Stevens ; it has not occurred elsewhere

 of the next species ; both will be described in my work on

53. C. mandibular is, Nylander; taken in the same loca- 

 lity as the former. 



54. C. umbrina, Smith (Zoologist, iii. 1153). This insect
