Hymenoptera aculeata from Majorca and Spain. 595 
localities in the island. At one point where a moun- 
tain stream formed a deep pool in a narrow rocky gorge, a 
species of Notonecta abounded in the water. Many an 
interesting and favourable locality made us regret that it 
was necessary to reach Lluch that night. We were kindly 
received, according to the hospitable traditions of the old- 
world monastic building, at the Colegio de Lluch. 
July 6.—Before starting by the bridle-pati for Pollensa 
we worked for about an hour in the broad valley near 
the building, and judging from this limited experience the 
locality appeared to provide better all-round collecting 
than any other place visited by us in the island. 
When within a few miles of the ancient town a good 
deal of work was done in some flowery fields beside a 
stream. We arrived in time to visit Monte Sentuiri—a 
steep isolated hill which I had explored in 1900. 
July 7.—This day was occupied in a walk to and from 
the Castillo del Rey. Many opportunities for good 
collecting were found in favourable spots by the path 
through the woods and here and there in the broad open 
valley beyond. Some of the mountain slopes near the 
ruined castle were clothed in a long coarse grass, all the 
more noticeable because of its scarcity in other places. 
Hopes, not destined to be fulfilled, were raised of the 
capture of Erebias. 
July 8.—The day was occupied in a visit to the Port of 
Pollensa and in collecting on the low marshy ground, the 
Little Albufera, which borders the bay. Odonata were 
abundant by the irrigation ditches, and the flowers 
yielded a good harvest of insects. Much work was done 
in favourable spots by the side of the hot white road 
between Pollensa and its Port. 
July 9.—The results of the 8th were so favourable, and 
the locality so different from any other we had visited, that 
it was determined to spend the last day at Pollensa at the 
Little Albufera. Much road-side collecting was done as on 
the 8th. 
July 10.—We took the diligence to La Puebla and the 
train thence to Palma, arriving in time to spend the after- 
noon at Bellver Castle and the cliffs beyond Porto Pi as 
far as the 6th kilometre on the coast road, going over the 
ground explored on June 27. 
July 11—Up to this date there had been nothing buat 
bright hot sun and cloudless skies. The change came on
