HYMENOPTERA 



The lists of the Cephidae, Tenthredinidae, Siricidae, Ichneumonidae and Chrysididae are 

 due to Mr. Hamm, who has been assisted with names by the Rev. F. D. Morice and Mr. Claude 

 Morley. Mr. Hamm is also responsible for the compilation of the Aculeata lists, in which he 

 has been largely helped by Mr. W. Barnes, who has drawn up a very good list from the Reading 

 district. Mrs. Cope (formerly Miss Thoyts) has contributed a good list from Sulhamstead, 

 and Mr. L. Young a useful list from Bradfield. Mr. Harwood has also recorded a few species 

 from the Maidenhead district; and we are greatly indebted to Mr. E. Saunders, F.R.S., for 

 his kindness in naming and verifying many doubtful species in this group.
