THE PSOCID^ OF NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. 



By J. W. Carr, M.A., F.L.S., F.G.S. 



While collecting Hemiptera during the last two summers a 

 good many Psocids were obtained, and as no members of this 

 family have hitherto been recorded for Nottinghamshire, a list 

 of the species captured may be of some use as a contribution to 

 our knowledge of the distribution in Britain of these delicate 

 and interesting little insects. I am indebted to Mr. Kenneth 

 J. Morton for bis kindness in examining and identifying all my 

 captures.
