liuniod visit to Europe a few years since. I liave here 

 attempted to fill in certain gaps wliicli were left by liim, 

 doubtless owin^ to lack of time ; thus, nothing much has 

 appeared on tlie Ethiopian species of Jhdictus and Somia, 

 tlie species of which, described by Frederick {Smith and uther 

 authors, are liere tabulated. 



Tlie notes on Boinhus have been gone through by 

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

 of them. 



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

An examination of Walker's type in the British Museum 

 proves this species is a Halictus. Biugbam suggests this in 

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

 t!ie 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 1, as is only natural, did not consider Walker's 

 species of JS^omia 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 

 ^omia.

Ill the British Museum there are four specimens from the 

 Cameron (.ollection 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- 

 ciaidus, (Smith. Tlie measurements given by Cameron 

 (3-5 mm.) point to the smaller s]ieciniens being the real
