Most of the Neuroptera noted belonged to the Odonata, the only 

 others being Chrysopa sp. The Odonata were Libellula ^-maculata, 

 Sytnpetrum striolatum (teneral), S. sangiiineum{?,Q,^x\ov\y)^ Orthetriim 

 arncellatum (one male taken by Mr. Kemp), Lestes sponsa (abundant), 

 Anax imperator (seen only), Brachytron pratense (one), Agrion 

 piiella, Agrion piikheUum (a fairly good species), the local Ery- 

 thromma naias, Ischmcra elegans, and its var. rufescens of Stephens, 

 and Enallagma cyathigentm (at the smaller pond). Mr. South made 

 the interesting capture of a female Ischnura elegans flying off with 

 Crambus pasciiellus. 



Of Hymenoptera but two seem to have been taken away. These, 

 which were identified by Mr. A. H. Hamm, one of our members, 

 were a sawfly, AUantus viridis (Linn.), and one of the sand wasps 

 Ammophila sabulosa (Linn.), which provisions its nidus with lepidop- 

 terous larvae. 



The only dipteron captured for identification was Sarcophaga 

 carnaria, a large grey and black fly, one of the commonest of 

 British insects. The specimen taken seemed of rather striking size 

 as it alighted at the smaller pond. 



Mr. Kemp contributed a somewhat full list of Coleoptera, the 

 best species being distinguished by an asterisk : — Acupalpus meridi- 

 ani(s, Pcedents riparius''' (a few specimens), Homaloba scapi/laris* 

 (caught flying), Antherophagus nigricorfiis, Aphodius granariiis, Agrilus 

 angustuhis'^ (taken by Mr. Turner), Alelanotiis rufipes, Agriotes obsciiriis, 

 A. pallidulus, Afalthinus punctatus, Grammoptera tabacicolor, G. 

 riijicornis, Pachyta livida, Donacia clavipes (taken by Mr. Turner), 

 D. thalassina * (abundant on Wisley lake), Chrysomela polita, 

 Lnperus flavipes, Notoxus monoceros, Crepidodera transversa, C. 

 helxines, C. aurata, Psylliodes affinis, Ceuthorrhynchus melanostictiis, 

 PhyUobius argentatus, Thryogenes nereis, Otiorrhyncus siilcatus, 

 Xyleboriis dryophagus * (caught flying).
