The following were recorded by the observers, and for the localities stated.- 



Sickmann (Osnabrtick), the fossorial wasp Mellinus arvensis Z. Verhc 

 (Norderney), 2 hover-flies (Melithreptus menthastri Z. 5, and Syrphus ribesii Z. 5) 

 von Dalla Torre (Innsbruck Botanic Garden), the bee Halictus leucozonius Schr. 

 MacLeod (Flanders), 3 humble-bees, 2 sp. of Halictus, 6 hover-flies, and 3 Lepidoptera 

 (Bot. Jaarb. Dodonaea, Ghent, v, 1893, P- 4 2 9) Scott-Elliot (Dumfriesshire), 

 humble-bees, numerous bees and flies (' Flora of Dumfriesshire,' p. 102). 



1612. L. hastilis L. (Kirchner, 'Flora v. Stuttgart,' p. 735.) Kirchnt 

 states that the heads of this species contain from 40 to over 80 florets, anc 

 spread out in the forenoon in sunny weather into a golden-yellow disk of 20-25 mm. 

 broad. The corolla-tube is 4-6 mm. and the ligule 8-12 mm. long. The anther- 

 cylinder projects 3-4 mm. from the corolla-tube, and the style extends 4-5 mm. 

 further. The stylar branches are 2 mm. long, and finally roll back to form a spira 

 of 1^ turns. Warnstorf describes the pollen-grains as pure yellow in colour, 

 polyhedral, and spinose, measuring about 37-5 /a in diameter.
