NOTE. 



Since the remarks on the classification of Hymenoptera were written Mr. 

 W. H. Ashmead has published several important papers proposing a classi- 

 fication to a considerable extent new. He adopts 10 superfamilies and 94 

 families. His views are summarised in P. U. S. Mus. xxiii. No. 1206, 1900. 

 Pastor Konow has also discussed this subject in Ent. Nachr. xxiii. 1897, pp. 

 148-156.
