 bushes on Durdham Downs, 1850. 

 3 Nej^ticula serico2)ezella, Z. = louisella, Sircom. These speci- 

 mens were all captured at Brislington, two by Vaughan and 

 the other by Sircom. 



19 N. tilice. Larvae of this species were found by Vaughan in Leigh 



Woods in 1859 mining in the leaves of Tilia parvifolia. 



For much of the above information I am indebted to Mr. 

 A. E. Hudd. F.E.S., and to his two excellent lists, " The Lepido})- 

 tera of the Bristol I)istrict," ' Proc. Bristol Naturalists' Society,' 

 and " The Lepidoptera of Somerset," ' Victoria County Historv.' 



Under the directorship of Mr. Herbert Bolton, M.Sc, F.K.S.E., 

 every department of the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery has of 

 late so grown and expanded that even its present large premises 

 are badly cramped for lack of space. Additional ground has 

 been acquiied for future extension, and it is to be hoped that 

 after the war the great collections of insects may be housed in a 

 manner suitable to the needs of the naturalists in the City of 

 Bristol, as well as worthy of their own intrinsic importance and 

 interest. 



AN ENTOMOGENOUS FUNGUS GEOWING FROM THE 

 COCOON OF A BRACONID. 



By G. T. Lyle, F.E.S. 



Most entomologists are acquainted with the fungus Cordi/ceps 

 milifaris which so often attacks pupae of Lepidoptera, but the 

 nearly-related species, of which 1 now give a figure, is apparently 

 but little known. 



In the autumn of 1915, while searching the underside of 

 oak leaves in the New Forest for pupae of Gracillana sivederella^
