224 FIRST APPEARANCES OF BIRDS, INSECTS, ETC. 



The idea, now hastily acted upon, finds me with only 

 inadequate data to begin with ; yet with, at least, the inten- 

 tion of trying to make such data of more value in the future, 

 when I hope that other Orders may be listed. I confine myself 

 to species noted by me in Winfrith and its neighbour- 

 hood. 



COLLEMBOLA : Symnthurus fuscus, De G., moist 

 places in woods ; 8. luteus, Lub., grassy places ; 8. bourletii, 

 Gerv., grassy places ; Orchesella cincta, L., amongst herbage ; 

 0. villosa, Geof. ; Tomocerus longicornis, Mull., amongst 

 herbage ; T. plumbeus, L. ; T. niger, Bour., under wood ; 

 Lepidocyrtus lignorum, Fabr. ; Degeeria nivalis, L. ; leotoma 

 palustris, Bour. ; Podura aquatica, L., on pools. 



THY8ANURA : Lepisma saccharina, L. ; Machilis 

 polypoda, L. ; M. maritima, Leach, on the coast. 



ORTHOPTERA: Forficula auricularia, L. ; Ectobia 

 panzeri, Steph., very common on the heaths and near the 

 coast ; E. livida, Fabr., another common heathland and coast 

 species ; Oryllotalpa gryllotalpa, L., seems not uncommon, at 

 least locally, in the county. I know that it has occurred 

 among potatoes, at Moreton, and it has been found in autumn, 

 in both the nymph and perfect state, among horse manure, in 

 my garden, at Winfrith, evidently hibernating, in successive 

 years. Qryllus domesticus, L., appears to have become rarer, 

 and has disappeared from our house, where some years ago 

 it occurred. O. campestris does not seem to occur at Winfrith, 

 nor have I met Nemobius sylvestris, F., in this neighbour- 

 hood. Leptophyes punctatissima, B. d'A., in the woods; 

 Xiphidium dor sale, Latr., Arne and Bloxworth ; Locusta 

 wridissima, L., very common at Ringstead, among coarse 

 vegetation and along this coast. I have not myself met 

 with it inland. Olynthoscelis cinereus, L., common in bushes. 

 Platycelis grisea, Fab., common on the coast, both on chalk 

 and heathland. P. brachypterus, L. t common in various
