OE THE ISLAND OE ST. VINCENT. 57 



"Walker, have been refound. A few of the old Fabrician species 

 have also been recognized, while a number of forms common 

 within the limits of the United States are also contained in the 

 collection. These last are evidently species of wide distribution, 

 since the characteristic fauna of St. Vincent must much more 

 nearly resemble that of northern South America than of North 

 America, or even of the subtropical portion of the Floridian 

 peninsula. 



It will appear from the portion of the Eeport contributed by 

 Mr. Ashmead that nine of the species are common to St. Vincent 

 and the United States, six occurring in the State of Florida, while 

 the other three have a more northern range. In the Chalcidids 

 studied by Mr. Howard nearly three fourths are new, although 

 not necessarily of subtropical limits. Nine of the previously de- 

 scribed forms are characteristically tropical or subtropical ; one, 

 curiously enough, has never before been found except in North 

 Europe, and must evidently be considered an introduced species 

 in St. Vincent ; while four are North American, two being found 

 commonly throughout the United States, one only in the district 

 of Columbia, and one in Florida. The following list is, I believe, 

 a fairly complete one of the previously described parasitic 

 Hymenoptera found on the island of St. Vincent, those marked 

 with a * having been previously reported, while those without 

 the * are now recorded for the first time from the collection on 

 which Messrs. Ashmead and Howard have reported ; so that with 

 the descriptive papers the list will comprehend all the parasitic 

 Hymenoptera so far known from the island.
