186 [ J " ne - 



Labia minor. — There are twelve (5-16) specimens (7 $ and 5 ? ) ; hut 

 being- unlabelled, they are without interest. 



Forficula auricularia is represented by no less than thirty-six examples, 

 the first three being named, var. infumata. (No. 17) is an unlabelled nymph, 

 (18) is a female, apparently from " N. TJist" (C. W. D's writ.), and (19) is a 

 female labelled " Fishall (?) July, 1877 " (C. W. D's writ.) The next two (21 1, 2 1 ) 

 are named var. neglecta ; but they are what are usually styled forcipata. (20) 

 is a male from Glanvilles Wootton (printed label), (21) pinned and having 

 spread wings is from Eltham (?). There follow three named forcipata. (22) 

 and (24) are unlabelled males, (23) is a male with two labels — the former 

 " July (printed) 37 (J. C. D's writ.)/' the second "Milton Wood" (J. C. D's 

 writ, in red ink). (25-29) are named var. borealis. A female (25) is labelled 

 "Loch (sic) Swilly, Donegal, J. L.," a ? (26) and two males (27. 28) are un- 

 labelled. (29) on card with wings spread, bears two labels "May 18 (printed) 

 37 " (J. C. D's writ.) and " Portland 1843 " (J. C. D's writ.). The discrepancy as 

 regards date will be noticed. The next six are named var. arenosus. (30) and 

 (31) are unlabelled males, and (32), a male, has nothing more than a small 

 blank green label. The next specimen, a female (33), is marked <?-$. but 

 there is no sign of hermaphroditism; another label gives " White Sand Bay, 

 Aug. 1864" (J. C. D's writ.). No. 34 is a male without data. No. 35, a female, 

 has a blank green label, and a second one (printed) " White Sand Bay." The 

 next three, all males, are styled var. media; 36 and 37 are without data, but 

 the latter is a specimen of Forficula lesnei; 38 is labelled "und. stones Green 

 Wall Spring 1860" (J. C. D's writ.). The rest are not assigned a varietal 

 name. A male (39) and a female (44) are from "Dover" (J. C. D's writ.). 

 No. 40, a male, has twisted callipers and bears a printed number " 565." No. II 

 bears the sign $ - $ , and, judging by the callipers may perhaps be a herma- 

 phrodite. The next specimen (42), a male, beai's two labels — " Aug. 18 

 (printed) 25" (J. C. D's writ.) and on the second " 1055." Nos: (43) ? , ( 15) g 

 (46) $ (47) 6* (48) ? (51) ? (52) $ are all without data. Two females (49) and 

 (50) are labelled" Oct. 66" (J. C. D's. writ.). The last eight (45-52) are carded 

 and have their wings spread. 



Forficula lesnei. — There are twelve specimens of this interesting species 

 under their true name, while a thirteenth (No. 37 above) appears under P. a u rim. 

 laria. The first (53), a male, has a blank red label, and a second bearing " Sep. 

 28, 1837." Three males (54, 56, 60) and a female (64) are without data. No. 55 

 is labelled "Gl. Wootton, Nov. 11/60" (J. C. D's writ.) and has a printed label 

 also " Nov. 14, 1860" (the 14 and the being filled in in J. C. D's writ.). Three 

 males (57, 59, 62) and a female (61) are from " Weymouth, Sept. 23, 1889 " 

 (C. W. D's writ.). Two females (58 and 63) are labelled "I. of W. " (J. C. D's 

 writ.). 



Apterygida albipennis is represented by three specimens — a male (65) 

 "Charing, Sept. 17, 1904" (C. W. D's writ.), a female (66) unlabelled, and a 

 female (67) "Charing, Kent, Sept. 17, 1904" (C. W. D's writ.). 



Apterygida arachidis. — There are three examples all bearing labels in 

 C. W. D's handwriting. They are — a male (68) " Queenborough, J. J. Walker,"
