Mr. J. W. Slioebotliam's Notes on CoUemhola. 67 



species liave not been met witli in England," and inclules 

 Orchesella riifescens, and on p. 135 he says " I have not yet 

 met witli it in Enghuid," though he remarks that he had 

 found it very common in woods in Switzerhmd (which he 

 visited in 1869). 



Lubbock seems to have maintained this view, because in a 

 note in Proc. Ent. 8oc. for 1879, p. 44, it is recorded that 

 " Sir Jolin Lubbock exhibited a specimen of Orcliesella 

 rufescens taken in Kent, being a species of Collemboha new 

 to'Great Britain." 



It is difficult to reconcile these statements^ but I can only 

 suppose tiiat Lubbock had overlooked his specimens and 

 record of 1862 when he publi-ihed his Monograph eleven 

 years hiter. 



The following are the English records of Orche^ella Jlaves- 

 cens = n/ftscens : — 



Lubbock (1862), p. 592.— England. 



(1880), p. 41.— Kent. 

 Bagnall (1908), p. 82.— Delamere Forest, Cheshire. 

 \, (1909), p. 504.— „ 



To these I am able to add the following, collected by 

 myself : — 



Froghall, Staffs. — One specimen, ix. 1909. 

 Berkhamsted, Herts. — Three specimens, ii. 1911. 

 Ashley Green, Bucks. — Four specimens, iii. 1911. 



I do not know of any other records for the British Isles.
