BEES FROM THE HIMALAYA MOUNTAINS. 

 By T. D. a. Cockekell. 



In this Journal, Sept. 1910, I gave an account of some bees 

 collected high up in the Himalayas by the British Tibet 

 Expedition. I am indebted to Mr. G. Meade-Waldo for an 

 opportunity to examine other bees from this Expedition, which 

 are now recorded. 



Bombus bizonatus, Smith. 



? . Khamba Jong, Sikkim, 15-16,000 ft., July 15th to 

 30th, 1903. 



Bombus ivaltoni, Cockerell. 



Mr. A. Skorikow writes me expressing the opinion that 

 B. ivalt07ii is identical with his B. mendax subsp. chinensis, the 

 latter having about ten months' priority. If so, waltoni never- 

 theless stands, as there is a different chinensis, Dalla Torre, 

 1890. The description of chinensis, Skor. is wholly in Russian, 

 but my friend Mr. E. Kaydin has been good enough to translate 

 it for me. It certainly applies well to ivaltoni, except that in 

 ivaltoni the red hair on the abdomen begins on the apical part of 

 the second segment, whereas in chinensis the third segment has a 

 sprinkling of reddish hair, and the full red only begins on the 

 fourth. This difference may be only varietal.
