Biological Notes on some Kansas Hymenoptera. 
By H. B. HuNcERForD and Francis X. WILtLIAMs, University 
of Kansas. 
(Plates XIV, XV, XVI) 
This paper is based on the collection and field observations 
made by the authors on the Kansas University Biological Sur- 
vey to Northwestern Kansas during the summer of 1910. 
During the time that we were in the field (June. 16 to. Sep- 
tember 3) a large number of Hymenoptera and other insects 
were collected, and some interesting notes made on the biology 
of a few species, particularly on the Fossores (Digger wasps), 
and the Diplopteryga in the Solitary wasps. 
Some of the observations are very fragmentary, and have 
been noted heretofore and published ; others we believe are ad- 
ditions to science. We hope that the results of our observa- 
tions will encourage students to pay more attention to this fas- 
cinating branch of entomology. 
The Great Plains as represented in Northwestern Kansas, 
though meager in some groups of insects, have a good repre-
