90 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



cate with sloping sides ; rnesothorax dullish, minutely tessellate, hardly 

 punctured ; enclosure of metathorax roughened, scarcely at all de- 

 fined ; tegulae fuscous ; wings smoky hyaline, nervures and stigma 

 reddish brown, second submarginal cell broader at top than third ; 

 legs black, with shining pale brownish pubescence ; abdomen tessellate 

 and impimctate ; apical margins of segments 2 to 4 with thin white 

 hair-bands, very broadly interrupted on 2 and 3, and narrowly on 4 ; 

 apex with fnlvous pubescence. 



$ . Similar to the female. Face all black ; pubescence longer 

 and paler ; at apex of abdomen dull white ; abdomen not obviously 

 fasciate ; small joints of tarsi rufescent ; wings more yellowish ; 

 stigma dull amber-colour with a dark margin. 



Hah. Olympia, Washington (T. Kincaid). May 9th to 25th. 

 This little species has the aspect of A. zizice, and illinoensis, but 

 has none of the greenish colour of these species. Provancher's 

 A. vestita, described only in the male, must be very similar to 

 melanochroa, but will be known by the somewhat smaller size 

 and the ferruginous-red tarsi. 



Andrena macgillivrayi, Ckll. 



Mr. Kincaid sends two females from Washington State, one 

 from Seattle, May 11th, the other Olyrnpia, June 2nd. The 

 Washington form is a little larger (long. 11-12 mm.) than the 

 type, the stigma is somewhat darker, and the face is a trifle 

 broader. All the essential specific characters are the same as in 

 the New York (Ithaca) type.

TORTKICES OCCURRING IN THE VICINITY OF THE 

 CHE SHAM LINE. 



Although there are a good many species to be obtained even 

 in the neighbourhood of the stations between the Baker Street 

 terminus and Willesden Green, it is not until we get beyond the 

 latter and well into the country that we need think of alighting 

 in quest of Tortrices. There are, however, some very decent 

 species to be found in the neighbourhood of Kingsbury and 

 Neasden Station, and a few hours may be pleasantly and 

 profitably spent in a ramble around, especially if we turn in the 

 direction of the Brent and Kingsbury old church. Harrow and 

 Pinner have each something to offer, but we shall do better at 

 Northwood, and it is this locality and the country around Chal- 

 font Koad that I have most frequently collected in. The latter 

 is on the chalk and well wooded. Although Mill Hill on the 

 Midland system does not properly belong to the district more 

 immediately under consideration, I have included it because it
