1. H. Pruni, Fabr. 



2. H. Arundinis, Fabr. 



I have described these as one species, and I believe that the Aphis 

 on Elymus Arundinis and on Salsola Kali, which I have named 

 A. Arundinis, is not the Arundinis of Fabricius. Passerini makes no 

 mention of Aphis Vitis among the Italian Aphididse, and his obser- 

 vation of the occurrence of H. Pruni on Vitis vinifera suggests the 

 probability that Pruni and Vitis are identical. 



3. H. tetrarhoda, Wlk.— Aquilegise, Koch. 



Genus 6. Toxoptera, Koch. 



Antennae seated on a short frontal tubercle. Cubital vein of the fore- 

 wings once forked. In other characters like Myzus. This genus has 

 not been recorded as British. 



A. Viviparous apterous female black or brown 1. Auranlii. 



AA. Viviparous apterous female bright green . . . . ' 2 . Graminum. 



1. T. Aurantii, Fonscolombe (Aphis Camelia;, Kaltenbach).— On 

 Citrus limonum, on C. Aurantius and Camelia Japonica.

Little Gull.— December 3. A wild and stormy day. Saw a little 

 gull this morning in the marsh near the Humber : it passed just out of 

 shot, and joined some brownheaded gulls feeding on the grass lauds. 

 \ found it impossible to get near it. 



Tree Sparrow.— Flocks of this species frequently observed during 

 the autumn and winter. I have for some years been on the look out 

 for the tree sparrow in this parish, but, previous to this season, have 

 not obtained specimens: indeed they seem very locally distributed 

 through this district. Unlike their domestic congeners they, as a rule, 

 shun the habitations of men, collecting in small flocks and feeding in
