Ckll., A. geranii, Eob., A. claytonice, Eob., ^. say, Eob., and 

 also an Hdlictus which might heforbesi, Eob., but for its dark 

 wings. 



This list shows that the Baldwin bee-fauna is essentially the 

 same as that of Southern Illinois. There are two western 

 types only : Andrena salicineUa, hitherto only known from 

 'New Mexico, and the Protandrena, a Kansas species of a west- 

 ern genus. It is to be remarked that Mr. Baldwin sends both 

 »exe» of Protandrena eockerelU, the species being hitherto known 

 only by a single 9 from Topeka. The J^ is practically iden- 

 tical with that of P. asclepiadis, Ckll., of which the is 9 un- 

 known ; but it does not necessarily follow that cockerelH is a 

 synonym of asclepiadis, since mexicanorum, the 9 of which is 

 quite distinct from cocker elli, has also a nearly identical j». 

 It is worth while to remark that Andrena claytoniw is so like 



A. hippotes that they would certainly be confused by one not 

 specially looking for the differential marks, the best of which 

 is in the shape of the process of the labrum. 



From ^Northwestern Kansas we have a list of bees collected 

 by Dr. Williston, and recorded by Mr. Patton in Bull. U. S. 

 Geol. Surv., Vol. V. The species are GoUetes armata, Patt., 

 Augochlora humeraUs, Patt., Nomia nortoni. Cress., Halictus 

 parallelus. Say (occidentalis. Cress.), CalUopsis color adensis. 

 Cress., Epeolus occidentalis. Cress., Nomada texana. Cress., Bom- 

 hus pennsylvanicus, Deg., B. scutellaris. Cress. This is a mix- 

 ture of Eastern and Colorado types. 



From Barber county, in Southern (Central Kansas, border- 

 ing on Oklahoma, we have a list of species collected by Prof. 

 Cragin, published in Bull. Washburn College Lab. of Nat. 

 Hist. (1885). The species are Bombus pennsylvanicus, Deg., 



B. scutellaris. Cress., Anthophora occidentalis, Cress., A. smithii, 

 Cress., Synhalonia albata. Cress., Melissodes menuacha, CrGB8., 

 M. atripes, Cress., Gentris lanosa, Cress., Melecta inter rupta. 

 Cress., Nomia nortoni, Cress., Agapostemon radiatm. Say (tri- 



, color Lep.), Augochlora viridula, Sm. (lucidula, Sm.), Pseudo- 

 panurgus cethiops, Cress. 



This list is very diiferent from the others, and nearly agrees 

 with the fauna of Central Texas. The Gentris is quite a Mexi 

 can type. There are other Kansas bee-records, but without 

 precise localities, so it is not worth while to enumerate them.
