of Coccinellas, of Musce also, particularly of the 
spotted-wing sort, Cardui and Cerasi, &c. Ich- 
neumons a great many, particularly J. sarcetorws. 
Bees, several new ones, one very specious indeed, 
with ared thorax and blue abdomen, fasciated with 
white. Spheres not a few. A new Chrysis or two. 
Some new Carabi, besides some of the Linnzan 
beauties. All the new ones which we took I de-

between fifty and a hundred. Some were drawn 
on the spot by Curtis’s draughtsman. 
Of plants, we found in many places Lepidium ru- 
derale, and particularly all along the Essex coast, 
on the sea marshes, Hudson’s Dactylis cynosurot- 
des. Wudson’s Poa loliacea, his Lolium bromoides, 
Salsola fruticosa, Brassica campestris, Atriplex la- 
cimiata and serrata, Chara flexilis, Ruppia maritima, 
Agilopsincurva, Bunias Cakile ;—cum multis alis.

worth at your return. A thousand thanks for your 
Agrostis minima. I shall be much obliged to you

O. egyptiacum or syriacum, do be so good as to 
have very correct drawings made of both or either 
of.them for me.
