Foenus jaculator, Ceratina albilabris, Anthophora iiidulans, 

 Borabus Pascuorum. Diptera: Paragus testaceus, B. femo- 

 ratus, Sphaerosphoria taeniata, Myopa bicolor, M. atra. 

 Heraipteia: Harpactor haeraorrhoidalis, Dryobius croaticus. 

 Harpactor occurs chiefly in the Mediterranean region, and is 

 the representative of a division of a land-bug tribe that 

 abounds in warm countries. The species have a great 

 variety of structure, but all agree in the characteristic of a 

 lancet-rhouth adapted for blood-drawing, whereby they con- 

 trol insect-life. The other land-bugs, with a iew exceptions, 

 derive their maintenance from vegetation. Three genera, 

 each having a single representative, appear in England, in 

 addition to the little species of Nabis, which seems to be 

 spread over most parts of the earth.

March 25, 1873. — Went to Llanferras, Denbighshire, on 

 "Pen-y-garra Win" and "Pant Moen;" took larvae of 

 Agrolis Ashworthii and cinerea amongst mixed herbage; 

 the latter seems to prefer Festuca ovina, feeding downwards
