species. I did not see any during 1880, though I looked for it 

 several times. The larva of T. punctulata is gre3'ish green, with 

 oblique grey stripes on the sides, which meet on the dorsal line. 

 When full-fed it changes to a dull pink colour, enters the earth for 

 its winter quarters without making any cocoon. Tenthredo gibhosa, 

 Fall., T. mesomela, L., and T. atra, L., I have captured in this loca- 

 lity; of T. gibhosa I took two specimens, and one each of the others. 

 Emiihytus cinctus, L., I find amongst briars. I have also taken 

 two examples of Emphytus perla, KL, which, Mr. Bridgman says, 

 is ver}' rare. I do not remember where I got them, but think I 

 beat the larvae out with others, as I found them in my room. Allantus 

 araiatus, Forst., and A. tricinctus, Fab., I found on the umbels 

 of Hcracieuin sphonclylium, six specimens of the first and three of 

 the second, in 1879. Eriocampa ovata, L., two examples amongst 

 alders in June ; Pacliyprotasis rapm, L., two examples ; Nematus 

 caprete, Panz., N. oniliaris, Panz., and N. hilineatus, KL, bred five 

 specimens of each, but did not take suf&cient care to separate 

 them so as to know their respective larvae ; Hemichroa alni, L., 

 and Selandria serva, Fab., three specimens; also two specimens 

 of what I take to be Selandria Jiavescens, Kl.; Dolerus cenchris, 

 Hart., four specimens amongst nettles ; D. palustris, KL, and 

 D. gonagej', Fab., one each. Monophadnus nigerrimus, KL, one 

 example. Athalia ros(S, L., two ; also three specimens of 

 Nematus myosotidis, Fab. Nematus viminalis, L. — This in- 

 teresting and possibly compound species lives, during its 

 larval existence, in pea- shaped and round galls mainly on 

 the under side of leaves of willows. I have met with it in 

 this locality on two or three bushes, the two different shaped 

 galls being on bushes very near each other. Whether the 

 bushes on which both galls were found are one species of willow, 

 or two distinct species, I cannot exactly sa}^ ; only this appears to 

 be certain, tliat the same insect is produced from both. The 

 perfect insect is black, with the legs and generative organs dull 

 yellow ; the stigma is pale grey, with a black line on its inner side 

 Lydajiaviventris, Retz. {= clypeata, Klug.) — I was fortunate in 

 obtaining a specimen of this species during the summer of 1879 

 amongst young currant trees. It was seated on one of the lower 

 leaves, and not having seen the species before, I speedily boxed it. 

 It is unnecessary for me to say more about it, as there is an 

 excellent translation of Vollenhoven's life-history at Entom xii.,
