Hemiptera. 



Eusarcocoris melanocephalus (about six specimens), Anthocoris sylves- 

 tris, Le[^tipterna dolobrata, Calocoris fulvomacidatus, C. bipitndatus, 

 Oncognathus bi?iotatiis, Lygiis pratensis, Rhopalotomiis ater, Cyllocoris 

 histrionicus, Hetero-ordylus tibialis, Psallus varians, Ctxius pilosus, 

 C. nervosus, Aphrophora alni ; and Mr. Kemp took a specimen of 

 Ranatra linearis at Ockham Common. 



Mr. Lucas took at Falcon Bridge a large Trichopteron, and also 

 some large Myriapoda of genus Lithobius, apparently of two species. 



The shells, "found chiefly near Falcon Bridge by Mr. Lucas and 

 Mr. Adkin, junior, were several species of Zonites, including appa- 

 rently Z. cellarius, Z. glaber, Z. nitididns, Z. crystallinus, and perhaps 

 Z. alliarius. Helix pomatia, H. aspersa, H. hortensis, H. cantiana, 

 H. ri/fescens, H. hispida (probably), B. caperata, H. roiundata, 

 together with var. alba, Bulimus obscurus, Clausilia riigosa, C. rol- 

 phii, C. laminata, Codilicopa hibrica, and Cyclostoma elegans. In 

 some cases dead specimens only were found. 



Fhnvers in blossom were numerous, and many were interesting ; 

 among the latter may be noted Ophrys apifera (the bee orchis), perhaps 

 the most striking of the orchids that can be said to be common; Listera 

 ovata (twayblade) ; Reseda hdea (wild mignonette), scentless, unfor- 

 tunately, in a chalk-pit and elsewhere ; Galium crudatiim (crosswort 

 bedstraw), in chalk-pit ; Valeriana officinalis (great valerian) ; Melam- 

 pyt'iim pratense (yellow cow^-wheat) ; Heliantheimim vidgare (common 

 rock-rose), one of the richest tinted of our many yellow^ flowers ; An- 

 ihyllis vidneraria (kidney vetch), of which the downy calyces form 

 so striking a feature ; Campanida tradielinm (nettle-leaved bell- 

 flower), not yet fully out ; and C. glomerata (clustered bell-flower). 

 Some of the party said this was a gentian, but it appears as a Cam- 

 t>anida in the London Catalogue, 9th edition, 1895.
