Hymenoptera.— In this order the most noticeable and at 

 the same time the most abundant species was without doubt 

 the common wasp {Vespa vulgaris L.). An arm of a large tree 

 in Cannon Hall Park, from which the extreme end had been 

 broken, had been utilised for nesting purposes. The whole 

 of the branch, some twelve feet in length, and part of the trunk 

 itself, were fully occupied, and presented a scene of admirable 

 activity. Wherever a little water had been collected in the 

 numerous depressions in the clayey soil, and on the large umbels 

 of the Angelica and Cow Parsley, which in Deffer Wood were 

 fine and extremely abundant, wasps were present in numbers. 

 Since 1893 I have not seen so many in one day's outing. At 

 the same time wasps do not appear to be specially plentiful 

 elsewhere in the Barnsley district. Bombi were also much in 

 evidence, and a specimen of Odynerus parietum was observed. 



Arachnida. — Mr. Wm. Falconer reports that Mr. W. P. 

 Winter and himself, the only members of the party interested 

 in the Arachnida, found the route followed a most excellent 

 one, leading as it did through an ideal woodland district. 

 Spider-collecting, however, requires much closer application over 

 a more restricted area than they were able to give, owing to 

 the distance traversed, so that only a very imperfect investiga- 

 tion was possible. Search was practically confined to the 

 first portion of the route, time not permitting any work to be 

 done in the Cawthorn Park Wood. Beside the ponds in Cannon 

 Park, Lycosa amentata Clerck and two species of (Edothorax 

 [Gongylidium) fnscns Bl. and retusns W'estr. swarmed, and from 

 beneath the rugged bark of the adjacent sycamore trees, one 

 male Epeira umhratica Clerck (new to the West Riding), many 

 examples of Segestria senocnlata Linn., Amaurohins fenestralis 

 Stroem, and a few Styloctetor penicillatus Westr. and Clubiona
