HEMIPTERA HETEROPTERA 



In compiling the following list I have been much indebted to the 

 Rev. J. H. Bloom, M.A., of Whitchurch Rectory, for his kindness in 

 sending me his records of insects from that district, which he informs 

 me were named by the British Museum authorities. 



The records of the late Mr. W. G. Blatch have been taken from 

 his collection, which is now in my possession. 



The records are my own where not otherwise stated. 



I am also grateful to Mr. Edward Saunders, F.L.S., F.E.S., for his 

 assistance, and I have followed the nomenclature of his Catalogue of 

 British Hemiptera, dated 1890. 



The list is not a very comprehensive one, and, unfortunately, 

 comparatively little work has been done in this order in the district. 

 There is much room for additions, and I have little doubt that assiduous 

 workers could soon enlarge our list of species and records.
