 a common garden species everywhere. Anticlea simafa, Hb., s is a very 

 scarce species in Surrey, but Mr. Webb says that he has taken specimens 



1 This local species is unknown to me in Surrey. I have received it from Herefordshire. H. G. 



* This rather rare species is not uncommon in the Prince's Covers near Claygate. H. G. 



8 Tolerably common amongst fir trees in Sir Lucas Pepys' wood, and by the side of Headley Lane 

 near Mickleham. H. G. 



* E. togata has been recorded from Surrey, but with the exception of one specimen taken by Mr. 

 Sydney Webb near Buckland Hill I know of no captures in the county. H. G. 



6 In my experience this species is almost confined to south-east Cambridgeshire and the neighbour- 

 hood of Barton Mills, Mildenhall, Tuddenham and other parts of west Suffolk. H. G.
