124 THE ENTOMOJLOGIST's KECORD. 



Time. — 10.44. Sex. — $ . Food. — Unidentified. 



Time.— 10.45. Sex.— <?. 



Food. — Insects and larvae, including what looked like a large 

 Geometer moth of grey colour. 



[Note. — In this connection I might mention that a specimen of 

 Boarmia repandata was resting high up on a lime {Tilia europaea) on 

 the underside of a considerable limb, about 15 feet from the ground, 

 at 8.30 a.m. I went to examine this insect at 12.30 p.m. and it had 

 gone. The tree was about 120 yards, or perhaps 180 yards W. i N. 

 of the nest. It is impossible to say this was the insect, but it is an 

 explanation that would fit the known facts.]

Food. — " Some very small food." This i;-^ my note, but I am not 

 able now to remember what I meant by it, but I think it meant visible 

 and not regurgigated food. 



Here follow six visits to the nest with food unidentified, followed 

 by a visit by the S^ , who put his head right into the nesting hole, and 

 another two minutes later when he fed by regurgitation. 



Time.— 11.36. Sex.— $ . 



Food. — " Very small food." See above. 



Time.— 11.40. Skx.— 5 . 



Food. — Two larvae of Taeniucampa stahiUs, they were carried at the 

 base of the mandibles and passed to the young with the tongue ; both 

 given to the same nestling. 



Time.— 11.43. Sex.— $ . 



Food. — Three or four larvae of Cheimatohia brumata. 



Time.— 11.50. Sex.— a^ . 



Food. — A great number of very small insects that I was unable to 

 identify. 



Time.— 11.55. Sex.— <y . 



Food. — Several larvae, and at least one Tep/iroHia punctularia. The 

 sun now threw the nest into deep shadow and I left to do some col- 

 lecting. I came back later, about 4 p.m., and photographed the locality 

 to show the hiding tent, when the S settled in a bough close to me 

 (about 10 to 12 feet) with four fair-sized Geometer moths in his bill.
