The third part of the second volume of E,omer and 

 Schaudinn's ' Fauna Arctica ' has reached me to-day (Dec. 20, 

 1902). 'J'he first paper in this part is by Hans Kiaer, " Die 

 arktischen Tenthrediniden," which contains many East 

 Finmark records; but these will be found more fully given 

 in a paper by the same author, " Uebersicht der phytophagen 

 Hymenopteren des arktischen Norvvegens/' in ' Tromso 

 Museums Aarshefter,' vol. xix. 1898. 



The second paper is by H. Friese, " Die arktischen Hy- 

 menopteren mit Ausschluss der Tenthrediniden." This is 

 illustrated by a plate, which gives excellent coloured figures of 

 Bombidfe, including some of the species in Herr Schneider's 

 list here given, together with some notes by my friend on the 

 family. H. Friese gives the number of Hymenoptera (exclu- 

 sive of Tenthredinidaj) which are found in Arctic Norway 

 and Lapland as three hundred and eighty (including forty- 

 five Apid^j of which fifteen belong to Bombus), but there is 

 no separate information with respect to the East Finmark 

 species.
