Most of the above have been obtained by sweeping with a net 

 along the margins of streams, &c. The most productive time is about 

 sunset and for an hour after ; but I have taken some species (Hydro- 

 psychidae, &c.) in this way at all times of the day. 



Chrysopa flava. One specimen, beaten from an oak at West Wick- 

 ham; August 26. 



C. 7-punctata. One specimen, Kilburn ; August 15. 



Sisyra fuscata. Willesden, &c.; July and August. 



S. terminalis. Beaten from trees on the banks of the Thames 

 between Kew and Richmond, August 27. This species had, I believe, 

 been previously taken only at the Lakes of Killarney, Ireland, by 

 Mr. Curtis. 



Hemerobius Hurauli. Kilburn, Hampstead, &c. ; very common. 



H. micans. West Wickham ; by beating fir trees; August. 



H. nervosus, Kilburn and Hampstead ; common on fences, &c. ; 

 July. 



H. phaleratus. West Wickham, by beating fir trees ; August. 



Psocusbifasciatus, Cwri.? One specimen. West Wickham; August?. 



Cloeon diptera, Z. Hampstead ; August 3.
