For these particulars I am indebted to the kindness of 

 Mr. Verrall. 



Three species of Hemiptera have been brought forward 

 during the year to enrich our Fauna : Dryinus confusns, from 

 Dorsetshire, and Salda sdulosa, from Hampshire, both re- 

 corded by Mr. E. A. Butler ("E. M. M.," 1904, p. 275) ; 

 Ripersia citropcca, first taken by Mr. Tomlin near Swanage, 

 in the nests oi Formica tufa (" E. M. M.," 1904, p. 282). 



We have four new species of H3anenoptera recorded 

 during the year : 



Crabro styrins, taken as far back as 1894 at Shiere and 

 other places. 



Haltctus semipnnctalatus, taken at Lyme Regis in 1903. 

 Both these are recorded by Mr. Saunders in " E. M. M.," 

 1904, p. 10. 



Halidits fulvicornis, separated from H. subfasciatus by 

 Mr. Saunders (" E. M. M.," 1904, p. 250). 



Rhadinocercca micans, hitherto confused with other species, 

 is separated by Rev. F. D. Morice (" E. M. M.," 1904, 

 p. 100). 



Mr. Morley describes (" E. M. M.," p. 37) for the first 

 time the male of the ichneumon, Barichncumon heracleancE. 



Two Trichoptera, OxyetJiira mirabilis, a species new to 

 science, and 0. sagittifera, new to Britain, were taken at 

 Rannock by Mr. Kennith Morton, to whose kindness I am 

 indebted for these particulars. 



I have received much assistance in drawing up these 

 faunistic notes from the following gentlemen, besides those 

 already mentioned : Messrs. W. L. Distant, W. F. Kirby, 

 E. A. Smith, H. St. J. K. Donisthorpe, and A. H. Hamm, 

 to all of whom I tender my best thanks. 



I am sorry that in Lepidoptera we have nothing new to 

 record ; let us hope we shall be able to discover some new 

 species during the coming season. 



The year has been perhaps remarkable on account of the 

 great number of specimens of Phryxus {Deilephila) livornica 

 which have been captured. It compares in this way with 

 the year i860, which was also a livornica year, and curiously, 

 too, in that year a specimen of Gonepteryce rhamni resembling 

 G. Cleopatra was taken near Rotherham. This year Mr. Lucas 

 ("Entom.," p. 240) records a similar specimen as reared 

 from a larva taken by Mr. Weir. 



In Mr. Claude Morley' s I chncumonologia Britannica we have 

 a volume which as far as Great Britain is concerned breaks 

 entirely new ground. It is a comfort to know that we can
