liunied visit to Europe a few years since. I have liere 

 attempted to fill in certain gajDs which were left by him, 

 doubtless owing to lack of time ; thus, nothing- much has 

 appeared on the Ethiopian species of Halictus and Nomia, 

 the species of which, described by Frederick Smith and otiier 

 authors, are here tabulated. 



The notes on Bomhus have been gone through by 

 Dr. Franklin, of Massachusetts, who may make further use 

 of them. 



The types of all new species are in the British Museum.

An examination of Walker's type in the British Museum 

 proves this species is a Halictus. Bingham suggests this iu 

 the 'Fauna of India,' but does not seem to have examined 

 the type, which was among the rest of Walker's Cingalese 

 types in a separate cabinet apart from the main general 

 collection, and thus likely to be overlooked by students. 

 Cockerel), as is only natural, did not consider Walker's 

 species of Nomia when studying the Indian and Cingalese 

 Halictus of the Comber Collection. It has already been 

 shown by Cockerell (Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. xxxvii. p. 218, 

 1911) that Andrena exagens, Walker, also from Ceylon, is a 

 Nonda.

In the British Museum there are four specimens from the 

 Cameron (yollection labelled as " types " of H, atroviridis by 

 Cameron himself, and two species certainly are represented. 

 One individual of 8^ mm. in length is nothing but H. ju- 

 cundus, Smith. The measurements given by Cameron 

 (3-5 mm.) point to the smaller specimens being the real
